A mum-of-two with more than 400 tattoos and piercings has said she loves the way her body looks and thinks there's far too much "pressure" put on women to follow a specific "beauty standard".
Sarah Anthony Martin, 35, wants to encourage others to reject society's idea of beauty and do what makes them happy, after she began her body modification journey at the age of 10 when she got her ears pierced for the first time.
The mum, from Aalborg, Denmark, went on to have her navel pierced at 13, and got her first tattoo at 16 when she borrowed a friend's ID - as you have to be 18 to get a tattoo in Denmark.
Now, Sarah has had subdermal implants, stretched nostrils and lips, and scarification, and doesn't see herself stopping any time soon because her body modifications make her happy.

The professional body piercer describes herself as a walking "picture book" and says each of her tattoos and piercings tells a story - as she gets new work done every time something important happens in her life.
She said: "Body modifications have always been a fascination. We've been decorating ourselves forever, so I think it comes naturally. Everybody does some form of body modification, whether it's cutting your hair or wearing makeup.
"I got my ears pierced like everybody else when I was 10 or so, and I got my navel pierced when I was 13. In Denmark, legally you have to be 18 to get a tattoo, so I borrowed an older friend's ID and got my first tattoo when I was 16.
"I've now been body piercing for almost 20 years, and I've probably been pierced about 400 times. I get some piercings and enjoy them for a while, and then get a new idea and take them out.
"I've had my nostrils punched and stretched to almost 13mm, had my lip stretched, and I have six subdermal implants. I had more, but this is what I have just now."
Sarah insists that many of her modifications weren't as painful as people might assume, although she says one of the most uncomfortable procedures involved having scarification on her face.
And out of all of her tattoos and piercings, Sarah says her favourite is the implant on her left hand of a circular barbell, as it represents her "work and passion".
She added: "I love all my tattoos and piercings, but I'm really happy with the implant I have on my left hand. It's a circular barbell, made out of silicone, but it looks like piercing jewellery. It was one of the first things I had done that wasn't a tattoo or piercing.
"It symbolises my work and my passion, how I'm proud of my job. This is how I pay my bills and support my family. I was always told that you can't do that as a body piercer, so this implant symbolises all the things I love about what I do."
And the mum-of-two says her children - Sailor, nine, and Rebel, six - don't question their mum's appearance and they love hearing stories about the meanings behind her tattoos.
She explained: "My children think nothing of it. My appearance was the first thing they saw, so it's not something we discuss a lot. My water actually broke with Sailor in the piercing shop, so they've always been around this.
"My body's like a picture book, and my kids can point at something and ask me why or when I got that piercing or tattoo -and I can tell them the story behind it.
"They think it's weird when other people react to it. They ask me why people look at me or ask questions. It is weird to them because I'm just their mum."
Sarah also believes there's "huge pressure" placed on women to make sure they fit a certain beauty standard and says she wants to see more people rise up against the stereotypes.
She said: "As a woman, there's a huge pressure to look a certain way, and your worth is measured by how well you fit into a stereotype. If you don't fit, you're not considered good enough.
"Everybody has a body that they should be proud of. It's giving you so many experiences and carrying you through life. All the things that you experience are on your body in one way or another; it's why we all look different.
"I'm no less of a woman or a person because I don't fit into a certain beauty standard. I want to reach people with the message that they can get piercings and still have a career and a family and be a good person.
"There isn't something specific you need to do, but if you have the urge to change your appearance, what's holding you back? Other people aren't living your life or paying your bills. When you feel ready to show the world who you are, it's so important to do that."
