Tattoo addict inks 95 percent of his body, reveals what he looked like just 5 years ago
Tristan Weigelt, a 26-year-old tattoo enthusiast and apprentice, has dramatically transformed his appearance by covering 95 percent of his body with tattoos over the last five years. Weigelt, who embarked on this extensive body art journey when he was just 20, recently shared astonishing before photos, offering a stark contrast to his current ink-covered appearance. Despite the radical change, he feels internally unchanged.
Weigelt described the process as intense, with facial and head tattoos being the most painful, likening the sensation to being scraped with a metal brush. These particular tattoos required six full-day sessions, each lasting five to six hours, with pain levels reaching eight out of ten.
Interestingly, Weigelt notes that his tattoos don’t carry hidden messages or meanings; they are purely expressions of his individuality. Having spent $50,000 on his tattoos so far, he advises those interested in getting inked to choose designs that resonate personally, regardless of style concerns.
