Tristan Weigelt, a 25-year-old tattoo enthusiast, has spent nearly £40,000 and undergone 260 hours of tattooing to transform his appearance. Originally from America and now living in Copenhagen, he has covered 95% of his body in ink, excluding only a few areas. Inspired by Japanese tradition, his tattoos include an orange full-body suit and a dragon on his back. Despite facing judgment, especially from his parents, Tristan remains confident in his decision, emphasizing that his core identity remains unchanged.

Beyond his personal transformation, Tristan shares his tattoo journey on Instagram and hopes to inspire others. He acknowledges the physical and social challenges of extensive tattooing but views the process as one of self-discovery and healing. Now, he aims to help others embrace body art by encouraging them to choose tattoos that truly resonate with them. As he plans to complete his face tattoos, his story highlights changing societal perceptions and the growing acceptance of tattoos as a form of personal expression.
