British rugby union player Danny Cipriani features in a new PETA advert, in which he shows off his tattoos beside the words 'Ink, Not Mink'.

Shot by celebrity photographer Trevor Leighton, the ad goes on to say 'Fur looks good only on its original owner. Be comfortable in your own skin, and let animals keep theirs'. Cipriani, the first rugby player to star in a PETA advert, commented 'The rugby pitch is known for being a tough environment, but it's nothing compared to what some animals go through when being hunted for their fur. I'm proud to be helping PETA raise awareness of how to help these animals – all you have to do is not wear them!'.
