Watch: Connecticut woman's tattoos, body modifications break world records

Aug. 22 (UPI) -- A Connecticut woman earned two Guinness World Records by covering 99.98% of her body in tattoos and having 89 body modifications.

Esperance Lumineska Fuerzina, 36, of Bridgeport, was awarded the records for the most tattooed person (female) and the most body modifications (female),

Fuerzina has 40 more body modifications than the previous record-holder, Maria José Cristerna, who set the record with 49 body mods in 2012.

Fuerzina said she got her first tattoo, which has since been covered up, about 15 years ago, and her first body modification, a split tongue, 10 years ago.

Her body modifications include several body piercings, as well as tissue-stretching mods and tattoos on her eyeballs gums.

She said her journey is not yet complete.

"In terms of my body being covered, it is still hard to imagine a set ending," she said. "For many years, now, I've been moving towards more cohesiveness in my suit and that is still an aim of mine."
