Who'd have thought fresh-faced Brit model Rosie would have anything in common with 80s rock child Axl Rose? And no, it's not their flowing golden locks, but their cute as a button heart tattoos.

Tatted up Danish beauty Freja Beha has a lot to thank inventor Thomas Edison for, as without his electric pen invention both of their 'dot' design tattoos wouldn't have been possible. Cheers, Tom!

Okay okay, this one is maybe a little tenuous with the Biebster sporting a koi tat and Prince Frederik showcasing a shark. HOWEVER, as they're part of the same fishy family, we can accept this bizarre connection.

11. King Edward VII and Rick Ross

These two mighty moguls chose a classic to add to their bodies, yep that old favourite: a crucifix. Good choice, chaps.

12. Lady Gaga and Winston Churchill

Possibly the strangest of them all: Gaga and Churchill with their matching anchor tattoos. Whilst some debate whether Churchill actually went under the needle, we like to think of this wartime leader kicking back with a cigar and letting the artist do his worst.
