SHELTERED housing scheme warden Sue Troughton helped raise hundreds of pounds for Rossendale Hospice by having her third tattoo -- but this one was definitely the last.
The mum of two from Goodshaw Avenue, Loveclough, got sponsorship from all the older people on her scheme who willingly backed her fund raiser and today will get to see the finished design.
Sue said: "I suffer from arthritis and so I can't do a sponsored walk, run or swim, but this is one way I can raise money for charity."
Sue, the charities co-ordinator for Rossendale Valley Motorbike Show, agreed to have a design specially created by her nephew Sean Carr of Millennium Tattoo, in Crawshawbooth, on her shoulder blade.
The tattoo shows two bears, a bride and groom, on a motorbike dressed in the same outfit and dress as the bike show wedding couple Pippa Baggs and Simon Tiller.
Sue said: "It was sore and very painful, but it is worth it. The detail on the bike is excellent and the design is great and it is full of movement with the dress appearing to be blown in the wind.
"It is going to be my last one though -- I've got no more room left!"
