Weigeltā€™s journey to covering 95 percent of his body in tattoos began when he was 20.

ā€œItā€™s kind of weird looking at myself without all the tattoos,ā€ he told theĀ Daily Star.

ā€œBut funnily enough I still feel exactly the same as before on the inside.ā€

Out of all the tattoos, he said the most painful were the ones he got on his face and head, comparing it to being scraped with a metal brush.

ā€œIt was six full day sessions taking between five and six hours and the pain was probably an eight out of 10.ā€

While many people get a tattoo with a special meaning in mind, Weigelt said there are no hidden messages or meanings behind his body art.

After five years, Weigelt has spent $50,000 on tattoos.

For those considering a tattoo, Weigelt says, ā€œGet what you love and what makes sense to you. I see so many people worried about a certain tattoo fitting them or it not being their style. If you like it ā€“ then get it.ā€

Wow. What an incredible transformation!

Would you ever consider getting tattoos on your entire body? Iā€™m not sure I would.
