Celebrity tattoo artist reveals her best and worst clients trends now
A Sydney-based tattoo artist has revealed how Post Malone was her 'worst client' as he 'did her dirty' by not looking after his fresh ink.
Lauren Winzer, who has tattooed dozens of celebs including Miley Cyrus, Elsa Pataky and Sophie Turner, said the US rapper was a 'little ratbag' as he was 'lazy' with his tattoo care.
Speaking to 9Honey, the artist revealed how the heavily-inked musician, 27, came in to get a Playboy bunny tattooed on his face in 2018 but it quickly ended up patchy.

'I tattooed a Disney tattoo on his leg and then I did the Playboy Bunny on his face… he did me dirty on that one,' she said.
When she saw him again a year later, he apologised for letting it fade.
'He's like, "I'm sorry, I didn't put cream on it and I couldn't stop picking at it". And I was just like, "oh my God, that's on your face and in photos everywhere!"'.
'He's young and he's partying, he's definitely not looking after [his tattoos]... he's a little ratbag,' she added.

However, Post Malone was soon forgiven and remains one of her favourite clients after flying her to Miami to meet one of her favourite artists, Lil Wayne.
Lauren also praised his 'down to earth' attitude, revealing she didn't recognise him when they first met.
'He introduced himself to everyone that worked at the shop… he really took the time to get to know everyone and was just super genuine,' she says of the Sunflower hitmaker.
Among her other favourite celebs are Kelly Rowland, who left an $800 tip for 'two tiny tattoos'.
However, it's not been all plain sailing for Lauren, who faced vitriol from Game of Thrones fans who accused her of spoiling the ending after she tattooed a dire wolf with 'the pack survives' on Sophie Turner
She also loves to tattoo Miley
