A woman with more than 50 tattoos has told how her parents don’t approve and people stare at her in the street.
But 20-year-old Lucy Krasota doesn’t care and was dreaming of body mods when she was a child.
At the age of 10 she already had stretchers in her ears and colourful hair, and by 13, she was thinking about silicone breasts and tattoos on her eyelids and fingers.
When she finally turned 18, she rushed to get her first inking – a simple hand stamp – and it just made her want more and more.
“I followed it up with splitting my tongue, tattooing my face and getting breast implants,” Lucy, a content creator from Germany, told What’s The Jam.
“I often watched videos of people who have a split tongue and realised I really wanted that for my transformation.
“I didn’t think twice and got an appointment for the next month.”
Lucy now has over 50 tattoos as well as nine piercings.
She said: “I also have stretched earlobes and more tattoos to come.
“I want to be completely tattooed until there are no more vacancies.
“So far I have three modifications but there are more to come.
“I have the split tongue and my silicone breasts.
“I don’t want to reveal the third.”
However, her ever-changing look hasn’t come without opinions from family and friends.
She said: “My family had a very big problem with my change.
“There was a lot of discussion and argument.
“But I don’t care that people have a problem with it.
“The situation has calmed down.”
The body modifications also impact Lucy’s daily life, but she takes no notice and claims it helps her mentally.
She said: “I’m constantly stared at in public, but it’s usually not a problem.
“There are days when I really don’t want it, but I have to get through it.
“Alos, since my change I have received a lot of lovely compliments on the street.
“Only once has someone told me I was ugly.
“Changing my body helps a lot with my depression. It is the best therapy for me.”
To anyone considering similar body modifications, she said: “My advice is to think why you want it and is it the thing that will make you happy?
“You should only do it to please yourself and if you want to look badass!”
Lucy shares content with her 2,210 Instagram followers, posting revealing pics of her tattoos.
A recent black and white pose, simply captioned ‘Black’, has received over 6,000 views, hundreds of likes and plenty of comments from fans.
Morph said: “In a room full of art I’d still look at you.”
Someone else commented: “Turned out great, keep up the good work of art. I’m curious to see how it goes.”
Ed added: “Beautiful.”
