A woman revealed what she looked like before she covered herself in ink – and some of her followers prefer what she looked like before.
Lina Lorenzen, originally from Germany but now living in California, has gained a loyal following thanks to her impressive tattoos.
But while there's hardly a spot on her body that isn't covered, this hasn’t always been the case.

She used to have a fresh-faced appearance and minimalistic style.
In throwback snaps, she opted for natural makeup, embraced her ginger curls and appeared to have a bohemian fashion sense.
But nowadays, Lina looks much different.
She's kept her red hair but switched everything else up – covering her torso and face in bold body art that cost £130,000.
The tattoo fan, who got her first ink aged 22, is also much more experimental with her style nowadays.
As well as revamping her appearance, Lina seems to have gained confidence.
She was bullied at school because of her shy personality.
The attacks didn’t stop there either – as she used to be spat on, teased and even threatened with death.
"Children can be really very cruel!" she told the German publication Bild.
"I've always been an outsider. The only difference: today I'm voluntarily! It's no longer important to me to please others or to fit into their norms."
Today, Lina has her own OnlyFans account and is a popular model for international tattoo magazines.
She has managed to build an incredible life for herself after suffering through years of relentless bullying.
But sadly, the body modification fan still has to put up with cruel comments.
While the majority of her followers leave supportive comments on her photos, there are still those who speak negatively about her tattoos.
“Why would such a beautiful woman want to do that to herself?” one person commented.
“You gave your soul to the devil. Jesus loves you and he wants that you repent from your sins and follow him. Bear your cross and follow him,” said another.
And a third added: “[I prefer] no tattoos because I find it more beautiful natural !!! You were a very beautiful natural woman! But everything is a matter of taste! Wish you all the love and peace for yourself so that you are satisfied.”
We're glad Lina doesn't take these insults to heart nowadays!
