Megan Fox has hit out at critics who have dubbed her tattoos "trashy" - and vowed to cover herself in body art to spite them.

The actress was this year named the sexiest woman in the world by readers of a leading men's magazine, but she claims she's looked down upon by people who don't like her nine tattoos.

Fox has no intention of stopping at nine - and insists her detractors need to be more open-minded.

The 22-year-old says, "Everyone hates them because they're closed-minded about tattoos. People who don't like me, as far as fans go, always talk about how I'm trashy because I have tattoos. I find that insane! This is 2008, not 1950. Tattoos aren't limited to sailors. I find them beautiful, so I'm going to keep doing it." (IG/TS/LJ)
