There seems to be a craze taking over the world lately; naked dining.

First, London opened a restaurant where diners were asked to fully de-robe. Australia then opened a 'clothing is optional' pop-up earlier this year.

And now, Japan has hopped on the bandwagon, opening a new naked restaurant, The Amrita, in Tokyo – BUT there's major strings attached.

As the staff wear G-strings to serve you food, it's not just any old joe that can get a seat in the unusual eatery. They have many, many rules:

  • No phones.
  • No "calling out to other customers."
  • No tattoos.
  • No touching.
  • Nobody under the age of 18 or over the age of 60.
  • And *drumroll* please – No overweight people.

We kid you not. You will be weighed and measured before you gain entry into The Amrita. If you're 30 pounds over the restaurant's recommended weight, then you're out on your bum.

AND you'll lose out on your money, too. The €115 to €473 dining experience – which you pay before you're weighed – is not refunded if you don't gain entry.

We think we'll keep our clothes on, thanks.

Don't get us wrong, we love tattoos of all shapes and sizes, but as many of us know, sometimes they can be a mistake or you simply just fall out of love with them a few years down the line.

However, that may not be an issue for much longer as chemical and biomolecular students at New York University have created a special kind of ink that can be erased; either straight away or in a couple of years.

The new ink has been named Ephemeral and it's a topical solution that claims to remove any sort of ink from your skin.

It will also come in handy if you need to remove a part or change a letter or a design to an already-existing tattoo.

The creators claim that the new product is less painful than laser removal and will hopefully be a lot cheaper and quicker too.

While the ink is still being tested, we're hoping it'll make its way over to us pretty soon and all of our tattoo woes will be gone forever!

If you've spent hours daydreaming about the perfect tattoo, but have yet to bite the bullet and actually get inked, then this app may be exactly what you've been looking for.

According to the Daily Mail, InkHunter was the product of a 48-hour hackathon in July 2014, and while it has been available on the app store for almost a year, a new version, which makes it a lot easier for the general public to use, was launched just yesterday.

Created by Oleksandra Rohachova and three co-creators, this free app lets you choose a tattoo from its library or create your own design before seeing how it would look on your own bod.

After tweaking the tat to your taste, you can save the image to your camera roll so you're fully prepared if you DO decide to take the plunge and present the picture to a real-life tattoo artist.

If you're all about the inking, but don't want to appear on E4's Tattoo Fixers any time soon, then it sounds like this could be the perfect solution!

The people over at Cut video have released a series of videos in which they explore how beauty has changed over the past 100 years. 

And their latest instalment is quite extreme. Instead of make-up and hair trends, they asked a tattoo artist, Clae Wlech to give a woman named Casey Lubin 11 different tattoos in just ONE week. 

Each tattoo represents the style of a popular artist in each decade of American history since 1900. 

Casey said, "I think it's great that we can use our body as a canvas and it's really cool that you can make art a part of your body," she said. "If your body is your temple then you should be able to decorate it the way you want, right?"

In has surfaced today that Rihanna used to play her new songs to three-year-old children and get them to choose which one they liked best.

Yep, you heard that right.

The Four Five Seconds hitmaker told Contact Music that she found playing her music to youngsters was a good indicator as to what would do well because she knew it meant they had ''great melodies''.

''I'd play my songs to my A&R's kids and see which ones they'd react to. They were three-years-old. Kids just love great melodies.''

She explained: ''I can't make a song for a particular person or demographic. If I love it, I'm gonna do it. I have to perform it for the rest of my life."

She also made the funny comparison of her songs being like tattoos.

''A song is like a tattoo – you can never get away from it. You can't stand behind something you don't believe in. You can pretend for a little while, but there's always going to be resentment. I can be who I am and sleep at night, knowing there's no pressure to be anything else.''

Whatever floats your boat Rihanna!

He's defended his look – but let's face it, Ed Sheeran's latest tattoo has certainly divided opinion.

In fact, there were numerous online commentators who initially assumed that the inking simply HAD TO be fake (a theory which was quickly rubbished by the singer himself).

Not that Ed's the only somewhat unlikely celebrity candidate to get a totally OTT etching.

From Cheryl Fernandez Versini's GIANT rose tattoo on her bum (WTF?) to Zayn's image of Perrie on his arm (opsies) famous folk LOVE to experiment with outrageous body art.

 

Cheryl Fernandez Versini: We can't even…

 

Ed Sheeran: Each to their own, we guess

 

Zayn Malik: That'll need removing, so

 

Rihanna: It's just A LOT to take in 

 

Cara Delevingne: Bacon on her foot… a lion on her finger

 

Tulisa: "Lucky you," down around her lady parts. Oh…

 

Megan Fox: "We will all laugh at gilded butterflies," – will we?

 

Sarah Harding: "Don't be bitter – glitter," says Sarah. Fair play.

While people have always used tattoos and paints as creative body art, the new method that people are using to design their skin is incredibly dangerous.

Most of us are acutely aware of just how bad high levels of sun exposure are for your health. We are forever being warned of the dangers and health risks that exposing ourselves to the sun without protection can cause.

But the latest worrying Instagram trend is seeing people purposely burning their skin in order to create a temporary tattoo.

Really?

A scary number of the social media site’s users have put pieces of cloth, stickers and tape to their skin and let their bodies burn so that when they remove the material, there will be the desired shape left on their skin.

Unprotected exposure to the sun can lead to skin cancer, ageing of the skin and other harmful side effects.

But alas, that is what people are willing to risk for a three-day tattoo.

Over the past few weeks you’ve probably been seeing an awful lot of people on social media brandishing their tiny tattoos. No, it’s not just that these people are really passionate about their grammar, although who isn’t these days?

Actually, the viral body art has a much deeper meaning. Most tattoos will have a story behind them, and for those who are part of the #semicolonproject, it’s more than just a punctuation symbol.

The tattoos are reflections of the individual’s struggles with mental health issues such as depression or addiction.

Project Semicolon was founded by Amy Bluel, who said "A semicolon is used when an author could've chosen to end their sentence, but chose not to. The author is you and the sentence is your life."

Amy lost her father to suicide and told the Huffington Post one of the reasons why she set up the project:

“I set out to inspire others so they can know they are not alone, that their story matters.”

And she is:

The project has its own website which encourages people to post images of their tattoos and share their stories. Since the project’s beginning, huge numbers of social media users have gotten on board to spread their support and raise awareness through the viral hashtag.

These are just some of the images which have been spotted which are hoping to spread Amy’s inspirational message. 

 

 

 

People are spreading Amy's message without getting inked themselves, some are using Sharpie's for their designs, and painting.

OK, so we all know how upset Miley Cyrus was when her dog Floyd died in April.

But isn’t this taking it a bit too far?

Miley and her friends all got matching tattoos of Floyd onto their sides at a party at the singer’s LA home yesterday.

The Wrecking Ball star posted the snaps of the tattoos to Instagram – which include a speech bubble saying, “with a little help from my fwends.”

We thought Miley was finally getting over Floyd after she adopted an adorable new pup called Emu last week, but now we’re really not so sure.

She had the work done after she posted a picture of herself taking a not-so-sly puff from a ‘joint’ being held by a man wearing a unicorn head… as you do!

Miley’s pal posted the snap with the caption, “Finally at Cyrus’s place with rainbow unicorn passing a joint…”

What a CRAZY night!

As daughter to rock legend Ozzy Osbourne, it is no surprise that Kelly Osbourne has a few tattoos on her body.

However, The Fashion Police star admitted as far back as 2010 that she no longer wanted ink all over her body and as she undergoes her third tattoo removal session she tries to warn people off  getting them.

Kelly wrote on her blog: “As humans we fill our conscience with clichés to selfishly justify the ridiculous things we do in life… Such as getting stupid tattoos.”

She added: “I have now undergone my third laser tattoo removal. All day I have found myself saying ‘no pain no gain’ or ‘pain is beauty!’ however the bigger lesson I have taken away from this horrendously painful experience is THINK BEFORE YOU INK!…

The 29-year-old has undergone a fairly subtle transformation from the girl we all knew on The Osbournes to a sophisticated woman and her tattoos clearly don’t go with her new look.

That must be some seriously good make-up to mask those tattoo sleeves!

Amber Rose had no problem showing off her post-pregnancy body at last night’s Grammy Awards but she wasn’t so keen on showing her tattoos, so she hid them completely!

She looks great since giving birth to son Sebastian, her little boy with husband Wiz Khalif, almost a year ago. However we do agree with Amber on her thinking that the tattoos wouldn’t look so good with that stunning Naeem Khan dress.
