A tattoo-obsessed woman has spent nearly £20,000 – on covering herself in ink from head to toe.
Julia Nuno, 32, got her first piece when she was 18, but in the last three years, has dedicated a total of 234 hours getting a full body suit. Think morph suit but a lot more expensive, time consuming and painful.
The residential carer, from California, US, has splurged £19,530 ($25,930) so far, covering every inch of her skin from the soles of her feet to the top of her head.
Despite concerns from her family, the ink-addict even had her genital area tattooed earlier this month in Texas, and has plans to get her face – the last remaining untouched space – covered in geometric flowers.
Julia said: “It’s taken me quite a while, I started getting tattooed as soon as I was old enough. Collecting them came a bit for me, it’s only over the last few years that I have been going constantly.
“I started out small with a hibiscus flower on my chest but it just ended up growing. I had no intention of collecting or getting a suit but somewhere down the line I just decided to go all the way. Now I can’t stop.”
The tat lover admits it’s the sessions and process of getting the work done that keeps her going back, adding she usually lets the artist choose the design.
