Tristan Weigelt: The $54,000 tattoo transformation seeking love
Tristan Weigelt has undergone a surprising transformation over the years. The young man has tattooed most of his body, spending over $54,000. While he likes his new look, he laments having difficulties finding love.
Tristan Weigelt is originally from America but has settled permanently in Copenhagen, where he nurtures his passion for tattoos. He is a prime example of this passion, as intricate designs cover as much as 95 percent of his body. The entire tattooing process was supposed to take around 270 hours and cost over $54,000.

Weigelt proudly showcases his tattoos, enjoying significant popularity on social media. His Instagram profile is followed by over 67,000 people, and he has also gathered a substantial fanbase on TikTok, where he answers questions from internet users, not only about his numerous body artworks.
His distinctive appearance makes his friends in the city feel like they are on an outing with a celebrity. He claims that people mostly react positively to his tattoos. The comments left by his followers also attest to this.
Unfortunately, such an original look also has its downsides. For Tristan, this has meant difficulties in forming relationships with women, who are not always willing to meet someone with such an unusual appearance. He sometimes encounters unfriendly looks in everyday life, which can be tiring. However, he says that he does not pay attention to it.
A lot of people stare and are pretty fascinated. My friends now say that it’s almost like walking around with a celebrity - he confessed in an interview with Daily Star.
His parents are not fans of his new look either. They are extremely critical of his decision and cannot come to terms with it, even though many years have passed.
My parents hate it - he said directly.
Fortunately, Tristan can count on his fans, with whom he constantly interacts. See what he looked like before the transformation. Would you recognize him?
