She has forked out £25,000 on her colourful body art, which includes butterfly designs on her arms and flowers on her torso.

But this time a decade ago, the 56-year-old had no visible ink.

In a throwback photo taken in August 2013, Kerstin embraced a more natural look.

As she posed for a mirror selfie, she bared her tattoo-free skin in a blue strapless dress.

In a photo taken in August 2022, Kerstin looks world’s apart from her demure look.

She oozes confidence as she strikes a pose in pink lingerie and flaunts her extreme ink.

Kerstin’s mandala patterns, portraits and nature-themed designs are on full display.

She wears her long blonde locks down and has applied a pop of pink lipstick and long fluttery eyelashes.

On Instagram, fans have reacted to the glam gran’s transformation.

One wrote: “Love the comparison photos – you’re so beautiful.”

Another said: “Wow! Love the modern look.”

A third commented: “What a change.”

And a fourth added: “I love your tattoos! You are amazing.”
