With 95% of her body covered in tattoos, Becky Holt always faces unsympathetic looks, is considered a thug, and is not welcomed in many places.

Becky Holt, 34, from Cheshire, said she has spent £35,000 on tattoos since she was 15 years old. The press and social networks gave her the nickname “the woman with the most tattoos in England”.

She is proud of her appearance but admits that not everyone likes it. Many times she received negative and rude feedback from around her.

“I was refused entry in many places, usually places abroad. The last time was in Turkey when I went to a bar with friends. The bar had many empty seats, but the staff said they were full.” , Holt said. Another time, when she went to Texas and New York (USA), she was also refused reception because she was afraid of being related to gangsters and thugs.



Besides, the 34-year-old woman also constantly receives malicious comments online. She said she didn’t understand why so many people were averse to her tattoo.

“I don’t feel uncomfortable when people around me don’t have tattoos, so why should they be bothered by my body art?”, Holt argued. Meanwhile, her family and friends are all proud and think the tattoos are amazing.

In 2022, Holt participates in a social experiment through a hidden camera television program. She covered all her tattoos and recorded the reactions of everyone around her. Surprisingly, she admitted that without seeing the tattoo, people were more willing to help her and more comfortable.

Still, Holt said she feels like a lady but has lost a bit of confidence. She thinks tattoos make her feel like she stands out from the crowd.

Many years ago, Holt affirmed that he would never get tattoos on his hands, neck or face. But once it was covered all over her body, the 34-year-old woman became obsessed with wanting to save more ink marks.

“I can’t count how many tattoos I have on my body, but they are all memorable experiences and I never intend to remove them,” she said.
