We're not quite sure what the eff Cheryl Cole was thinking when she decided to cover her lovely behind in one of the most horrific celebrity tattoos we've ever seen. Not only would it have been a rather embarrassing session in the chair - "could you hold your cheeks apart slightly more please, Ms Cole" - but it must have been pretty damn painful.
Of course, it divided opinion upon its Instagram debut on Sunday, but it was by no means Chez's first time under the artist's needle - the former 'X Factor' judge has quite a history of ill-advised tattoos, as it turns out...
Cheryl Cole Cheryl was inked even before finding fame on 'Popstars: The Rivals' in 2002, already sporting a butterfly tramp stamp.
She also already had a Tweedy-Pie etched on her bum, as it was her childhood nickname. Nice thong, Chezza!
After finding fame with Girls Aloud, she soon had a barbed wire tat etched around her right thigh, complete with a treble clef, cos she's musical, innit.
Cheryl added to her collection with a (now much-copied) tribal design on the side of her right hand.
She then had 'Mrs C' inked on the back of her neck in honour of her husband Ashley, following their wedding. Bet she regrets that one now.
Cheryl also showed off another design on her bum at the Brits in 2009. Cheeky!
Chez then decided to go large with her tattoos, expanding her back tat with a vine design over her original butterfly, which she revealed at the NTAs 2011.
Then, her 'Call My Name' video released in 2012 seemed to suggest the tattoo continued down her leg. Looks like she's not wiped properly to us.
Then, in 2013, she shocked the world (ok, us) when she revealed her giant rose tattoo while performing with Girls Aloud on their Ten reunion tour, which covered most of her previous tattoos.
But this wasn't the end of it. Oh no. Not by a long shot.
ARRRRGHHHH! What have you done Chezza?!
1. Cheryl auditions for 'Popstars: The Rivals'
Our first ever glimpse of a 19-year-old Cheryl came courtesy of her audition on pre-X Factor singing competition, 'Popstars: The Rivals'. Pete Waterman was clearly impressed, declaring: "You'd need to be dead if you didn't think she was stunning." Quite.
2. That outfit she wore for her first ill-fated day on 'The X Factor USA'
Just... no.
3. That naff lottery photocall with her naff ex hubby
The outfit! The dry ice! The husband! The sheer desperation!
4. The 'Call My Name' video
The moment Cheryl gave the likes of Rihanna and Lady Gaga a run for their money.
5. The court case
Back in 2003, Cheryl Tweedy (as she was then known) was charged with racially aggravated assault after being arrested at Guildford (Guildford!) club The Drink whne she allegedly hitting a toilet attendant. Cue a teary court appearance in Kingston (Kingston!) and a cream jacket from Dotty Ps.
6. The slashed trousers
Oooh she'll catch her death etc, etc.
7. Blanking Jay Kay of Jamiroquai on The X Factor
Cue a double death stare from Cheryl and Dannii Minogue *cowers behind sofa*
8. When she was bezzies with Posh
Ok, so it only lasted a few weeks, but when Posh took Cheryl under her protective WAG wings at the 2006 World Cup (and simultaneously ignored the rest of the WAGS) it was all a bit 'Mean Girls' and we were in celeb bezzie heaven.
9. The 'Fight For This Love' video
Girls Aloud who?
10. The chav years
The white cap! The hoop earrings! The cropped top! Tulisa was watching (and waiting) in the wings.
11. The side boob
Well, you truly haven't made it until you've flashed a bit of side boobage.
12. Her cringy mic fail on 'Stand Up To Cancer'
Cheryl's appearance on 'Stand Up To Cancer' is one she'll want to forget. Forever. Live telly + energetic dance routine + mic fail = cringe central.
13. The gurn
Because when Cheryl pulls an ugly, we feel a tiny bit better about ourselves
14. Her reaction to Cher Lloyd's 'X Factor' audition
'You are reet up my street'. Us too, Cheryl, us too.
15. Her flirty tweets to Tom Daley
"Congratulations @TomDaley1994.. You did us all proud.. !! Now you should have some free time to teach me that dive!!" Get a room!
16. When she threw up on telly with a hangover
You can take the lass out of Newcastle...
