‘Most Tattooed Woman In The World’ With 99.8 Percent Of Body Covered Shares What She Looked Like Before

Esperance Fuerzina has earned two Guinness World Records thanks to her extraordinary appearance

Sometimes, you start by getting a tiny tattoo in a place that hardly anyone notices, and before you realize it, you find yourself being called the ‘most tattooed woman in the world.’

It’s hard to believe how much has changed over the past ten years or so for Esperance Fuerzina, right?

This adventure is really amazing, especially when you think about how Esperance, a former soldier from Connecticut, has an incredible 99.8 percent of her body covered in tattoos.

She’s turned her skin into a living, breathing canvas, with a central theme of ‘turning darkness into beauty’.

It feels like her whole body is like a diary, keeping track of every single moment and experience she has gone through in her life.

 

If you see her sporting a tattoo related to the Guinness World Records one day, don’t be shocked! She just set two new records.

Her decision to document her life through body art isn’t something that happened overnight.

It really comes from her experience in the military. Esperance learned to pack lightly, taking just what she needed.

She realized that it was way simpler to have her memories on her skin rather than dragging around photo frames and keepsakes.

Esperance was raised in a military family, so she had to move around a lot when she was a kid. She lived in different spots in the Southern United States and even spent three years in Japan.

“I have had a pretty nomadic life, and not much room in my [army] pack,” Esperance shared.

“I felt I could take this with me wherever I go. It’s just a small moment for something I can keep for life.”

Esperance now has tattoos all over her body, starting from the top of her head and going all the way down to the bottoms of her feet.

These tattoos aren’t just found in the typical spots; they also cover some really sensitive areas, like her eyelids, eyeballs, gums, tongue, and even her private parts.

The 36-year-old has an amazing 89 body modifications, which helped her set a second world record. How cool is that?

Esperance is now recognized as the woman with the most tattoos and the most body modifications in history.

Her transformation began back in 2014 when she made the bold decision to split her tongue in two.

That was only the start. After that, she really got creative with changes, making a bunch of big adjustments that totally transformed how she looks.

She currently has 15 implants under her skin and has made several changes to her face, like getting piercings in her septum and lips.

But Esperance didn’t stop there—far from it. She’s undergone some truly wild and, quite frankly, jaw-dropping modifications.

She had both of her nipples taken off, got ink injected into her split tongue, and did the same thing to her inner labia.

Just thinking about it makes you wince, doesn’t it?

Esperance mentioned, “It’s clear that I’m not following the usual beauty standards,” while discussing her one-of-a-kind and eye-catching look.

“That can be both liberating and also something many people don’t understand and can be negative about.”

Looking back at old photos of her, it’s almost impossible to recognize her.

Picture this: you come across a photo of a happy 17-year-old with long, dark hair, and then you look up to see the same person now as a woman covered in tattoos. It’s a bit mind-blowing, but that’s Esperance for you!

Esperance shared how her love for tattoos started, saying that she got her first one when she turned 21.

It started as a tiny symbol to honor her partner’s family. However, she later chose to hide it with a beautiful Phoenix tattoo.

That moment changed everything for her. She discovered that she liked bold and well-designed tattoos, and this understanding guided her to how she looks today.

“It is still hard to imagine a set ending,” Esperance continued.

I have been working for a long time to make my suit more unified, and that goal is still important to me. I believe that having a bigger and more connected look is the way to go.

Esperance has also learned to manage the pain of her tattoos and modifications through meditation.

It’s impressive, really, especially considering the sheer amount of work she’s had done.

And it’s a good thing she’s found a way to cope because she’s definitely not finished yet.

Being the most tattooed woman and having the most body modifications seems a bit wild, she said.

“I am grateful and excited for the future—and of course, I am not done!”

Just picture the tattoo artist she picks next. They’re going to have a blast working on that tiny bit of skin that’s still blank, right?

The journey isn’t over for Esperance Fuerzina, and who knows what incredible designs and modifications lie ahead for her.
