Cheryl Cole shows off a new tattoo

Cheryl Cole revealed a large new tattoo on her lower back, featuring two coloured roses, during the first night of Girls Aloud's 'Ten - The Hits' tour in her home city of Newcastle in England.

It's unknown whether the extensive inking is just for show or a permanent tattoo but Cheryl had the artwork on full display in a series of sexy and revealing outfits, including a studded pink and silver bra and pink tutu, a futuristic bedazzled black corset, and a stylish monochrome crop top paired with leather pants.

Cheryl and her bandmates Nadine Coyle, Sarah Harding, Nicola Roberts and Kimberley Walsh have reunited on stage for their first tour since 2009.

Cheryl addressed the excited crowd: "There is no other place in the world we'd rather be than here with you Geordies! Are you ready to party with us? It's been a long time coming!"

Cheryl's other inkings include tribal tattoos on her right hand and lower spine, a 'Mrs Cole' marking on the back of her neck, a treble clef and vine leaves wrapped around her right thigh and a mysterious tattoo on her bum.
