Biography

Forced creativity
They say that the girl's addiction to tattoos arose due to the fact that she wanted to cover the scars that formed from the blisters in this way. Julia's skin condition was caused by a disease called porphyria. This is a genetic disorder of pigment metabolism, in which the content of porphyrins increases in the affected person's body.
Because of this, the woman could not be in the sun. After all, it was under their influence that blisters appeared on the skin. Therefore, the girl began to hide the scars formed after the swelling under the tattoos.
The disease forced the girl to turn into a walking picture over time.
