This Woman Regrets Her Giant Chest Tattoo

Lissani is a 25-year-old mother of one, who, at the age of 18, got a giant tattoo printed across her chest.

The colourful diamond with butterfly wings and an emblazoned crown, which sits on her cleavage, was inked as a rebellion to her strict Catholic upbringing, but she admits it no longer suits her lifestyle.

Speaking on the documentary Bodyshockers, she said: 'I was a wild child when I was a teenager but I'm far from that now.

'As soon as I turned 18, I wanted to do what I wanted, I smoked and took drugs. 

'I wanted to be different and stand out so I had the tattoo. At the time I thought it was really cool and was pleased everyone would be able to see it.'

But after getting married and having a son, now three, Lissani said she no longer loves the permanent reminder of her past

The tattoo is difficult for Lissani to conceal unless she wears a roll neck top and she often feels like she is being judged when people see it. 

She said: 'People must look at me and think I'm a crazy mum or a bad person.' 

As Lissani's son gets older, she intends to go back to university and then train to be a midwife, but she feels the tattoo could also hold her back in a nursing career.

She said: 'Can you imagine when I walk into the room to help deliver a baby and the first thing they see is my huge tattoo? 

'They will think I'm crazy. Midwives wear a V-neck uniform and it will show.'

Lissani appears on Bodyshockers to urge other young people to carefully consider whether they really want a tattoo and to remember that they will have to live with it forever.
