What a clock up!

This embarrasing blunder by a Tattoo Fixers star will need a whole new cover up of its own

You normally go to the Tattoo Fixers when you need a cover up - it's not often you could do with one after you leave

WHEN you find yourself face to face with the tattoo fixers, it's usually because someone else did a shoddy job on your last inking.

But one guest on last night's Tattoo Fixers on Holiday ended up walking out of the shop with an inking which could really do with a cover up of its own.

Instead of appearing on the holiday version of the popular E4 show to get a cover up tattoo, Kat came to the Tattoo Fixers, Jay, Sketch, and Alice, to get a new inking.

She ended up in the TV tattooists' studio whilst on a 'YOGDO' holiday, which is short for You Only Get Divorced Once, and wanted some artwork to celebrate the occasion.

Alice was tasked with giving Kat an intricate inking, featuring a teacup, flowers and a pocket watch.

The design looks perfect at first glance, but eagle-eyed viewers were quick to notice something was wrong with the clock face - and the number nine in particular.

Rather than inking the roman numeral for 9, IX, Alice mistakenly gave Kat another number 11, which has the symbol XI.

One viewer tweeted: "Anyone else noticed there are 2 elevens? One should be a nine."

Another described the gaffe as "embarrasing," whilst a less-than impressed viewer joked: "Going to have to do another cover up on this one… Two 11s and no nine?"

And to make things even worse, the minute hand is pointing directly at Alice's embarrassing error.

You normally go to the Tattoo Fixers when you're in need of a cover up - it's not often you could do with one after walking out of their studio.
