Tattoos are not only for body aesthetics and expression.

Chelsea Rohrbrugh, 32, of Jane Lew, West Virginia, USA, continuously adds tattoos to her legs based on the suggestions of friends and followers. She designs each tattoo herself.

The series of TikTok videos of Rohrbrugh's tattoos has grown her followers to 99,000.

Currently, Rohrbrugh has 376 suggested tattoos plus personal ones on the upper half of her body, WOWK 13 News reported. A photo with the news article showed a variety of tattoos, including a "V" sign with the fingers, eating utensils, a black hand with a pearl bracelet, faces, etc.

The backs of her legs still showing skin can still fit about 150 tattoos before she's filled, according to the news outlet.

In another interview with Nexstar's WBOY, Rohrbrugh said wearing the tattoos makes her feel good because it's like she is carrying around other people's issues. Parents who have lost children, kids disowned by their parents because of their sexuality, and other kinds of people's pain find symbolism on Chelsea's body.

Rohrbrugh said that she's still open to suggestions and that the best way to reach out to her would be through her social media pages, WOWK 13 News reported.

Meanwhile, the arm tattoo of Hernando Maturan, 79, of Bacolod City, is a rare one.

A report by GMA One Western Visayas said Maturan's tattoo amused netizens after the tattoo artist posted it on social media.

Maturan said the tattoo gives him peace of mind should anything bad happen to him.

With the old man's permanent address tattooed on his arm, he said his family can be reached in case he figures in an accident.
