The lady above is Julia Gnuse and she is also known as the Illustrated Lady. This American lady has 95% of her body covered with body art and has been given the title of most Tattooed Lady in the World by the Guinness Book of Records.
Actually there is a reason why she started to tattoo her body. It was because she suffered from porphyria, which causes blisters on the skin when it's exposed to sunlight. She had the illustrations tattooed on to cover the scars left by the blisters. After the first few tattoos she got hooked on them and started getting more and more.
Hmm ... would you want to have so many tattoos on your body?
