“Her Entire Body Is Covered In Tattoos From Head To Toe”: The 56-Year-Old Tattoo Lover Showed What She Looked Like Before Her Incredible Transformation!
German grandmother Kerstin Tristan, 56, recently stunned Instagram users with her dramatic transformation. Known online as the “tattooed grandmother,” Kerstin has spent the past nine years—and around €30,000—covering her body in vibrant tattoos of flowers, butterflies, and leopard prints.
In a now-viral post, she shared a striking before-and-after collage dated November 5, 2014, and November 5, 2023. The first image shows her in modest clothing with no visible tattoos. Nine years later, she’s covered from forehead to torso in intricate ink and adorned with nose and ear piercings.
Kerstin’s Instagram showcases not only her tattoos but also her bold style—think dramatic makeup, false lashes, and ever-changing hairstyles. Her transformation has drawn widespread praise from followers who admire her confidence and colorful aesthetic.
She says her tattoo journey began during a difficult time in her life. “When I look in the mirror now, I see a beautiful meadow full of flowers to love,” she shared, reflecting on how body art has helped her rediscover beauty and self-worth.
