‘I’m a tattooed mannequin and at all times get requested similar query – here is your reply’
Here’s a little nudge to remember not to be too quick to judge.
Tattoos might stir up all sorts of opinions, but whether you’re keen on getting inked or prefer to stay clear, it’s not cool to throw shade at others for their choices.
Isabella Dorianu is no stranger to the tattoo game, with her body being a canvas from neck to ankle, and she’s fed up with the same old questions popping up on her socials. The inked beauty has made it crystal clear her body is her business, and rocking tattoos doesn’t mean she’s trouble.

On her Instagram handle @gymgamergirl, Isabella shared how she’s bombarded with queries about why her face is free of tattoos when the rest of her is a masterpiece of ink.
Kicking off her clip by asking the question “why no face tattoos?” she then flicks her hair back to reveal a couple of sneaky tats right on the edge of her face. On one side, there’s a celestial moon and stars combo, and on the other, an elaborate design that looks like the letter E.
Her video caption was straight to the point: “Always the same question about fAcEtATtoOs. please stop asking ! My face, my body, my decision! Tattoos don’t make me a bad person!”
The comments section lit up with support for Isabella, with fans insisting she’d look ace with any tattoo she fancied. One fan gushed: “Any tattoo she gets is always fire as f***.”
Another admirer commented: “Man what a beautiful goddess.” While another follower posted: “Looks great! Stay self-confident and have fun!”
Despite Isabella’s current confidence in her looks, she confessed that it wasn’t always this way. She used to grapple with acne and had “no friends”. Instead, she found comfort in video games, hitting the gym and expressing herself through body art.
She revealed: “Many have asked me ‘how did you look before?’ Here is the answer. I had a very bad time then and had nothing. As a girl, I had very bad acne, as well as no friends and was always excluded.”
Describing herself as a “model outside and nerd inside”, she admitted that she was in a dark place during her younger years. But instead of succumbing to loneliness, she chose to work on herself.
Today, she’s much more at ease with who she is.
“At some point, I thought I’d go under or fight and I decided to fight,” she explained, “I did cosmetics four times a week, started martial arts and changed in general.”
