Today, I'm covering up my tattoos
0:03
I personally think everyone will see me without the tattoos and be like, okay, put them back on
0:11
My boyfriend has never seen me without tattoos, and I think he's going to hate it
0:17
I'm just a little more nervous about it because, like, I mean, it's one of the first things, like, attracted me to her
0:24
It looks cool. Oh, amazing. Oh, my God, I'm scared. I think I know what I'm gonna look like, but I don't know for sure
0:37
Wow! Wow! It's crazy, right? Yeah! Are you nervous about it
0:48
I'm scared. Okay, I'm low-key- You know what? It's your face. You're scared of my face
0:53
Yeah, because I love your face. You know, like, I'm used to looking at all this. I'm scared that you're gonna like it
0:57
No, because people say that my face looks dirty with all my tattoos
1:02
I feel like I'll clean it up and you're gonna be like, she's gross
1:09
Vampiro is my boyfriend. He's a tattoo artist and we've been together for about a year
1:15
Vampiro has never seen me without tattoos. 90% of my body is covered in tattoos
1:22
I probably have around $30,000 worth of work. I usually let the artist pick the tattoo or completely design it
1:31
I would just show up and be like, what do you want to do? All right, it's time for you to get out of here
1:38
Skedaddle, get yourself out faster. Get out of here. We've got a lot to do
1:44
I would describe my style as more of like a 90s alternative Bratz doll
1:53
Hi, ladies. Hi. Hi, thanks for coming. I'm Tyler. I'm Alexis. Nice to meet you
1:58
Nice to meet you. I'm so nice. Hi, I'm Tyler. Thanks for coming
2:02
So I definitely get a lot of people that say I would look a lot better without tattoos The most common comment I see is you were so beautiful until you ruined yourself with tattoos I don think people realize how contradicting that comment is
2:15
because you're still telling me I'm beautiful, which is all I'm hearing
2:20
Is it close? Okay, good. I decided to do this transformation today
2:25
because I really want to show people that I did not ruin my beauty with my tattoos
2:30
I personally think everyone will see me without the tattoos and be like
2:36
Okay, put them back on I think She's going to look amazing. She's already beautiful as it is. She's gonna look hot. Yeah, we're gonna love it
2:46
Yeah, we're very excited about this Yeah, and then we'll take another one without the tattoos. Okay, scary
3:00
Is this the color correcting? Yes. Oh, yeah. So what's your favorite tattoo
3:17
I really love my new tattoo on my face. The one that's on my cheek that says Angel
3:22
Yes. I love that one. I just got it like two weeks ago
3:26
I definitely always thought about getting a tattoo when I was younger
3:31
but I never imagined that I would have this many. Also, it's been like 12 years since I've seen myself without tattoos
3:38
but even just the first few I got were so little and not that big of a deal
3:44
So I was raised in the Mormon church, which it wasn't as crazy as I think everyone pictures right off the bat
3:53
but it was very conservative and more strict valued. So I wasn't allowed to do a lot of things that I wanted to do growing up
4:03
I wasn't allowed to express myself in a lot of ways, such as clothes I wanted to wear
4:09
Modesty was more of a thing So as I got older I wanted to be able to do whatever I wanted to do and wear whatever I wanted to wear and look however I wanted to look What other assumptions are there that you face from people
4:24
The biggest one I get is that people think I party a lot. I don't drink at all
4:30
I'm such a boring person. If I'm not working, I just want to watch 90 Day Fiance or something
4:38
It's covering. It looks cool. Amazing. Oh my god, I'm scared. I am so mind blown right now
4:47
Like, I don't know, I guess I feel like, like, watching it happen is like, I feel like I'm like, I look like a human
4:54
I want to know, like, what goes through your head, you know? Yeah
4:59
Like, it's interesting to get someone else's perspective. put stickers on your phone or stickers on your favorite notebooks or like if
5:08
people say like oh it's like putting a bumper sticker on a bit.ly. It's like well if it's a cool enough sticker I'm gonna slap it on there
5:16
Why not? Let's just go ahead and stand up
5:32
Turn this way for me. And then we're going to do her collarbones and her shoulders
5:40
With a glow. OK. I think we're good. I think we're good too. Mm-hmm. Scary
5:51
I feel very nervous. I'm very excited. I think I know what I'm going to look like
5:58
but I don't know for sure. So I'm scared. I'm excited. Okay, here we go
6:06
Ew! Oh my God! You love it? Oh my God, it's scary
6:16
Barbie legs! I know, I look like a Barbie. I didn think I was gonna like it but I like it Oh my God it feels so crazy Look at you Thank you I would hug you both but I I know you got awesome makeup on
6:30
I love you. Don't worry. Oh my God, I'm freaking out. You gotta do my makeup every day
6:38
Now I feel like people are gonna be like, oh, we like you better than that. I look crazy
6:49
I am super nervous about showing Vampiro my new look. I think he's gonna love it now that I saw it
6:59
but I'm nervous. You ready? Mm-hmm. Where you at? Wow
7:12
Wow! It's crazy, right? Yeah! Come here. No, you can't touch me
7:18
I'm not gonna tell you, that's the hard part. It's crazy, right? Wow
7:22
You're beautiful, baby. Thank you. How do you feel? I didn't think I was gonna look like this
7:28
I thought in my head, I was like, oh, I think I know exactly what I'm gonna look like
7:32
And then when they pulled that thing off the mirror, I was like, ah! No, it's not
7:37
It's not. At first I was like, oh, he's gonna hate it. But now I saw it and I was like, oh, he's gonna love it
7:43
I miss the tattoos, I do. I so miss them, but I think she's beautiful
7:48
I guess I don't hate myself as much as I thought I did without them
7:54
I feel like I'm not just beautiful because of my tattoos and I think I was feeling that
7:59
way a little bit. I would say to the people on social media that think I look better without tattoos, I
8:04
think you guys are freaking crazy. I see it. I do look beautiful without the tattoos, but I look way hotter than those
