Grandmother Sheila Jones has given her body to art - and covered it with nearly three hundred tattoos.
She had six done over an 18-month period in her late 30s after she married and started her family.
Sheila's obsession started as a schoolgirl experiment with a sewing needle and pot of Indian ink. Sheila, then 15, had a crush on a boy and decided to get her friend to ink his name on her arm
Shelia has a large koi fish on her thigh, birth sign Aquarius, butterflies and eyes on her back along with Jesus on the cross and eyes on each knee
They included roses on each forearm and left leg, a Celtic-style band on her left upper arm and crosses on both her arms.
But it was when Sheila met second husband Rob, 49, who she married in 2006, that her interest in tattoos really took off.
He was a 'hobby tattooist' who did body art for family and friends and Sheila was perfect to practice on.
