"I actually have loved tattoos since I was little,
I always knew I'd end up covered by them. I had
my first tattoo at the age of 14 thanks to the
authorisation of my parents. I think they knew any
resistance would not work on me so they
understood and supported me which made my
first experience with tattoos really comfortable.
After a few years, as I started to get recognised
on social media, a lot of tattoo parlours started to
offer me partnerships and so the quantity of
drawings on my body went up quickly!Ā At this point
I have approximately 44 tattoos but they don't
really have a meaning. The only two tattoos that
really have an obvious meaning are those of my
grandparents' birthdays on my hand and fingers.
All the other ones are more a reflection of who I
am, what I like and what is beautiful to me."
From debuting at Valentino to walking for
Giambattista Valli, Givenchy, Burberry and more;
the tatted beauty Dolly Baby is taking over the
fashion industry.
