Body language experts have offered tips on how your partner's tattoos can help you read their personality.

Judi James, in her new book 'The You Code', said ,different designs can offer a deep insight into what the person personality.

"A tattoo is a way of turning your body into an advertising placard with the underlying desire of getting people to believe what they read there - but they actually uncover their inner personality. So you can even use tattoos to weigh up a potential date or your other half," Judi says.

Judi explained how men and women could display their true colours through body art.
How to read HIS tattoos

Lover's Name

Do you think it is love because he's gone and got your name etched on his chest? But beware. The underline reading into it is that he falls in love big but never seems to learn from his mistakes in life. He's the eternal optimist who always thinks he has found The One.

Mystical Tattoos

Two kinds of reading of this sort of guy: firstly he craves attention, but secondly that he considers himself deep but misunderstood. He makes mystic and confusing design to pretend himself as a mystry.

Kids' Names

This guy can be the sort who doesn't like to in a upstaged relationship. It suggests responsibility and sensitivity, but not necessarily staying power in his adult relationship.

Wacky Designs

This man actually leads quite a responsible life. Though he seems quite serious at times but he also likes to keep you entertained with a secretly naughty sense of humour.

Sports Tattoos

Club crests and trophies show an immense amount of loyalty. Can be termed as an old fashioned guy. A bit of an alpha male who likes to be in charge and is into high status.

Celeb wearer

Movie star Johnny Depp, 46, changed a tattoo bearing the name of his former lover Winona Ryder to Wino Forever.

Animal Tattoos

Such a person wants people around him to believe that he is strong. Probably wants to be an animal in the bedroom and this may well be the case.

TV and Movie Tattoos

This is like a little kid dressing up in his favourite costume and identifying with his favourite superhero. Expect him to be a little boy with a big ego in a relationship.

How to read HER body art

Tattoos Everywhere

She has tatooed for no reason. Frickel Minded character. She is spontaneous and can change her mind with the wind when she's in a relationship. But she is also likely to be an exciting creative lover.

Mottos and Messages

This woman tends to consider herself on a higher level and can often seem distracted. She is looking for a sense of meaning to her life and can appear to be in a confused relationship. She is always in search of the perfect lover, which makes her not the perfect partner.

Precious Tattoos

This girl has only one or possibly two tattoos and they're safe designs like stars or small hearts or flowers. This girl likes to believe she is a rebel and as daring as hell but in reality she can be a bit of an attention-seeking perfectionist and is high-maintenance in a relationship. But she''s the ideal girl to take home to the parents.

Sex Signals

These kind of tattoos draw attention to sexiest parts of body and reveal a high level of self-esteem about the sexy character of the wearer. But they can also be combined with things that show that they only go so far, like Cheryl Cole's barbed wire.
