The Time it Takes for a Full-Body Blackout Tattoo

Tina Alexandra, a Spain-based fashion and logistics worker, spent 200 hours over seven months to get a "blackout" tattoo bodysuit, covering her entire body in striking black ink. Alexandra, who started her tattoo journey with a small gun tattoo on her hand, said her permanent bodysuit is an extension of her and an expression of who she is. Although she loves her look, she urges anyone thinking of doing blackout tattoo art to carefully think about the decision before going under the needle.