17. Her look for the 2011 Pride of Britain Awards
From the honeyed tones of her hair and tanned, slender limbs to <em>that</em> dress... has Cheryl ever looked more drop dead gorgeous?
18. When she cried on 'Piers Morgan's Life Stories'
Because popstars have feelings too.
19. The head scarf years
How to make a head scarf look even worse? Go for the poo brown option. In cheap fabric.
20. The swan dive
Tom Daley, eat your heart out.
21. The thigh tattoo
Put it away love.
22. Her love of a pooch
We're really not keen on the human-mouth-to-dog-mouth kissy thing though.
23. When her act, Alexandra Burke, won 'The X Factor' in her first year in the job
How proud?
24. When she colour co-ordinated her hair to her outfit
Nice yellow highlight, Chezza.
25. Her L'Oréal ads
Aaaaaand... swish (because she's worth it).
26. Her 2013 Cannes appearance
Looking every inch the Hollywood starlet. Meanwhile, the world asks, 'why?'
27. The naughty school girl look
She <s>wasted</s> saved this one for Girls Aloud's gay audience at the Big Gay Out in 2005.
28. The tramp stamp on her back
What. Were. You. Thinking?
29. Her mum
Ok, so her mum can't really be classed as a 'moment' but Joan has been there through thick and thin, and for that we salute her. And errr, hello? She did play quite a major role in creating Chezza in the first place, you know.
30. And finally... the sex crab
One part amazing, two parts ridiculous.

Anastasia, it's time to book an appointment at the laser removal clinic.
Cheryl Cole
We get it Cheryl - you're an English rose. But do they have to be that <em>big</em>?
Chris Brown
In a move that was ugly on several levels, real-man-impersonator and least-deserving-celebrity-of-all-time Chris Brown got a picture of a woman's battered face tattooed onto his neck months after battering a woman's face with his bare fists.
Eminem
Slim Shady's insistence on putting daughter Hailie Mathers in his songs was bad enough. This tattoo of her is embarrassing parenting taken a step too far.
Eva Longoria
There's nothing wrong with Eva's (now removed) 'Nine' tattoo per say, except that it represents the folly of getting inked in tribute to your partner - in this case basketball player Tony Parker, jersey number 9 - when they end up cheating on you.
Harry Styles
Harry's tatts all look like they've been scribbled on the back of a biology exercise book in Biro by a fidgety teenager. Quite apt, really.
Hayden Panettiere
Like a job application or a witty riposte, the first run of getting words tattooed onto yourself is to make sure it is spelled properly. Heroes star Hayden stumbled at this first hurdle with her Italian phrase which was meant to say 'live without regrets'. She has since admitted regretting the tattoo.
Justin Bieber
Nothing wrong with an owl, we suppose... represents knowledge and wisdom... good at hunting... it's just that this one likes a bit, well, crap.
Justin Bieber 2
...and while we're at it, Justin, getting the name of your own album tattooed on your arm is a bit naff - not least of all because you're bound to get older and want to move away from your pop origins into making 'proper music'. Just sayin'.
Katie Price
We know Pricey is fond of a wedding, but this is just ridiculous...
Liam Payne
It's one direction alright - down your forearm towards your hand. Why, we have no idea.
Louis Tomlinson
What is it with 1D and their doodles?!
Mark Wahlberg
Irony or no irony, a tattoo of your own name is NEVER cool.
Megan Fox
The problem with getting a line from King Lear tattooed on your back is that everyone, forever, is going to ask about it, and you're going to have to say 'It's a quote from Shakespeare'. Which is a line that's impossible to say without sounding like a pretentious t**t.
Mike Tyson
It's on your face Mike. Enough said.
Pamela Anderson
Would you get a tattoo reminding everyone of your most embarrassing failure? Of course not. So why Pamela Anderson has one that screams: 'I starred Barbed Wire one of the biggest commercially and critical flops of all time', we have no idea.
Steve-O
The Jackass star got his own face tattooed on his back, which is a lot of pain to go through for a joke.
Zayn Malik
"I got a mic on my arm cos, y'know, I'm all about music". O-kay...
