Tattoos offer a unique way to showcase individuality. Some opt for small tattoos, while others fully adorn their body parts. Tristan Weigelt, a 26-year-old tattoo apprentice, gained attention for his extensive body art, revealing his appearance before transforming his body into a canvas.
Weigelt started getting tattoos when he turned 20, and now 95 percent of his body is covered in them. He mentioned that it feels strange to see himself without tattoos, but surprisingly, he still feels the same on the inside.
He mentioned that the tattoos on his face and head were the most painful. He described the pain as feeling like being scraped with a metal brush. He had six sessions lasting five to six hours each, with the pain level reaching an eight out of 10.
Weigelt mentioned that although many people get tattoos with meaningful intentions, his body art does not hold any secret messages or meanings. Over the course of five years, he has invested $50,000 in tattoos.
If you’re thinking about getting a tattoo, Weigelt advises, “Choose something you truly love and that has personal meaning to you. Many people stress about whether a tattoo will suit them or if it matches their style. But if you genuinely like it, go ahead and get it.”
That’s an amazing change!
I’m not sure if I would ever get tattoos all over my body.
