Trolls target woman with David Bowie lyrics tattooed on her forehead - she says she has 'no regrets'

Britain’s most tattooed woman has hit back at a comments she receives from online trolls. Becky Holt says she is constantly being told her body art will look bad when she grows old – but 'will never wake up and think this is a mistake'.

The 34-year-old, from Poynton, Cheshire, used an ageing filter on some selfies to show what she’ll look like as a pensioner. She captioned the images: "You’re guna regret those tattoos when you’re 60."

“Probably my most common comment or question… don’t you think you’ll regret tattooing your face? Don’t you think you’ll look stupid when you’re older. The answer is no.”

Becky continued: “I’ve spent my whole life wanting to be completely covered in tattoos. It’s taken me 15 years to create this beautiful suit of artwork. I will never wake up and think I’ve made a mistake.

“I’ve achieved so much from being me and following my dreams… why would I ever think I made the wrong choice with something so sacred to me. Tattoos are my world and I love my skin.”

The body modification fan’s post garnered more than 4,500 likes and plenty of positive comments. One responder wrote: “I think you look ACE and I love that you don’t care about all the stupid opinions.”

Another said: “Gorgeous girl. Live your life and no one else’s.” A third remarked: “You are absolutely beautiful and who gives a s*** what anyone else thinks.

And a fourth added: “So sick and tired of people having an opinion on something that has zero to do with them nor will it remotely intervene with their life in any way whatsoever. Pet hate in life! Keep doing YOU!!”

Becky got her first ever tattoo aged 15. It was a tribute to her boyfriend inked across her intimate area – and they broke up six months later. She got the design covered up and was soon hooked on body art, the Daily Star reports.

The model went on to plaster her skin with tattoos – including geometric designs across her chest. Her favourite piece is the David Bowie lyric 'We can be heroes' on her forehead and she also boasts colourful tatts all across her legs.

Her appearance has also been enhanced with surgery since the age of 20, from implants to a rhinoplasty.
