Julia Gnuse, commonly known by the nickname The Illustrated Lady born 1959, has 95% of her body (including her face) covered
in tattoos and holds the Guinness Record for being the most tattooed
woman in the world. Gnuse was born with porphyria, a condition in which
sunlight results in blistering of the skin. As the blisters often result
in scarring, she began getting tattoos as a way to cover up the scars. However, the tattoos do not prevent the skin from blistering as they are purely aesthetic.
She currently resides in Foothill Ranch, California.
