Los Angeles - Miley Cyrus convinced her brother to get more tattoos minutes after he insisted he had "ruined" his body by covering it in inkings.
The 21-year-old star took to her Twitter account to cheer her sibling, Trace Cyrus up after he branded himself an "idiot" for getting so many "stupid tattoos" all over his body and discouraged his 623 000 Twitter followers from doing the same.
The Metro Station guitarist - who has inkings covering his whole torso and arms - wrote:
So sad I ruined my body with all these stupid tattoos ?????? I'm going to look so stupid when I'm old. I'm such an idiot. Don't get tattoos.

Miley soon came to the rescue by taking to Twitter to tell her brother he was talking nonsense and tempted him into getting even more tattoos.
She wrote:

The singer's powers of persuasion seemed to work as Trace had a change of heart about tattoos, admitting to his half-sister he was quite keen to add to his collection of inkings.
He wrote back:
