That’s a Lot of Ink! See the most tattooed woman in the world

in beauty •  7 years ago 

Before her death in 2011, the most tattooed woman in the world was 57-year-old Cynthia Martell. At the time of her passing, she had 96% of her body covered in tattoos, making her the most tattooed person in history.

Brought to Europe from Polynesia in the early 19th century through naval routes, it was originally largely restricted to naval use, and was a male-only domain. By the later 20th century its use was more widespread and extended to female users. By the end of the 20th many stigmas of the tattoo culture had gone and it moved into the realm of being a fashion accessory for both men and women.

I personally don't have any tattoos and you?

And for a dessert let me show you the most pierced person in the world )

I don't have any tattoos. Sometimes when I see a tattoo which looks a bit amateurish, I can't help thinking "I wonder if they had that tattoo done in prison?" I know it's not usually the case, but you can't help thinking it now there are so many prison movies and serials, and a tattoo seems to be required.
