A NURSE who is covered head to toe in tattoos is completely unrecognisable from how she looked before.
Milana Pulliainen, 30, was once worried about how her body art would affect her job prospects but is now fully embracing it.
She works as a practical nurse in Pieksämäki, Finland and has eye-catching designs on her head, neck, body and hands.
Milana got her first tattoo at the young age of 17, but that turned out to be the catalyst for her to end up inked all over.
Despite being worried about her body art initially she doesn't mind what people think anymore.
She told the Daily Star: “I never thought I wanted many tattoos because I didn’t dare. At first I thought I wouldn’t get a job or people would start talking about me a lot.
“People stare a lot at my main tattoos. Here in town it is strange that a woman is bald.
“The tattoos on my head are a radical change.

“I wanted to cut my hair off and the tattoos fit perfectly on my bald head. They bring colour to my life.
Tattoos on the face also look beautiful to me.”
But the tattoo enthusiast did not always sport such a brazen look, with Milana sharing a snap of what she looked like before.
In the unrecognisable photo she sports a bright pink top with skin completely clear of ink and lengthy hair falling past her shoulders.
Milana is active on social media, often posting pics of her colourful tattoos on her Instagram page @mini.malisti.
She admitted that her parents weren't keen on her new look at first but eventually warmed to it.
“Mum and dad said at first that don’t take more but nowadays it’s okay for them.
“My big sister likes tattoos a lot and has always encouraged me. My friends like tattoos too."
Milana then outlined her plans for any future tattoos on her body despite space nearly becoming "full".
“I’ve had tattoos for so long that I’m getting full.
“I have time next month to finish my main tattoo. In April and May my buttocks will be completely tattooed.
"I hope I can set an example for others to look exactly what they want."
