TikToker gets a tattoo in every country she visits

An adventurer has shared the unique way she collects mementoes from all the places she has visited – by getting a tattoo in every new country. Victoria Rose, from Pennsylvania, US, has spent months travelling the globe, adding to her body art as she goes. But the Cyberpunk fan gets little choice over the ink – as she often gives local tattoo artists “free reign” over the designs, according to the Daily Star.

Nonetheless, the globe-trotter loves her tattoos and enjoys the decorations – even though most don’t have meanings. “I always like the newer ones cause they are new, but of course, I’ve gotten some tattoos from scratchers that aren’t as good but it’s all a part of the journey so I don’t hate any of my tattoos,” Victoria revealed.

And she’s certainly got an impressive collection, as she has tattoos from all over the USA, Ireland, England, Colombia, Peru, Mexico, South Korea, Germany and Egypt.

The American shows off her tattoos in a series of travel videos on TikTok, where fans love to check out her latest additions.

Recent videos show the adventurer strolling through the streets of Seoul, South Korea.

There she commissioned a colourful dragon for her left leg – a tattoo she loves, though she had to cling to a cushion while being inked to endure the pain.

“The shin and fine lines hurt, this is one of my most painful but worth it. It’s so beautiful,” the tattoo-lover told viewers.

Victoria also has a red snake inking that she got when she was in Peru, a green gecko tattoo from Colombia and a tiny monkey on her hand from Mexico City.

Despite getting so many tattoos abroad, Victoria revealed her most painful tattoo wasn’t actually from her travels.

She also added that a finger tattoos or those with finer details often prove most painful.

But don’t ask her how many she has collected, as she might struggle to answer.

“I’ve lost count of how many tattoos I have,” Victoria admitted.
