A James Arthur fan has unveiled a tattoo of his face on her thigh.
German primary school teacher Ines Koch, from Bergen, was labelled "crazy" by her friends after spending four hours getting the body art.
The 25-year-old said that she has no regrets over her display of affection for the X Factor winner.
She told The Sun: "Some of my mates think I'm crazy for doing this, but I don't care because it means a lot to me and my life.
"James gave me the strength to start believing in myself again. This tattoo will always remind me to believe in myself and to never lose my strength no matter what I have to go through."
Talking about why she admires Arthur so much, she said: "He has shown every person in the world, that no matter where you are coming from and no matter what you've been going through, it's always important to never stop believing in yourself and to never lose faith in achieving what you have always dreamed of."
Koch added that she intends to follow in his footsteps by applying to The X Factor in 2013. (source)
