I'm Tattooing my Entire Body Black

Summary Tattoo artist Michela Bottin-Ackerman is 95% covered in tattoos - and about 75% of her body is coated in black ink. Besides that, she also has several body modifications such as a split tongue, pointed ears and tattooed eyeballs. The 32-year-old currently resides in New York, but is originally from a small town in Italy, where she got her first tattoo as a teenager. Michela started out with very colorful tattoos, which is what she now specializes in as a successful tattooist. But slowly Michela's cartoon and animal inspired body art made place for big patches of black ink. Having her skin blackened out has given Michela a lot of confidence, she explains that her addiction to this type of tattoo is because she felt uncomfortable being addressed as the "pretty girl" - wanting to erase the superficiality.
