Most Tattooed Woman Makes Guinness Book of Record (Photos)
Julia Gnuse also known as the 'illustrated
lady' has 95% of her body covered in ink, ranging from jungle scenes
and cartoons to her favorite actors.
Gnuse started getting tattoos after developing a rare
medical condition known as porphyria, which caused her skin to blister
when exposed to sunlight and left scars as deep as three-degree burn.
Miss Gnuse said there was medication available for her condition, but
taking it could have the side effect of possible blindness. Thus she
resorted to the body art -- although the ink did not stop her skin from
blistering, it covered up the scars and allowed her to be exposed to the
sun.
