Woman unrecognisable after spending £150k on tattoos to look like cyborg

A heavily-inked model spent a whopping £150,000 on tattoos and body modifications to transform herself into a real life 'cyborg'.

Lina Lorenzen, a tattoo artist and model from San Francisco, has turned herself into a living work of art with over 200 inkings covering more than 80% of her body. She's spent a fortune on her unique look, which include subdermal implants under her skin.

In a recent video, shared on her social media account @cigno.sg, the model was seen proudly flaunting her ink in a skimpy green bikini to her 110,000 followers, who who can't get enough of her cyborg-like appearance.

While she doesn't have mechanical parts in her body, her tattoos are inspired by biomechanical art. This is a surreal style that blends elements of machines with organics.

She said: "People refer to me as a cyborg because of heavily my modified appearance… I feel as if we are all already cyborgs – our phones and computers being our extensions."

Her look certainly divides opinion — but she has kept a positive attitude in the face of the hate. She added: "Some admire, some envy, some dislike, some judge, and some feel inspired to get tattooed themselves.

"I have literally thanked haters for spending their precious lifetime to write me a long condescending message. That's how you deal with haters you kill them with kindness."

The lady has horns on her forehead, thanks to two sub-dermal implants. And she has no plans to stop her transformation – aiming to cover even more of her body in ink.

She declared: "I am going to finish my back piece and then fill in the few spots I haven't covered yet. I don't set myself any limitations so we shall find out where my tattoo journey is going to take me.

"I understand that I am pushing the limits of what is understood as acceptable in society and I love inspiring people to be fully and unapologetically themselves by being my most free and authentic self."
