Ninety five percent of Gnuse’s body is covered in ink.

Her body art passion was inspired by a skin condition she suffers from called porphyria, a skin disorder similar to lupus where exposure to sunlight leaves the body scarred.  In a creative way to cover this up, she decided to have her whole body and face completely tattooed. Her tattoos include flowers, frogs, unicorns and even Hollywood celebrities like Lucille Ball and the Beatles.

Julia Gnuse has reported estimates that she spent over than $70,000 on her body art.   In the past, she worked as a courier and a cookie now she has developed a business making personal appearances.
