A BODY art enthusiast who waited until she was 48 to get her first tattoo has now covered almost her entire body with ink.
Adrianna Eisenbach, 53, said her ex-husband wasn’t crazy about tats, so she didn’t get started until they split up — and now she’s found a man less than half her age who is supportive of her ink obsession.
Adrianna, known as the queen of scandal on Instagram, has always been a fascinating figure in Poland's entertainment scene.
But it wasn't until she divorced her husband of 25 years that she fully embraced her passion for body art.
"I've always loved tattoos, but my ex didn't share the same enthusiasm for decorating my skin," Adrianna said.
She started out simple with permanent makeup, but was inspired while waiting at the tattoo parlor.
"My first tattoo was a permanent eyebrow and eyeliner combo," she recalled.
"I had this ongoing struggle with trying to draw precise lines on my eyelids, and it was just so annoying.
"While at the tattoo studio, I flipped through booklets filled with images of women with tattoos all over their bodies, and I instantly fell in love with the idea.
"The artist let me take a booklet home. I showed it to my husband, telling him how I also wanted to cover my body, but he was against the idea."

But her now ex-husband wasn't so supportive of her dreams.
"Throughout my marriage, I dedicated myself to caring for my husband and sons," Adrianna said.
"I managed daily chores like washing, cleaning, cooking, and baking cakes.
"As the kids grew up, I started itching for a chance to join the workforce and chase my own dreams.
"Having personally raised four wolves, I've always wanted to be a wolf trainer. However, my husband didn't want me working again.
"This created tension in our relationship, and things started going south for us."
After her divorce, at 48, the tattoo-obsessed woman decided to take the plunge and have body art done.
She soon covered herself from head to toe in ink, with intricate designs, patterns, and even a flower on her forehead and tats under her feet.
The whole process took her three years, and now 96.05% of her body is covered.
"I don't have a favorite tattoo; my tattoos tell the story of my life, and almost everyone has a special meaning for me," she said.
Recently, Adrianna exchanged vows with David Zlatan, a man who is more than 30 years her junior at 25 years old.
"Age is just a number," Adrianna said with a laugh.
"Besides, I've always been a fan of time travel, and David's my own Benjamin Button! He was born old, and now he is getting younger, and I am the other way around.
"I like dating a younger man because he is not ruined and mentally damaged by previous relationships."
Importantly, David is supportive of Adrianna's tattoos — and what she wants to do with them when she dies.
“After my death, I would really like someone to skin me, so it doesn't go to waste and stands as a piece of art," she said.
“I want my skin to hang on a wall one day, or be displayed in art galleries,” said Adrianna. “I want my tattoos to live on after I’ve died.”
Surprisingly, this isn’t an impossible request and has actually been done before.
Well-known Saskatoon tattoo artist Chris Wenzel had his dying wish fulfilled when his ink-adorned skin was removed and preserved before he was buried.
The process was undertaken by Save My Ink Forever, a US-based company that preserves tattoos.
The company surgically excised Wenzel’s skin, removing 70 percent of it, and preserved the skin with a special formula that prevents it from decomposing.
The entire job cost about $80,000 and took about three months.
Adrianna and David are looking into it together.
“We are actively searching for a way to make this happen within the bounds of the law,” she said.
Adrianna met David, a hairdresser and film producer, on Instagram.
"The first thing that I noticed was how persistent he was," she said.
"He kept asking to meet me, but I wasn't entirely enthusiastic about it.
"Light-heartedly, I even teased him about his height, asking if he had a squeaky voice. To my surprise, he responded with a voice message, revealing a perfectly ordinary, masculine voice.
"After some friendly back-and-forth, I eventually thought: 'Why not give this guy a chance?'"
The age difference of over 30 years raised eyebrows and sparked discussions, but Adrianna and David ignored the haters. They became engaged and married soon after.
"During a vacation in Turkey, David insisted on visiting Cappadocia, the Hot Air Balloon Capital," she said.
"We had been there a year earlier and had a wonderful time riding in a hot air balloon, so I agreed to go again to witness the balloons from the ground. David had been restless and sleepless, and I couldn't figure out why.
"At sunrise, as we filmed a vlog for our YouTube channel, I was gazing at the balloons when David suddenly knelt down and proposed. I was completely shocked and overwhelmed with emotions."
Adrianna revealed that David had cleverly hidden a camera in the grass and asked their guide to capture that moment from a unique perspective.
The video, uploaded to YouTube, gained 37,000 views.
David's mother organized the couple's wedding. They chose a classic wedding theme, with Adrianna donning a traditional white dress, veil, and tiara.
David, however, added a touch of uniqueness with white pants and ankle-high sports shoes paired with a black jacket.
"David's suit jacket looked great, but the pants he was supposed to wear were too tight. He couldn't even button them up. So, at the last minute, he decided to switch to white jeans," recalled Adrianna.
"We went to the court to sign the papers and then traveled to the reception in a horse-drawn carriage through the forest.
"Things took a surprising turn when we encountered a swarm of hornets. Fortunately, they settled down, and we got to the reception unscathed!
"The celebration continued with a family bonfire. It was such a beautiful day."
