Charlotte Church has revealed her new ink with her Instagram followers after she got her first tattoo.

The 37-year-old singer shared the snaps of two large snakes which wrap around her wrists and forearms.

The star also shared the significant meaning behind the ink with her fans, revealing that she "loved" her new body art and thanking the artist.

Alongside the snaps, the star penned: "Each element in these snakes embodies a layer of meaning. Placed prominently on my hands and forearm, they serve as a constant reminder to bring my awareness back to the present moment reports OK!.

"They’re a testament to strengthening my body and making mindful choices as I get older.

"They’re a nod to Lilith, the first woman and her symbol of two snakes. She was equal to Adam yet refused to lay under him, and then fled from Eden gaining her independence.

"I find her story fascinating, and it fuels my fight and keeps me aware of patriarchal confines wherever I see them."

She added: "Thank you so much for your beautiful art @aimeecornwelltattoo! I’m in love with them."

Sophie Ellis-Bextor was one of the famous faces who commented, writing: “Love the tattoos and the story behind them xx.”

Charlotte’s fans also shared their appreciation, with one person writing: “One wrote: ‘Ooh wow, love them, really beautiful."

Another said: "Love love love! the meaning is just spot on – love the story of Lilith."

A third wondered about the pain of such tattoos, commenting: "They are beautiful, but I know how much that bit on your inner wrist hurts to have tattooed!! X."

Prior to confirming what her first tattoo was, Charlotte, who rose to fame as a child classical singer had called it a 'life-changing experience’.

She also posted an action shot of her sitting in the chair as she got the ink on her arm, with a huge smile for the camera.

Captioning the pic: "Having my first ever tattoos a couple of weeks ago was an absolutely life changing experience! Shout out to @aimeecornwelltattoo for her wonderful work”.

The Welsh star went makeup-free and stunned in an orange patterned dress as she sat across from the tattoo artist.

It comes following the news that Charlotte had opened her dream nature and wellness retreat at the beginning of the year, which she documented through her own show.

The retreat “offers an escape from the complexity of modern life, connecting people back to the land, to themselves, and to their journeys.”
