Army Veteran Becomes World’s Most Tattooed Woman, Plans More

You may or may not know this, but serving in the military means not having tattoos that can be easily seen while wearing a uniform. But for those who have left the military…they can get as creative as they like. And that’s exactly what 36-year-old army veteran Esperance Fuerzina has done. 

Fuerzina, an army veteran from Bridgeport, Connecticut, has been officially declared the most tattooed woman ever – with more than 99.98% of her body already tattooed. And if you thought that was a little much…Fuerzina doesn’t agree. Because she’s planning on getting more tattoos!

According to news reports, Fuerzina got her first tattoo at age 21 – and what started with just a handful of easily-concealed tattoos has become a full-blown obsession. Photographs of the veteran, which you can see here, reveal how she has so many tattoos that they all appear to merge into one. Fuerzina has tattoos on her feet, on her tongue, and even on her eyeballs and eyelids…if you can imagine such a thing. 

And it’s not just tattoos, either. Fuerzina also holds the Guinness World Record for the most body modifications for a single female, which include a tongue split, five implants in her face, and piercings on her face, eats, nipples, and…labia. Yes, labia. 

Guinness World Records published a video showing the amazing range of body modifications that Fuerzina has embraced. With dark eyes and green tattoo faces, she looks like an alien – and that’s exactly what she wants.

“As featured in the new #GWR2025 book, Esperance Lumineska Fuerzina (USA) is now officially the woman with the most tattoos and most body modifications in history,” the Guinness World Records X page wrote on August 22. 

Fuerzina beat Maria Jose Cristerna who held the previous record for more than a decade – and it wasn’t even close. In fact, Fuerzina’s 89 body modifications means that she beats Cristerna by more than 40 modifications. 

It’s a bit much…right?
