Cheryl Cole's latest single A Million Lights is at No 1 in the iTunes chart

Cheryl Cole is a big fan of men with ink.

The singer, who's currently single, thinks a tattoo says a lot about a person.

'It's like body art, and I think it's reflective of somebody's personality,' says Cheryl, 28.

'I don't know what it is. I'm always attracted to people with body art.'

Cheryl has a number of tattoos including a tribal strip on her hand, a barbed wired pattern around her right thigh, an etching on her left buttock and the words Mrs C on her neck.

She also has a large design that stretches from her lower back to her thigh.

'The first tattoo I ever got was when I was 16 and my sister was having the first
grandchild of the family,' Cheryl tells i-D magazine.

'We all got a little symbol for him. I
got a teeny little tweety bird.'
