Tattoos are just one of many ways to express one’s individuality. While some people go with a little tattoo, others go all out, decorating entire body parts.

Tristan Weigelt, a 26-year-old tattoo apprentice covered in extreme body art, made headlines after showing what he looked like prior to using his body as a canvas.

The before photos were astounding.

Keep reading to see the pictures.

Weigelt’s journey to covering 95 percent of his body in tattoos began when he was 20.

“It’s kind of weird looking at myself without all the tattoos,” he told the Daily Star.

“But funnily enough I still feel exactly the same as before on the inside.”

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.

“It was six full day sessions taking between five and six hours and the pain was probably an eight out of 10.”

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, “Get 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 – then get it.”

Wow. What an incredible transformation!

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

Ingredients

• 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs.
• 8 cups of chicken broth.
• 2 cups. water.
• 2 medium carrots, peeled and cut into slices.
• 2 celery stalks, sliced.
• 1 medium onion, diced.

• bay leaf;
• 1 tsp. Dried thyme.
• 1 teaspoon of dried parsley.

• 2 cups of egg noodles.

How To Make Chicken Noodle Soup

Prepare the chicken first. If you are going to use chicken breast, then you have to cut it into small pieces. When using chicken thighs, you can leave them whole or cut them into smaller pieces, whichever works best for you.

Heat the oil in a large saucepan or Dutch oven and set the temperature to medium. After adding the chicken, continue to cook for about 5 minutes or until browned on both sides. Remove the chicken from the pan and put it in a separate place.

Put the chopped onion, minced garlic, diced carrots, and sliced celery in the same skillet you cooked the chicken in. Continue cooking for about five minutes or until the vegetables begin to soften.

After the chicken broth and water have been poured in, sprinkle with the dried bay leaf, dried thyme, and dried parsley, and season with salt and pepper. Mix everything, stir.

Bring the soup to a boil, then immediately reduce the heat and simmer for twenty minutes until the flavors come out.

While the soup is boiling, independently prepare the egg noodles, following the instructions on the box. Once cooked, rinse and set aside.

After the soup has simmered for twenty minutes, set the cooked chicken aside and return it to the pot. Simmer for another ten minutes or until chicken is completely cooked through and tender, whichever comes first.

After removing the bay leaf from the soup and discarding it, add the cooked egg noodles to the pot and stir into the broth to combine the two ingredients.

Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper if needed. Put this mouth-watering, piping hot Chicken Noodle Soup into plates and serve immediately.
