A cosmetic surgeon is offering free tattoo removals to people who had the word "Yes" inked to them during the campaign for Scottish independence.

In the wake of the Scottish referendum Dr. Leah Totton is offering 50 per cent off tattoo removal surgery for anyone who got a 'yes' tattoo.

In the hours leading up to the referendum she tweeted the following: "In the case of a 'yes' vote, Dr. Leah Clinics will be offering 50% off the removal of any #UnionJack tattoos made obsolete by #indyref", immediately afterwards extending the offer to say "Should it be a 'no', we've seen a few 'Yes Scotland' tattoos, which we'll offer to remove for 50% off at Dr Leah clinic #indyref #Scotland".

The offer has been further extended to potentially be done for free if people come to the clinic today.
