Ink up! Meet the world’s most tattooed woman
Posted by: | CommentsInk-redible Julia Gnuse got her first tattoo to cover up an unpleasant skin condition on her legs.
But she carried on until she covered her entire body and has been handed a Guinness World Record for having the most tattoos.
Julia – nicknamed the Illustrated Lady – has drawings over 95 per cent of her body.
The pictures range from jungle scenes and cartoons to the cast of Bewitched on her buttocks.
And she is covered in them from her stomach and back to her arms and face after getting hooked.
Her whole body is the work of one tattoo artist.

Rainbow Roses Are for Real
Posted by: | CommentsI know they look ‘photoshopped’ but these amazing flowers are the real thing, and can be bought at some select flower-shops around the world.
Invented by Peter van der Werken, the owner of a flower company close to Den Bosch, Holland, rainbow roses look like they’ve been seriously modified in programs like Adobe Photoshop. But, they are actually the result of careful flower engineering. Dye is inserted into the stem of the rose as it’s growing, and the petals simply absorb it. Sounds easy enough, but it’s a very difficult process.
Sadly, you can’t buy rainbow rose bushes, only cut, or dried flowers. And even those come at a price meant to keep most of us away. Five cut rainbow roses sell for $55 and two dozens cost up to $325. But it you’re going to spend a small fortune on a flower, why not buy a freeze-dried rainbow rose that will last for years.
Rainbow Roses are special, but I for one like the common kind better. I guess I’m old fashioned.
