Emmerdale star Lucy Pargeter branded 'stunning' as she debuts huge back tattoo

Emmerdale star Lucy Pargeter has wowed her followers as she showed off her huge back tattoo. The actress, famed for playing Chas Dingle in the ITV soap, took to both Twitter and Instagram to show off the intricate new inking.

Lucy, 42, reshared a snap posted by her tattoo artist which saw her posing with her back turned to the camera. Her brunette tresses had been messily but cooly pulled up into a claw clip in order to show off her body art which started from the bottom of her neck and moved down to the middle of her body.

The expansive and thinly-drawn design featured floral patterns on both shoulder blades while the petals were headed up by a delicately drawn chandelier-style design that spanned the back of her ribs.
