I’m judged for tattooing my entire body but I don’t care – it’s taken me eight years and my bodysuit is a work of art
A TATTOOED model has revealed how she embarked on her journey into the alternative lifestyle at the age of 11.
Seven years later, the 26-year-old dove into head-to-toe tattoos and body modifications like inked eyes, a tongue split, stretched ears, piercings, silver teeth, and an array of implants.
"I've always been open to different ways of living and thinking," said Anuskatzz in an exclusive interview.
"I was in primary school when I saw someone with dreadlocks. I was so fascinated that I told my mum I wanted them too.
"She gave me a challenge: wait for two years, and if I still wanted them, I could get them.
"Well, I didn't forget. Finding someone who could create dreadlocks took me quite some time, but the wait was worth it.
"Now, I've had them for more than half my life, and I can't imagine parting with them.
"I also have a deep passion for art, and tattoos have become my way of wearing that art on my skin.
"I got my very first tattoo when I turned 18.
"Over the years, I have had various tattoos done, but ultimately, I always wanted a full-body suit.

"It took me a year and a half to complete and get all the puzzle pieces (in the form of individual tattoos I had done by different artists) to fit together.
"I had to have multiple sessions done."
She is now the co-founder of Dirty Dreaz - a platform she described as "psychedelic art for adults."
Embracing a unique appearance comes with its challenges.
Anuskatzz has learned to navigate judgment and stereotypes, but says people's reactions often reflect their inner selves.
"People judge no matter what. It's just in our nature. When I first got my dreadlocks, I encountered my fair share of judgmental stares and opinions.
"When I got my bodysuit, the same thing happened.
"However, these experiences have taught me a valuable lesson – that the judgments of others reveal more about their inner selves than they do about me.
"As tattoos have become increasingly trendy, the level of judgment has somewhat subsided, but it has not entirely disappeared.
"I still get hate but it doesn’t affect me. My husband supports my journey, and I also have lots of supporters online."
Anuskatzz's black and blue graffiti-style body suit was designed by her spouse, Lily Lu who created the abstract art tattoo style of
Lu, a non-binary individual whose entire body is a canvas of dark ink, also works as a filmmaker creating content for both YouTube and the adult industry.
While the pair have a unique relationship, they choose not to label it.
They believe in allowing their connection to evolve naturally, whether it be as friends, partners, or something else entirely.
"We don't put a name tag on our relationship," said Anuskatzz.
"I don't like all these stereotypes of names because as soon as you say you are polyamorous, you are limited again, and we don't want that.
"We want to grow with each other and see how we evolve."
She continued: "I first crossed paths with Lily before their transition.
"They reached out to me online after seeing some of my photoshoots, and since I already knew a few people who they had tattooed, I was intrigued by their message.
"Despite a few bumps along the way, they chose to stay by my side, becoming my life partner.
"We continue to share experiences that are truly unique and couldn't be replicated with anyone else."
Transitioning from their relationship to a shared aspect of their appearance, both Anuskatzz and Lily have embraced eye tattoos.
However, Anuskatzz issues a cautionary note with wisdom from her experience.
"Tattooing your eyeballs should never turn into a trend," she warned.
"It's like playing with your eyesight, and trust me, it can get risky if you're not well-informed about the procedure.
"I took my time deciding on this body modification, and luckily, I watched a bunch of procedures beforehand.
"It helped me know what to expect and made me feel confident that I was in good hands."
