“It's not necessarily that I'm a fan of the royals, but it's the Queen.'
A woman who claims she is ‘not a royalist’ has had an amazing remembrance portrait of Queen Elizabeth II tattooed on her leg in tribute. Falon Cooper, 37, had planned to get the 'incredible' body art done for the Queen's platinum jubilee earlier this year but never got round to it.
"I've got other tattoos and I wanted the Queen anyway and it is something that I have been thinking about for a while with her jubilee,” she said. “I was exploring the option of maybe having a tattooed version of her, but with recent events I just thought that that was a little inappropriate. So I just went ahead and got a simple portrait of her as she is, because she doesn't need to be tarnished up with tattoos - she is pretty much incredible as she is.
"I think it was an immense honour to tattoo the queen in this very important period,” said Alessio. "I am so happy that people have liked it after all the effort that has been made in making this."
