Expensive habit…

If you thought you had a tattoo problem, you’re about to be shown TF up, as California woman Julia Nuno has spent about $25,000 (roughly $36,000 AUD) on tattoos, covering herself from head to toe in the permanent body art.

It all started with a simple flower when Julia was 18, but in the last three years, the now-32 year old has spent a crazy 234 hours to getting a full body suit.

Speaking on the commitment, Julia said “It’s taken me quite a while, I started getting tattooed as soon as I was old enough. Collecting them came a bit for me, it’s only over the last few years that I have been going constantly. I started out small with a hibiscus flower on my chest but it just ended up growing. I had no intention of collecting or getting a suit but somewhere down the line I just decided to go all the way. Now I can’t stop.”

It seems the overall reception to her appearance has been met positively, saying “The people I work with are very accepting and look past it but I think some of my family have problems with how many tattoos I have.

“They weren’t surprised when I shaved my head to have my head tattooed but my mum doesn’t like face tattoos so I know she won’t be a fan when I have that done, but I feel like I have to do it.

Interestingly, it has a bit of a double edged effect in the romantic sense, with Julia admitting that “It hasn’t made much of a difference in a romantic sense, some people are really into it and like me even more for my tattoos and others are put off but it’s what I want to do and it makes me happy, so I don’t worry too much about what other people think.”

Hell yeah, if it makes her happy then why TF not. Check out her extensive body art below.
