But when a famous person gets some artwork permanently sketched onto their skin it's always interesting and usually a little weird.
Case in point, Justin Bieber who can now say - with 100% conviction - that his body is a work of art, for the Biebs has been tattooed by Banksy. Well, he hasn't, rather he's got a tattoo of one of Banksy's famous art works.
Unfortunately for Bieber an Instagram page purporting to be the famously shy artist - who creates incredible public works of graffiti art - has decided that the troubled pop prince's new tattoo is 'controversial'.
Posting a picture of the Biebs with his new inking, the profile wrote: "Controversial @justinbieber #banksy"
The pop star got the version of the priceless work of art of Banksy's famous balloon girl drawing permanently scrawled on his skin by a tattoo artist in Canada.
At least with those the world's biggest pop brat will be in good company – he's not the only famous person to get inked with regrettable artwork...
Miley Cyrus
Bangerz princess Miley - who is currently worrying parents across the globe by touring it - has had a sad cat tattoo inked on her INSIDE LIP. Ouch!
Miley shared a couple of pictures of her new painful inking to her Instagram account with the captions: "#sadkitty #f***yeahtulsa #lovemoneyparty #freakz."
That seems to cover it.
At least the Wrecking Ball singer has good oral health so at least her dentist will be pleased - if a little shocked the next time he asks her to open wide and he's confronted with Miley's miserable pussycat.
CHERYL COLE
Cheryl Cole has defended her giant tattoo of a rose, saying it was “art” and comparing her “form of expression” to music, dance and painting.But while the returning X Factor judge was delighted with the red and black design now, she might come to regret it one day.
The tattoo, which takes over her entire bottom as well as her lower back, looks interesting on her pert 30-year-old backside. But what about when she hits 80?
Katie Price
She chose not to undergo painful laser removal to scrub the tattoo of ex-husband Peter Andre’s name from her wrist.Just weeks after announcing the end of their three-year marriage, mum-of-three Katie spent £85 getting a cross tattooed through his name while on holiday in Ibiza.
The 35-year-old clearly didn’t learn from the experience.
In 2011 she was spotted with a tattoo of the date 27-02-11 with ‘Leo’ written above it – to note the day she first met then-boyfriend Leandro Penna. They split the following year.
Tattoo count: Six – at least
Biggest: A garter tattoo around her right thigh
David Beckham
The former England footballer has 32 tattoos, including full sleeves on both his arms.He claims he loves them all, despite the Sanskrit misspelling of his wife Victoria’s name in one.
Becks, 38, said: “I don’t regret any of them. They all have a meaning. That’s important.”
Tattoo count: 32
Biggest: Apart from his full sleeves, the winged figure on his back
Jesse Metcalfe
In 2007, just before he went into rehab for his drinking, Dallas star Jesse Metcalfe got a tattoo of his then-girlfriend Nadine Coyle on his arm. Naked.They split up shortly afterwards, leaving Jesse, 34, with just a tattoo he regretted.
He said: “If I could get it removed, I would. At the same time, it’s my favourite tattoo.
“I think it’s beautiful but it was a bit impulsive, a bit impetuous and a bit immature.”
Tattoo count: Three
Biggest: Naked Nadine
Miley Cyrus (again)
Miley Cyrus makes her second appearance on the list with this strangely touching - if super weird - inking.Coming after a session with LA Ink star Kat Von D, the twerking one proudly showed off a picture of her massive arm tattoo of her grandma.
"Because I am her favorite & she is mine," the Queen of Bangerz wrote alongside a picture of the new tattoo of her grandmother Loretta Finley.
And while the sentiment is touching and the design is quite impressive, it's not to all tastes, obviously, but it's unlikely that Miley cares about what anyone else thinks.
Zayn Malik
It probably seemed the ultimate way to say “I love you” when One Direction hunk Zayn decided to get a tattoo of girlfriend Perrie Edwards.
And while the One Direction boys like their ink, Zayn, 20, pushed the boat out with his cartoon-style tattoo of the Little Mix star in a beanie and CND T-shirt.
They are now engaged but if they get married Perrie will face looking at her 20-year-old face for the rest of her life.
Even Perrie was speechless at what he had done. Zayn said: “I didn’t tell her before I had it done and surprised her with it when I came back from the States one day. She was shocked at first, but loves it now.”
Tattoo count: At least 24
Biggest: Perrie – it fills his upper right arm
Jackson Rathbone
It's never advisable to get a tattoo of your loved one but it’s worse when the object of your affection isn’t even a person.
Twilight star Jackson, 28, revealed his tattoo last year – a bottle of Heinz ketchup on his calf.
He said: “I love ketchup. My dad would say ‘Do you want a little hamburger with
that ketchup?’”
His love should outlive any Hollywood relationship.
Tattoo count: At least four
Biggest: Ketchup
Johnny Depp
What is worse than a tattoo suggesting you have a drink problem? One that says you’ll love your girlfriend forever.
Pirates of the Caribbean star Johnny, 50, had a ‘Winona Forever’ tattoo done on his right arm during a three-year relationship with Winona Ryder.
When they split in 1993, the Hollywood actor had it changed to ‘Wino Forever’.
Tattoo count: At least 30
Biggest: Portraits of his mother and grandfather
Chris Brown
When Chris Brown attacked his on-off girlfriend Rihanna in 2009, leaving her bloodied and bruised, the violence sent shock waves round the world.
The thuggish singer was sentenced to five years’ probation and six months of community service and even spoke of his regret at the attack.
Then he decided to get a tattoo which looked bizarrely like Rihanna’s battered face on his neck last year.
Despite a close resemblance to the Umbrella singer, Brown’s spokesman denied the inking was of Rihanna and claimed it was a “sugar skull”, associated with the Mexican Day of the Dead celebration.
He said: “His tattoo is a sugar skull. It is not Rihanna or an abused woman as erroneously reported.”
Tattoo count: Countless
Biggest: Tyrannosaurus Rex on the left-hand side of his torso
He first got together with actress Roseanne Barr in 1983 but their relationship was difficult because of his drinking and drug-taking. As their four-year marriage hit the rocks in 1994, Tom decided a tattoo of Roseanne on his chest would do wonders to rekindle their failing romance. It didn’t.
The 54-year-old said: “On Valentine’s Day that year I said I’m going to save the marriage and got a 12-hour tattoo of her face on my chest. Stupidest thing I ever did.”
Tom then spent 18 months having the tattoo removed.
Tattoo count: One remaining
Biggest: Formerly the Roseanne illustration, now some Chinese symbols on his leg

Tom Arnold
If it’s silly to ever get a tattoo of your other half when you’re at the height of romantic bliss, it’s even sillier to get one done when your marriage is pretty much on the rocks. Just ask actor Tom Arnold.He first got together with actress Roseanne Barr in 1983 but their relationship was difficult because of his drinking and drug-taking. As their four-year marriage hit the rocks in 1994, Tom decided a tattoo of Roseanne on his chest would do wonders to rekindle their failing romance. It didn’t.
