MEET: Isobel Varley: The World's Most Tattooed Woman
Isobel Varley (born 1937, Yorkshire, United Kingdom) is a World Records-recognized tattooed senior.She was first named
"the world's most-tattooed senior woman" in 2000.
Varley got her
first tattoo in her late 40s at a tattoo convention at the Hammersmith Palais. According
to Guinness over a ten-year period, Varley had over 200 designs inked, covering
at least 76% of her body in tattoos. She reports that "the only areas not
completely tattooed is my face, the soles of my feet my ears and some area on
my hands."
Tattoos, once the ultimate rebel stamp, have become popular
and widespread adornments in recent times.
Yet many eager young devotees have pondered, on their way to
the tattoo parlor, how they will feel about their inkings once they reach old
age.
One in five U.S. adults now have at least one tattoo,
compared to just 16 per cent of the population in 2003, according to the Harris
Institute of Research.
For the first time in recorded history, women are slightly
more likely to have them than men - and twice as likely to later have them
removed - but overall, 86 per cent of those questioned have 'never regretted'
their tattoos.
