Tattoos: Your employer's permanent record

X Factor judge and N-Dubz star, Tulisa (AP)

I like my boss. She brings home-cooked snacks into the office to share. She is funny. Of course, I would say that in print, but it's true.

I also like tattoos. I have a few of them, from a provincial tattoo-parlour dragon to a hipster-lite star on my toe. I wouldn't want to permanently ink her name on my body, though, unlike popstrel Tulisa's male PA, who has just had "Tulisa" tattooed on his leg.

And you thought I was sucking up to my boss...
