I love the designs of many tattoos, but I don’t want one myself. I was as pleased as punch when I found Sacred Stitches, a Brighton (UK) based company who makes customised, tattoo-inspired cushions and clothes.

All of the fun, and none of the pain. And you will be able to see the tattoo really clearly, unlike, say, if it was on your back. All the classic designs are there; sugar skulls, swallows, skeletons and many other of the usual suspects. Personally, I really like the butterfly skull cushion pictured, but there is a lot more on their website including a really cool duvet cover.

Talking of duvet covers, I am a massive fan of this set done in tattoo-inspired material by Lulu Guinness. However, for me, the one from Sarri Design is the all out winner - it totally rocks!
