Gran who covered entire body in tattoos flaunts £25,000 body art in bikini

A gran splashed out £25,000 turning herself into a walking canvas.

Kerstin Tristan spent thousands of pounds and hours under the needle to cover herself in the intricate tattoos that sprawl across her skin.

So it's no surprise that she doesn't want to keep her colourful inkings covered up. In fact, the German model recently rocked a bikini to show just how gorgeous the body art is. On Instagram, she shared a picture of herself in orange swimwear.

The plunging neckline showed just how much of her skin is inked, with only a small portion of her face remaining bare. And as she kept her hair up, you could see the illustrations covering her neck.

Fans were left in awe at her jaw-dropping tattoos. People told Kerstin she looked "beautiful" in the snap – and some even went as far as confessing their love for her.

One person said: "I don't get tired of following you." Another added: "That orange goes great with all the colours. Beautiful."

A third replied: "Beautiful eyes. Beautiful legs. Perfectly kissable tattoos." Meanwhile, a fourth commented: "Wonderful. I love you."

The gran, 56, has an impressive fanbase of 184,000 people online. Many love following her tattoo journey – and she's undertaken a dramatic transformation over the last decade or so.

At the moment, the only part of her that's not covered in ink is most of her face. People hope she adds to her ink collection – and judging by how many times Kerstin goes under the needle, we don't think she'll disappoint!
