Julia Gnuse, commonly known by the nickname The Illustrated Lady, holds the Guinness Record for being the most tattooed woman in the world, having coverage of 95% of her body (including her face).
Gnuse was born with porphyria, a condition in which sunlight results in blistering of the skin.
As the blisters often result in scarring, she began getting tattoos as a way to cover up the scars.
However, the tattoos do not prevent the skin from blistering as they are purely aesthetic.
