Mel C has unveiled a tattoo tribute to her favourite Ibiza club Pacha, getting an image of the iconic 'Pacha cherries' inked on her arm.
The cherry logo has been one of the white isle's most recognisable symbols for almost 50 years, with the Spice Girl and DJ having played at the venue numerous times over the years including five straight summers.
And as she marked her fifth consecutive season at Pacha, Mel, 52, paid a personal tribute to the club before joining world renowned American DJ Roger Sanchez, 59, on the decks as a special guest at Flower Power.
Mel looked fabulous in a black lace Nike T-shirt as she showed off her new inking while posing with Roger.
Meanwhile Roger cut a cool figure in a cut-out grey sweater vest as he struck a fun pose for the photo.
Mel's cherries ink joins a number of tattoos she has accumulated over the years, including a large 'lucky' Celtic cross on her left arm, Japanese symbols on her right arm which translate to 'woman' and 'strength' and a dragon on her right leg.

Further inks include a feather, a phoenix, a Celtic circlet and a lotus flower, with Mel having a love-hate relationship with her body art.
Back in September 2022, Mel told the Daily Mail of her tattoo regret: 'I go through phases. I have periods when I just wish my tattoos weren't there.'
She also told how the artwork and designs are so old-fashioned now that they instantly carbon date her to the 1990s.
Back then, Mel, known as Sporty Spice once had dinner with Madonna and asked why she didn't have any tattoos, to which the Queen of Pop replied: 'Too permanent.'
On her daughter Scarlet, who she shares with ex Thomas Starr, possibly getting a tattoo, she added: 'She's at that stage where there are so many things I advise her about but she pretends not to listen.
'But on this? Well, I haven't got a leg to stand on, have I? No, I haven't gotten a tattooed leg to stand on.'
Meanwhile, the previous year, Mel confessed: 'I do. I have a love hate relationship with them' as she spoke to Howie Mandel during his guest hosting stint on The Ellen DeGeneres Show.
'It's funny, they tell stories of different times in my life,' the British star said, before Howie jumped in to ask about the story behind the tattoo on the inside of her right forearm.

'This one says love,' she said of the piece that Howie pointed out, which she revealed was written in Tibetan. She also showed a matching tattoo around the same spot of her left arm that translates to 'happiness'.
Being a comedian by trade, Howie then tried to convince Mel that he speaks fluent Tibetan and that the words on her arm don't match the definition she was given.
'I don't want to say what that says but I will tell you what that says in the commercial,' he said, while pointing at the tattoos.
The joke appeared to have Mel a bit worried before the guest host let her in on the joke.
