'I have 14 tattoos.... ': Lea Michele reveals her rebellious side but not her inkings as she poses for sexy new shoot

 Her Glee character may be a total goody-goody, but in real life Lea Michele has somewhat more of an edge.
In her recent shoot for Prestige Hong Kong magazine’s March edition, the 25-year-old actress proves to be more sultry than gleeful as she poses in a series of stunning gowns and a jewel-encrusted basque.
With an edgy black manicure and smoldering makeup, Michele looks like a good girl gone glam on the magazine's sexy cover.

In the interview with the publication Lea describes her looks as ‘unconventional beauty’ but her appearance is nothing short of exquisite as she models a figure hugging gown with a fitted wine-coloured bodice.
With her chocolate locks flowing around her shoulders, Lea also poses in a carp pond wearing a burlesque style play suit and reclining on a sofa in a medieval inspired ivory gown.
The New Years Eve star also reveals in the interview that she has a penchant for body ink, but did admit that she wasn’t a total bad girl and still liked her home comforts saying: 'I do have 14 tattoos, but I also do come home every single night and watch reality TV with my cat.'
