Looks like it was peeling anyway.' How high can a garden fence be? Despite what many people think a garden fence can be as high as 100m but you need to get planning permission for any fence taller than 2m. Any fence under 2m does not need planning permission.

EXTRA HELP WITH SCHOOL UNIFORM COSTS IF you can't get targeted help from your council, you might have some other options available to you. In some areas, you can talk directly to your school, which might be able to offer you clothing. Or, you might be able to get cheap garments from low-budget shops or charity stores. Some charities offer help to families in need too. But bear in mind charities often have a limited amount of money to give and usually have specific criteria which must be met in order to get a grant. Charity Turn2Us has a free grants search tool on its website which you can use to find out what help is available to you. Meanwhile, you can always try approaching your nearest Citizens' Advice branch. If you don't know where your nearest Citizens' Advice branch is, you can find out by visiting If you're not eligible for a school uniform grant you might be able to get help through the Household Support Fund.

Alongside her short clip showing off her new inking, Jimmy wrote: 'I got this Advertisement Read more tattoo stories She then added: 'I'm not sure if it's infected or what.

I never have to buy clothes as I've got them tattooed on & love it but trolls totally disagree Social media users were left horrified by Jimmy's tattoo fail and many eagerly raced to the comments to share their thoughts on the 'blown out' ink. One person said: 'This is seriously badly done, majorly blown out and 100% infected. For the fact you've said you got this a week ago go to your GP and get antibiotics. Also don't go back to the Advertisement Advice from a Celebrity Tattoo Artist CELEBRITY Tattoo Artist Matt Roe has revealed his top tips on getting inked to Fabulous... WHAT TATTOOS LOOK BEST? Matt says: "Tattoos are a highly personal choice, and my preference leans towards black and grey over colour. This is a style I've specialised in for over decade of my career, after exploring a variety of styles during my initial six years in tattooing. "This choice evolved from a deep appreciation for the timeless aesthetic that black and grey tattoos offer. Beyond colour preferences, it can be rewarding to choose a design that holds personal significance or matches your aesthetic tastes, although it isn't strictly necessary. "From an artistic standpoint, well-balanced designs that harmonise with the body's natural contours and enhance your features will invariably stand the test of time. "I often draw inspiration from classic pieces of art or nature for my designs, as these themes are more enduring and less influenced by trends. Whether opting for a bold statement piece or a delicate fine line design, the right tattoo should always feel like it's meant to be a part of you." WHICH STYLE IS RIGHT FOR ME? Matt shares: "Identifying the right style for your tattoo starts with some initial research. It's worth dedicating time to explore different tattoo styles - traditional, realism, and geometric are just a few examples. "Pay attention to what visually appeals to you the most. Reflect on the types of art that resonate with you in other areas of your life and consider how these preferences might translate onto your skin. "Before choosing a tattoo artist, have a clear idea of your preferred style, as most artists have their specialisations. Requesting a style outside their expertise is like asking an oil painter to create a pencil drawing—they might manage it and could do well, but it won't showcase their tried-and-tested skills to the best of their ability. "Once you've narrowed down your preferences, a skilled tattoo artist should be able to suggest designs that complement your skin tone, body type, and the intended scale of your tattoo. "The key is to blend your personal taste with professional guidance to find a style that truly suits you." TATTOOS TO AVOID? Matt recommends: "It's wise to steer clear of designs that are overly trendy, or based on jokes and fads, as these can quickly become outdated. "Some might recommend opting for heavy bold tattoos as they have been known to age better, but from my experience, a well-tattooed fine line piece can outlast a poorly tattooed bold-lined tattoo this isn't to say one is better than the other but my advice would be to choose someone experienced and skilled in the type of tattoo you are looking for. "Also, consider the long-term implications of getting tattoos with names of partners or overtly aggressive motifs, as these might limit your personal and professional opportunities in the future. "Additionally, think carefully about the placement of your tattoo, especially if it may need to be covered for professional reasons. These might not be concerns you need to consider, given your lifestyle, but having them in mind before proceeding with a tattoo is advisable. "Ultimately, a tattoo should be something that you are confident and comfortable with for a lifetime, reflecting your true self without reservation. "When looking for an artist, it's best to find ones with good reviews and healed photos of their work. Try to find someone with whom you feel comfortable and who will listen to any concerns you may have about design and placement. You don't want to feel rushed into a decision that will be with you forever." Another added: 'That looks so blown out. Perhaps they didn't use the right ink and you might be allergic, definitely went in too deep regardless.' A third commented: 'To me it unfortunately looks like a horribly done tattoo that you're now paying the price for. It's very blown out leading to scar tissue which pulls on and irritates your skin majorly.' I'm afraid it'll need to be amputated TikTok user Meanwhile, someone else remarked: 'Whoever did that to you needs their licence taken away!' Not only this, but another user questioned: 'Looks like a child did this.' Advertisement Which tattoos hurt the most? Depending on what part of your body you choose to ink, tattoos can range significantly in terms of pain levels. Some of the most painful areas are those where the skin tends to be thinner or closer to the bone. Each area has specific factors which contribute to the level of pain. Ribcage: Thin skin, little muscle, and many nerve endings. Feet and ankles: Many bones, tendons, and nerve endings close to the surface. Hands and fingers: Many bones, tendons, and nerve endings, resulting in increased pain during tattooing. Knuckles can be especially painful. Spine: Proximity of the spinal cord and nerve endings makes it sensitive. Tattooing directly over the vertebrae can be especially painful. Knees and elbows: Thin skin and little padding between the skin and the underlying bones. Armpits and groin: High concentration of nerve endings and lymph nodes. Neck and throat: Thin and sensitive skin, with many nerve endings and blood vessels close to the surface. Source: At the same time, one user claimed: 'I'm afraid it'll need to be amputated.'
