A photography fan has become the girl with the camera tattoo on her arm.

Lotte van den Acker, 24, didn't have to look far for a talented body artist as it was her mother Helma van der Weide who applied the work.

Lotte, from Brunssum, Holland, now has an incredible optical illusion of a vintage 1970s Asahi Pentax 35mm SLR, which makes it appear as if she is taking a picture when she holds up her forearm.

Mother Helma explains: "In the 80s, one of my girlfriends started a photography class and got herself this Pentax camera.

"At that time my daughter Lotte was born, on 11 November 1988, so my friend made very nice pictures of me and my lovely baby with this camera.

"I had the opportunity to buy my friends old Pentax and my daughter started using this camera for the first time, at the age of 10.

"After a while she got more and more interested in photography so she started an education at the Academy of Arts in Rotterdam.

"Of course, she doesn't use this Pentax anymore, we got her a Canon 7D and she makes great pics and films."
