Meet the most tattooed woman in the world

What began as a bid to cover up a nasty skin condition has resulted in a
Guinness World Record for an American who has been named the most
tattooed woman in the world. Julia Gnuse also known as the ‘illustrated
lady’ has 95% of her body covered in ink, ranging from jungle scenes
and cartoons to her favorite actors.

Gnuse started getting tattoos after developing a rare
medical condition known as porphyria, which caused her skin to blister
when exposed to sunlight and left scars as deep as three-degree burn.
Miss Gnuse said there was medication available for her condition, but
taking it could have the side effect of possible blindness. Thus she
resorted to the body art — although the ink did not stop her skin from
blistering, it covered up the scars and allowed her to be exposed to the
sun.
