Superstar X Factor songstress Leona Lewis has revealed a brand new tattoo on her back.

The star unveiled her new inking as she stepped out in a one shoulder William Tempest dress at the charity Love Ball on Monday.

The tattoo runs in a straight line from her neck to her back and was clearly visible as she walked the red carpet.

The star chose to style her usually long locks into a side swept, plaited ‘do for the occasion, perfectly displaying her new work of art.

And animal lover Leona is thought to have chosen the new inscription as a tribute to her favourite furry four-legged friends: horses!

The line of writing is reported to be a poetic passage, reading: ‘Their beauty captures every eye, a gift from God for all mankind, they lend us wings so we may fly, to ride a horse is to ride the sky.'

Leona already has one tattoo - a Hebrew inking on her wrist.

And it's said that she liked it so much, she decided to go for a bolder, more visable one this time around.

Lovely Leona's just one of the celebs to opt for an inscription along her spine. Do we spy a new trend emerging?

Victoria Beckham has a tribute to David starting at the nape of her neck, while newly single Cheryl Cole sports a now unfortunate design reading ‘Mrs C' on hers.

Too bad !

The tattoo looks horrible - why would you put something down your back that you cannot even see. Are we supposed to think she's edgy.Let's hope she stops there before it becomes a problem.

The tattoo is awful, but I like Leona as a person (what I know of her) and as a singer, so each one to their own.
