| Kayleigh Peach: 'I tattooed my face so I couldn't get a normal job' |
| 2019-03-08 |
| [BBC] Kayleigh Peach was so determined to become a successful tattoo artist that on her first day as an apprentice she got the word "cursed" etched over her eye. She thought her tattooed face would put off most employers and leave her no choice but to pursue her ambition. Now aged 26, with 60% of her body inked, Kayleigh, who is from Erdington in Birmingham, explains how her risk has so far paid off and how tattooing has changed her life. |

| #6 She’s a beautiful young woman, who apparently can and sometimes does cover up her tattoos with foundation and clothing, and has a side career modelling both with and without tattoos displayed. In her case, it seems to me she has taken an unusual path to being clean, sober, and self-supporting without doing harm to others. But very few could go down that path without serious damage, especially in Britain. Many of those who try will mostly ignore the fact that she gave up drinking and partying, replacing it with hard work and helping others. |

| #5 Well, the tats and her sparkling personality may have contributed. Seriously, if she didn't have the tats, "someone" would've forced her to be "normal"? |

| #2 Ah, well done! A moderately attractive woman who in normal times would have been tasked with something complex and difficult such as returning to the house unscathed. But instead has chosen the unique and oh so individual path of converting her body into an historic map of bad life decisions. Well played! |
