Woman has covered herself in 100 self-drawn tattoos requested by strangers

A woman has covered herself in nearly 100 self-drawn tattoos at the request of strangers - and plans to keep going until she has no space left. Chelsea Rohrbough, 31, has tattooed herself with 96 designs resembling painful experiences or causes suggested to her by her followers.

The mum-of-two has had more than 7,000 requests for the inked designs and has a tat of a broken phone screen for those affected by online grooming. She documents the tattoos on TikTok and her followers leave comments on her videos with designs they'd like to see, such as the word 'love' surrounded by a fake bruise to symbolise domestic abuse.

She also tattooed a trans person's name on her body after they were disowned by their family and has a button for a victim of sex trafficking. Chelsea self-tattooed herself throughout 2022, but inked her first requested tat in November and now aims to do two a day until she runs out of space. She said she does it to try to "raise awareness" for what people request and give it the attention it "needs".
