US Army Veteran Breaks World Record With 99.9% Body Covered With Tattoos and Forked Tongue

Esperance Lumineska Fuerzina, a retired American Army veteran, has achieved a remarkable feat by transforming almost her entire body into a canvas of art. She has been officially recognized by Guinness World Records as both the most tattooed woman and the individual with the most modified physique globally.

Over the past decade, Fuerzina, 36, from Bridgeport, USA, has undergone 89 significant body modifications, covering nearly 100% of her body with intricate tattoos and implants. Her modifications include tattooing her eyeballs and incorporating scale-like implants into her scalp. These dramatic changes reflect her personal theme of "turning darkness into beauty," turning her body into a living work of art.

Fuerzina’s tattoos extend to her hands, feet, scalp, and highly sensitive areas such as her tongue, gums, sclerae (the white outer layer of the eyeballs), and genitals. She expressed her surprise and honor at being featured in the Guinness World Records, saying, “I feel both honoured and surprised about joining the Guinness World Records family. I grew up admiring the Guinness World Records books and record holders as a child and I am blown away to be featured in one now. I am so grateful.”

Reflecting on her journey, Fuerzina admitted, “I was initially a little apprehensive, but I wanted to try to showcase the strength of women, and what's possible, by applying for the record myself.” Her military background, which includes a stint as a medical service officer, has played a significant role in her creative evolution. "The creative flow mostly came after the military, but perhaps the lack of it while in pushed me towards it!" she noted.

Fuerzina's story highlights a unique blend of personal expression and resilience, and her achievements continue to inspire many.
