Tattooed gran shares throwback snap from 10 years in the past – she appears to be like unrecognisable

A woman has taken “glam gran” to a whole new level as she shared a throwback snap from 10 years ago.

Kerstin Tristan has become an internet sensation thanks to her impressive collection of tattoos. She boasts nearly 190,000 followers on Instagram where she regularly shows off her ink.

But she wasn’t always the colourful canvas she is today. In a recent post, Kerstin shared a photo taken in 2014, when her body was completely devoid of tats. Fans said she looked like a different person in the pic, where she could be seen sporting jeans and a casual blazer.

Fast forward to the present day, and the 57-year-old German native’s style is much more daring. She frequently poses in lingerie and bikinis to showcase her unique look, and this most recent post was no exception, with the grandma dressed down in a bright blue bikini.

The transformation earned her plenty of praise from her followers who have loved following her journey over the last decade. One commented: “From mild to wild,” while another added: “A beautiful before a beautiful colourful one today.”

Others chimed in with compliments including: “You are an absolute goddess”, while another said: “Marvellous woman.”

As the saying goes, “If you’ve got it, flaunt it,” and Kerstin certainly isn’t shy about celebrating her colourful physique. Most of her body is now adorned with colourful tattoos.

It’s estimated she has spent about £25,000 on her body art. While she has very little skin left uninked, fans are still eager to know what design she’ll get next.

The only part of her body not currently adorned with tattoos is most of her face. However, followers are hoping she will keep getting more artwork to complete the look.

Some of her tats include peacock feathers on her legs and leopard print on her shoulders.
