Many people express themselves by making changes to their bodies. This could be through cosmetic surgery, piercings, or tattoos.
Some of the people who decide to change their bodies by means of tattoos take things to the extreme. They may love the fact that they have ink and they like the way it looks, so they decide to consider their entire body to be a tapestry.
That is what 56-year-old Kerstin Tristan did when she transformed herself in a very interesting way. The grandmother from Germany spent some £25,000 to create the special look that is now her entire body.
It wasn’t just the looks of her body that were transformed, her mental state also evolved along with it. Rather than keeping it to herself, she decided to share it online and now has about 195,000 followers on Instagram.
Kerstin has a very deep connection with all of the body art she has accumulated. She speaks of it, saying: “When I look at myself in the mirror, I see a beautiful meadow full of flowers that one has to love.”
The funny thing is, she didn’t like tattoos about 10 years ago but she started on a journey of self-expression that allowed her to embrace the lifestyle and she has been empowered by it.
It’s easy to see the difference when you compare pictures of the grandmother 10 years ago and what you see today. Just keep in mind, that it isn’t always about what you see, it’s about what is going on under the surface as well.
We wish her many years of happiness.
