Exclusive Tattooed Chicks Interview With Isobel Varley
|
You got your first tattoo aged 49, did you think that your love for them would go as far as it has?
I only expected to have the odd one or two tattoos but once started it was virtually impossible to stop. What initiated your interest in tattoos? When I went to my first tattoo convention I saw how beautiful they could be and I also saw that tattoos were acceptable for anybody, not just one group of people in society. |
Do you enjoy the process of getting tattooed?
I don't like the pain but the finished work is the carrot and the pain is soon forgotten.
What is the story behind the theme on your head?
I asked the tattooist to do something really different and I just left it to him and it was not until the work was quite advanced that I had any idea what the theme was.

What is it like being an icon for many tattooed women out there?
I am always happy to answer people's questions and I don't really think of myself as being any different a person to that which I was before I had tattoos. Have you encountered much negativity because of the way that you look? Not verbal but sometimes one can see that people don't approve. |

 |
Apart from tattoo's, what other interests do you have? This is virtually a full time activity. What are your future plans regrading tattoos and life in general? I get pleasure out of meeting like minded people and hence I enjoy going to tattoo conventions. |
|
Is there anybody over the years that has influenced you and made you into who you are today?
I don't think there has been any significant external influence. What does your friends and family think of your love of tattoos? Some people don't comment whilst others say that what I do with my body is up to me and they like to see what I have had done. |

|
What is it like being a Guinness World record Holder?
Never really think about it. Is there anything else you wish to say? There are various forms of body modification that people have and some I am not particularly keen on but I do not criticise them for having them. I never try to force my opinion on others about tattooing and I think that having a tattoo is a personal decision and should be thought about very carefully. |
