Tattoos are so personal to each and every one of us, and for many people, each little inking tells a story or has a reason behind it.
But when someone is heavily tattooed, we may become curious about what the person looked like before they boldly made their body a canvas.
Becky Holt, 34, has spent thousands of pounds getting 95% of her body tattooed, admitting that she's spent around £35,000 on inkings, with designs on her forehead, chest, arms, and legs.
However, she's recently taken to her Instagram page to show adoring fans what she would look like without the designs.
Becky, from Cheshire, showed her Instagram followers what she looked like without her body being adorned with tattoos, which cover many parts of her.
Using heavy make-up, she split her face and torso in two, covering one side up with foundation that totally banished any trace of ink.
She took to the social media platform in 2021 to say she looked "mad" without the tats, asking her fans "what do you prefer?"
People were quick to compliment her, saying that she looked great either way, with some dubbing her as a "natural beauty", but claiming the "tattoos just enhance that."
"No such thing as too many tattoos in my book", one fan gushed. "Beautiful women can only get better with a full body of tattoos. You are beautiful with or without them."
"You look good with either but more quirky with them", another pointed out.
"You're pretty both ways", someone else praised.
But Becky has shared that not everyone likes her tattoos, with some wrongly mistaking that she's involved with gangs thanks to the ink.
In an interview with GB News, Becky revealed: "My family and friends love my tattoos – they're all really proud of me and think they're amazing. I get quite a lot of backlash online. My followers think they're unreal but I get trolling.
"People tell me I've gone too far but it's my body. It's my life – I've made these choices. It doesn't bother me that you don't have tattoos, so why does it bother you that I do?"
