I'm like tattooed Jessica Rabbit
0:03
Walking around on the street, people stare, people tut. My husband hasn't seen me that tattoo since forever
0:11
so I want to kind of scare him and make him think who is that, who am I married to
0:15
Come on, let's have a look. Hey! Oh my God! Oh my God
0:24
Jordan, do you still pass, yeah? Hi, I'm Shelley, I'm your makeup artist
0:33
Hiya, I'm Alicia, come in. My name's Alicia and I have 90% of my body tattooed
0:38
Yeah, 90%. My style, I would say that I'm a inked up Daphne from Scooby-Doo
0:44
but I think I have a bit more bite, I don't know. I don't need Fred to tell me who I am
0:50
It started since I was 14 and I bought my first kit online and it's sort of been just snowballing from there
0:55
How long have I spent in the chair being tattooed? Oh my God. I would say like 100 hours plus, more
1:02
I can't even, I've lost count. It's just whenever I get free a minute. Tattoos are a huge part of me and my identity
1:08
and I genuinely don't know how I'm going to feel if I don't have them. Today, I decided to do this transformation
1:13
because I wanted to see if I regret any of my tattoos and maybe if I regret my face tattoo
1:19
I am nervous and I don't know why, which is really weird. I'm thinking maybe it's because I'm a bit worried
1:24
that maybe my friends and husband might prefer me without. I don't know. Want to take a seat for me? Yeah
1:30
We're gonna take off your base makeup first. It's okay, show the forehead off
1:37
So I started off with the Kiehl's Ultra Facial Cream. This is gonna give a beautiful hydration to the skin
1:42
and help all the products melt seamlessly to give it a flawless finish
1:46
I've wanted tats since I was seven and I've always known that I'd love to be covered. My first was a little ghost on my leg
1:51
He's there, you can just see him poking out. I bought my own tattooing kit at about 14
1:57
with some pocket money because I didn't have a job. And I went upstairs to my room at night when everyone was in bed and I sticking poked my legs arms sternum Yeah it not much to practise so I knew they be covered someday My end goal is to be fully tattooed pretty much
2:14
So a whole body suit, apart from my eyeballs and my head, because I don't want to shave my head
2:18
Yeah, everywhere. So now we're going to start the process of covering up your tattoos. Okay
2:23
Are you ready? It's very exciting. Oh my God, it's cold. I'm sorry
2:27
Mac face and body in order to give a sheer veil all over the skin to help all the makeup blend in unison
2:36
So what made you decide to do this transformation today? If I'm honest, I can't really remember
2:41
what I look like without face tattoos. So we've just now evened out the base
2:45
and now we're gonna go in with the color correction. So does your husband have any tattoos
2:49
He's got like his whole face, neck, chest. I met my husband in his tattoo studio
2:55
which now we co-own together, which is really cool. Before we were together, I said to him
2:59
that I wanted a bodysuit and he said, well, I want to start a big project
3:03
and I want to do a bodysuit and it'll be free if you sort of let me have free reign of the design
3:07
I wanted more floral design. I wanted to be a bit more feminine
3:11
That's when we came up with the oil spill effect with some paint strips to make it look a bit darker
3:15
and then the flowers to kind of keep with the florally feminin-ness. The story about how I tattooed my face
3:20
is we went into tattooing my arm. I was laying on the bed and he's getting his machine ready
3:25
and he goes, let's just do your face. and I was like, okay, yeah, no worry about it
3:29
Let's just get on with it. Next I went in with the Made by Mitchell Curve case
3:34
in a color correcting shade and I mixed two shades together in order to neutralize the really dark areas of the tattoo
3:40
I then used the MAC Prep and Prime translucent powder to add a sheer layer of powder to lock in the color corrector
3:47
Do you get like much hate? Walking around on the street, people stare, people tut
3:52
I've had an old lady called me a stupid . I've been followed around shopping
3:57
because people think I'm a thief for some reason, that I'm gonna steal something. I get loads telling me I ruin my face, that I'm ugly
4:03
You're never gonna find a man. And it's like one, I don't need to find a man. And two, I do have a man
4:08
So now that all the coverage is done and we covered your tattoos we gonna lock it in place and I gonna use the L Invaluable Setting Spray I have loads basically telling me that I never going to get a job My best it actually happened the other day and I took my stepdaughter to a play centre with my husband
4:22
and this little girl comes up to me and she goes, what have you done to your face? And I just burst out laughing because kids are too innocent, it was adorable
4:28
Now that we've got them covered up all the tattoos, we're going to do a simple glam on the face now
4:33
So who are you revealing your look to today? I'm revealing my look to my husband today
4:37
and my friend Casey and two other friends, Carlos and Tashiana. How do you think your husband will react
4:45
I don't think he's going to be very shocked. I think he's going to be like, ew, I don't know
4:49
Get this woman away from me. Where's my wife gone? How are you feeling right now
4:53
I don't know. I feel a bit nervous. A bit like, oh my God, what am I going to see in the mirror? Okay
4:58
Three, two, one. Oh my God. Ew. Oh my god, I look nothing like myself
5:08
Oh my goodness, isn't it so insane? I literally don't know how to feel
5:13
Oh my god. I look normal. I look like normal Daphne now
5:19
I really like the jumpsuit though. I can really suit you. You're a glam girlie
5:24
I really am. I just, yeah, I definitely prefer myself with tattoos. Yeah. 100%. 100%
5:32
I think it's been so long as well. Yeah. Oh my god, I look like I'm like 16 again
5:38
How are you feeling right now? Thankful, I'm tattooed if I'm honest
5:42
I'm really thankful. So no regrets? No, not one regret, no, not at all
5:47
So how do you think your husband is gonna react to seeing this? I think he's gonna be like, no that's disgusting
5:51
Like who, no that's not what we're expecting. Yeah, he'll be like you're a lot like some normal lady now
5:58
Come on, come on, let's have a look. Lisa, where are you
6:10
Oh my days! What? That's disgusting. It horrible It horrible I told you I hate myself Wait no It wrong isn it It so wrong Okay don get me wrong It getting bad
6:26
No, it's not. Look at the shoes. It's just not. It's not me
6:31
It's not you. Oh, my gosh. Are you still in love with me
6:38
No. Look too young again. It's this weird, isn't it? Oh, she's older
6:44
Is it older? I think I'm like my mum. Yeah. It's this, it's... Yeah
6:48
I'm like, no, where's the neck? No. Where's the face? Yeah. That's crazy
6:54
Not a 10 out of 10? No. I'm not a hair. Yeah. Six
7:01
Six and a half. Yeah, just so normal. I think you've lost like, ooh, like jawline, everything
7:09
Like, the cheeks. What? No. You're like, just flat. Oh, sorry. No, you're like flat again, just flat. Okay
7:18
You know what I mean? Humbling. Because we work the tattoos around the body shape
7:22
Yeah, okay. Jordan, do you still fancy that? This is your right
7:28
Yeah, it's a tricky one. Ooh. So, no, not at all. Like, if this was it, it's like looking at Casey
7:36
Like, this is what it does to me. Like, you're just so normal
7:41
So you would love me then? No. It's fading as we're talking
7:46
Everyone was roasting me like it was some roast battle, which I'm kind of moody about, but whatever
7:51
But honestly, I do agree with their reactions. I'm offended by Johnny's reaction, really
7:56
Might get a divorce after this. No joking. I think that, yeah, he's overreacting
8:01
but he still loves me deep down. This experience has taught me that I am thankful for my tattoos
8:07
that I do not regret any of them at all. And, yeah, I'm very thankful that Johnny did tattoo me
