A woman called out trolls who labelled her "crazy" for her recent tattoo.<\/p>\n
Julie Turner decided to get an inking dedicated to Malcolm Michaels Quality Butchers in Leeds. <\/p>\n
The 52-year-old is a loyal customer of the butchers which she visits "every day" at Crossgates Shopping Centre.<\/p>\n

Now the mum-of-two decided to get inked on August 6 while she was on holiday in Scarborough. <\/p>\n
The tattoo reads: "Malcolm Michaels Butchers No1," on her upper left leg.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
While she was overjoyed to dedicate the inking to the "friendly butchers", some people have been nasty about it.<\/p>\n
But despite all, her inking to the butchers has won her a \u00a350 goody bag. <\/p>\n
Julie revealed: "Some people said 'You're crazy! You're mad!' and all that, stuff like that. <\/p>\n
"I've just told them it's my body and I can have whatever tattoo on me that I like."<\/p>\n
The mum claimed the idea for the tattoo came about after she was joking around with the lads at the shop. <\/p>\n
She already has a number of tattoos across her body, including one which says "Love me for who I am" on her left arm.<\/p>\n
Julie then thought about getting a Malcolm Michaels tattoo to compliment the ones she already had.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
'I was too hot to date \u2013 now I've found love with only bloke who didn't hit on me'<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
One of them jokingly dared her to do it, not thinking much of it at the time.<\/p>\n
Julie continued: "They're such a friendly bunch. They have laughs and jokes. It's such a fun friendly butchers." <\/p>\n
Malcolm Michaels Quality Butchers opened in the East Leeds shopping centre in May last year.<\/p>\n
It became Leeds' most popular butchers with more than 31,000 followers on Facebook and 5,000 fans on Instagram.<\/p>\n
Talking about the inking, co-owner Malcolm said: "I learned about it through our group text with the shop. <\/p>\n
"I must admit, I was shocked to say the least. <\/p>\n
"Many of our friends got Leeds United tattoos and tattoos of their heroes, and all sorts of things big in their lives.<\/p>\n
"It's an honour, a tribute but it's a big call." <\/p>\n

After Julie got the tattoo, Malcolm launched a competition on his Facebook page.<\/p>\n
The butchers want to see if anyone will also show their dedication for a \u00a350 goody bag of their products. <\/p>\n
Since no one could match Julie's commitment, she ended up taking the prize.<\/p>\n
The co-owner said: "If anyone else who is considering getting a Malcolm Michaels tattoo, they're more than welcome to get the logo, the name or any tributes \u2013 but please don't get a portrait of me! <\/p>\n
"It won't look good. You don't want a bald-headed bearded guy on your arm, keep it simple."<\/p>\n
