Tattoo Fixers client Amber amazes viewers by wanting her leg inking of homeless Ian Beale FULLY COMPLETED
The hardcore EastEnders fan even relished having the phrase 'Keep It Real Like Ian Beale' added to her design
HARDCORE Ian Beale fan Amber amazed Tattoo Fixers artists and fans by asking for her inking of the EastEnders favourite in his homeless phase to be FULLY COMPLETED - to show her pride for her "idol."
The bubbly lass blast into the salon telling the crew she had been hailed "one of Britain's biggest t******" after the design of the shaggy-haired businessman, played by Adam Woodyatt, was emblazoned on her right thigh.
Her best pal told her she'd have to get the design as a bet after she slept with a particular guy following a Halloween party.
She then headed to a nearby parlour and emerged with a rather shoddy portrait.
Amber told the Channel 4 show: "It's a running joke to have Ian Beale tattooed on me.
Gushing over the iconic soap character she said: "If you can go from rock bottom and get all your s*** together and continue your three businesses and they are thriving better than they have before, that's the kind of idol I want.
"I want to get it finished."
After she revealed her design to the presenters they all squealed: "Oh my God I know who it is!"
South London lad Sketch vowed to take on the quirky design , showing a bearded Ian in a green hat, and quipped: "I'm going to be touching up Ian Beale!"
Viewers were quick to share their bemusement and hilarity at her decision on Twitter.
One wrote: "Haha, I have no words after seeing homeless Ian Beale tattooed to a women's thigh ," while another added: " cringing at the girl with the Ian beale tattoo .... ."
One posted: "Why would you get a tattoo of Ian Beale on you ," followed by a cheeky monkey Emoji icon covering its eyes.
Another surprised telly fan posted: "Omg! she wants to keep ian beale tattoo... why , just why "
One wrote: "Can't believe someone has just gone on tattoo fixers with a tattoo of Ian Beale and doesn't want it covered up, but finished."
A second wrote: "No way has this woman on tattoo fixers had Ian Beale from eastenders tattood on her of when he went through his homeless phase," while a third posted: Whoa!!!! Ian Beale as a down and out on her leg and she wants it tarted up not changed!"
