Grandmother reveals what she looked like before full body tattoos

Tattoos! You either love them or hate them. While many are convinced that tattoos are a unique form of self-expression, others find them unappealing and even terrifying.

Kerstin Tristan is a 56-year-old mother and grandmother who drastically changed her looks when she decided to spend all her life savings on inking her body — almost all of it.

The thing is, when we think of grandmothers, tattoos and other forms of body modification aren’t exactly the first things that come to mind — in fact, they might not come to mind at all.

But Kerstin isn’t your typical grandmother. She is a tattoo lover who doesn’t seem to stop getting them, at least not any time soon.

What’s interesting about this woman is that not only did she not have any tattoos until 2015, but she even hated them. However, everything changed when she got her first.

“I simply just wanted to try something new. We all live just once, and I thought that at my age, something real has to come,”  she revealed.

Ever since she got her first tattoo, Kerstin has spent over $30,000 on tattoos only.

Her looks is so captivating, that she has thousands of followers on TikTok and millions of views on her videos.

Some of her tattoos include roses on her legs, a leopard print tattoo on her shoulders, and several detailed portraits on her arms.

”When I look at myself in the mirror, I see a beautiful meadow full of flowers that one has to love,” she says.

Kerstin receives plenty of comments on the photos she shares of herself, with people calling her bold and unique.

“A beautiful work of art,” someone commented on a photo of her. “Wow stunning photo,” another added.

Recently, she shared a photo of herself before she fell in love with inking and the difference is stunning.

Allegedly, this grandmother once confessed that her decision to cover her body in tattoos was because she didn’t love her skin.
