She posts sizzling pictures of her incredible figure to over 71.5K followers on Instagram while flaunting her incredible tattoo work.

Cigno had a fascination with body art since she was a teenager and for years wanted to become a “living piece of art” herself.

She says a switch “flipped” in her mind, that led her to begin her transformation.

The model started eating healthy and working out regularly, causing her to lose almost four stone and shortly after, began her body modification process.

Cigno had her first tattoo inked in 2010 and now has over 50 all over her body – including her head and face.

She has also had breast implants, nose surgery, piercings, stretched ear lobes and shaved her head bald to give herself a striking new look.

Cigno now hopes to get a full body suit and also split her tongue in half.

She said: “My first and one of my biggest transformations was definitely my weight loss a couple years back.

"I lost over 50 pounds, changed my diet, hit the gym hard.

“It’s like a switch that flipped in my head. I understood that the only way to truly become whoever you want to be if you work towards it - every single day.”
