Kerstin Tristan is covered in ink that includes roses on her legs, a leopard print on her shoulders and other detailed portraits on her arms.
The 56-year-old's bold look - which also consists of geometric patterns on her feet and neck inkings - has proved a sensation by attracting over 195,000 Instagram followers.
Tristan, who hails from Germany, told Hooked on the Look: "When I look at myself in the mirror, I see a beautiful meadow full of flowers that one has to love."
Extraordinarily, she admitted that she "hated tattoos" before getting her first inking in 2015 because she no longer liked the appearance of her skin.
Tristan explained: "I simply just wanted to try something new. We all live just once and I thought that in my age something real has to come."
