A Rihanna fan has spoken about why she has decided to cover herself in tattoos of the singer.

23-year-old Sarah Ridge from Wiltshire is so obsessed with the 'Stay' star that she has inked tributes all over her body.

Her back features numerous images of Rihanna's face under the phrase 'Queen of Barbados'.

Ridge has also copied the singer's distinctive Egyptian tattoo under her chest.

Speaking about the tattoos, the fan said: "My friends think it’s a weird obsession and I know my family would prefer it if my tattoos were more discreet.

"Guys might be put off dating me, but to be honest, I’m only interested in men who are Rihanna fans anyway."

She added: "Ultimately, as long as I love my tattoos, that’s all that matters.

"I have loved Rihanna for nearly 10 years, and I’ll love her forever. Some people say I’ve ruined my body, but I just laugh it off.

"Rihanna’s face is gorgeous, so having her image on my body makes it look better in my eyes."
