Coldplay frontman Chris Martin is a big fan of tattoos, insisting the buzz he gets from having them done is like a drug.

The Yellow hit-maker, who has several pieces of body art, admits he turned to the inkings after becoming scared of being caught out by the media if he ever took drugs.

Martin, who is married to Hollywood actress Gwyneth Paltrow, says, "Getting tattooed is brilliant. I got a few done in my 30s and it is the best ever - especially if you are married and can't take drugs because the (British newspaper) Daily Mirror might find out. I recommend getting a tattoo whether you are 70 or 12 - actually, maybe not 12; I think that might be a bit too young."
