Getting tattoos can be daunting as you may be worried about the pain, or what it'll look like in a few years, but when one woman embarked on her inking journey later in life, she decided to share a throwback picture of how much the tats had changed the way she looked - and many said she looked "hot".
In 10 years, Kerstin Tristan has gone from being a bare-faced blonde to an alternative model who has covered herself head to toe in colourful tattoos - including a daring image of a butterfly on her face, and crystals inked on her bum.

Now she's covered head to toe in tattoos (tattoo_butterfly_flower/Instagram)On Instagram, the 57-year-old from Germany gave fans a look at how much the body art has changed her whole look since 2013. She captioned the post: "25.12.2013-25.12.2023", and used hashtags on Instagram such as 'tattoo idea' and 'tattoo style' to give others inspiration who were looking to get their first inking.
Her post received thousands of likes, with her receiving comments such as "you look amazing", and beautiful", with some commenters pointing out that she looks amazing with or without the tattoos. "Both pictures are hot", they gushed.
And this isn't the only throwback photo the influencer has treated her fans to online, as previously, she posted transformation pictures taken nine years apart.

"You are transformed by your tattoos to a different level of beauty. Fabulous. Obviously, your tattooed transformation is the best version of you", a fan of hers praised.
"You look more beautiful by the hour", another said, saying that they preferred her new look over the more clean-cut one she used to rock.
Kerstin has spent countless hours getting her tattoos, and has splashed out around £25,000 on the colourful body art, including a corset-style tattoo, leopard print, and roses - and for this reason, she loves to show them off whenever possible, reports the Daily Star.
