Maria José Cristerna, a Mexican woman known as the “Vampire Woman,” has been making headlines for her extensive collection of tattoos and bodily alterations. With 50 physical changes, including implants, piercings, and tattoos covering almost her entire body, Cristerna holds the Guinness World Record for the most bodily alterations.
Cristerna’s journey began at the age of 14, when she got her first tattoo. Since then, she has dedicated her life to self-expression through art. Her physical changes are not just a form of self-expression but also a symbol of her bravery and liberation from an abusive past.
However, Cristerna wants to caution young people who are considering similar drastic alterations. “You have to think about it a lot, as it is irreversible,” she advises. Cristerna emphasizes the importance of being absolutely confident in your decision, as you will have to live with the consequences for the rest of your life.
Despite her warning, Cristerna is still getting inked. She recently posted a picture of her latest tattoo on Instagram, showcasing an artist working on her back at a tattoo shop. Cristerna’s dedication to her art is unwavering, and she continues to inspire others with her unique form of self-expression.
Cristerna’s story serves as a reminder that self-expression is a powerful tool, but it should be approached with caution and careful consideration. As Cristerna so eloquently puts it, “You have to think about it very hard in order to love it and be able to defend it your whole life.”
