At a young age she had dreams of having her body filled with tiger stripes but didn’t know how, at the age of 13 she was living in Japan and understood how she could manage to do so, but it wasn’t till she was 18 that she started her transformation, having had already 160 tattoo artist work on her body, even once 23 at the same time! At that specific occasion the pain was so intense that she fainted a couple of times!

For fourteen years she had genuine tiger whiskers that were sent from zoos from all over the word, but it as they were messing with her eyesight she had them removed and had them scratched permanently to her face, using the process of scarification
