Halle Berry reveals amazing new back tattoo

The Oscar-winning actor has shocked her fans after showing off her massive new ink in a topless photo.

Halle Berry has shown off her stunning new back tattoo, in a topless photo posted to Instagram.

The Oscar-winning actor shared a photo of herself in a kitchen posing with her back to the camera, revealing a vine tattoo which spanned the length of her spine.

“Who says I’m not a mermaid,” Berry captioned the photo.

The Monster’s Ball star’s followers praised her new ink in the comments. However, not everyone was convinced it was real.

“No way that’s a real tattoo. I have a few and they hurt,” one person wrote, while another commented: “Nice! is that body paint or a real permanent tattoo?”

The 52-year-old shares regular updates on her Instagram, posting every week about her best #FitnessFriday working out or ketogenic diet tips, which she says works wonders for her as a diabetic.

“I eat healthy fats all day long, avocado, oil, coconut oil and I use butter, but don’t have any sugar. So when your body gets trained to burn fats, it’s constantly on fat-burning mode — that’s the secret,” she told US talk show Live! with Kelly and Ryan.

Berry’s personal trainer Peter Lee Thomas told People last year the actor stays in shape with a combination of marital arts, boxing, yoga and “a lot of military training”.

“I had no idea what her age was when I met her,” he said. .

“I never looked or was interested in that, and when I found out, I was absolutely shell-shocked because she has the discipline and athleticism of a 25-year-old.”
