Student, 23, whose obsession with tanning jabs has her ‘mistaken for black girl’ delighted as fans praise slim frame
A 23-YEAR-OLD woman who’s so obsessed with illegal tanning jabs she gets ‘mistaken for a black girl’ is delighted as fans praise her super-slim frame.
Hannah Tittensor, from Belfast, often shares barley-there snaps on her Instagram page which show off her super tanned physique with fans recently commenting on the student's thinner appearance.
The beauty therapy student, who told how she first got addicted to fake tan as a teenager, revealed that her waist is a tiny 23 inches after one fan questioned her petite frame.
In one snap, Hannah posed cross-legged on the floor wearing fluorescent leggings and a black mesh sports bra which, like most off her snaps, showed off her thin figure and glowing tan.
More of her followers also commented on her appearance, with one saying she looks "proper slim".
Delighted by her fans kind words, she replied to each of them saying "thanks," and showered them with emojis.
Her extreme tan was just the beginning of her slow body transformation as she has also shown off her collection of tattoos in a number of bikini-clad and lycra bearing shots.
The Irish native has also admitted to getting a boob job, sharing a throwback photo in 2018 from when she first had the surgery.
But speaking of her tanning addiction, Hannah previously told of how she ditched the beauty products in favour of injections after becoming increasingly frustrated with their short-term results.
So instead she opted for tanning beds and illegal tanning injections because it makes her "complexion a lot nicer and glowing".
Her boyfriend Ben was the one who first introduced Hannah to the tanning beds, however, her brother introduced the pair to the injections which contain melanotan - a synthetic hormone which alters the melanin levels in the skin and allows people to go darker when using sunbeds.
Describing her experience with the daily injection she shares with her boyfriend, Hannah said: "The only side effect is the first few days of taking it you feel sick and it sorta suppresses your appetite.
"Some people would say that that's a good thing."
But defending her decision to combine sunbed sessions with illegal tanning injections, she said: "Other girls say they can't live without having their nails done and I can't live without having a tan.
"Pure and simple, it makes me happy."
Hannah has grown a fan base of 44k followers , with many of them mistaking her for a "black woman" - but it's just her extreme tan.
"People attack me online," Hannah said. "If you type 'blackface' on Instagram or even on Google, my name will come up."
She continued: "People say I was trying to be a black woman and try and switch races and stuff just because I'm tanning.
"I don't care. These people don't actually know me."
But despite the health risks her addiction to sunbeds and drugs entail, Hannah tries not to think about the damage her addiction could be doing to her body.
She added: "It's become more of like an obsession, a need to be tanned more than to actually feel better when I'm actually tanned.
"Maybe it's just because I'm used to looking at myself so I don't understand if it's too much. I just see myself as 'this is me now'."
