Ive inked my body so much – trolls compare me to a kids colouring book
A woman who says she's inked over 75% of her body revealed that people give her dirty looks and compare her tattoos to a colouring book.
But Omi remains unbothered by her critics. The 28-year-old content creator and tattoo enthusiast from Ontario, Canada, has over 134,000 Instagram followers who she regularly updates with her latest artwork.
Omi – known as @flowmi.ink on social media – says her body art is inspired by the tattooed band members she admired in her teenage years. She said: "I got my first tattoo at 21, it was a Poison Ivy and Harley Quinn piece."

She estimates having spent around £10,000 on her body art so far, joking that the amount could probably buy a decent car outright.
While her unique look attracts attention both online and offline, not all of it is positive.
Despite occasional trolling and "dirty looks" Omi told NeedToKnow.co.uk that she'll continue to proudly show off her art.
Omi shared: "I have only received positive compliments in person [but] maybe a few dirty looks, or sometimes people cross the street to not pass beside me.
"A lot of people appreciate the quality of my artwork and the vibrant colours.

"Online it's easier for people to troll, and in the past I've been told I ruined my body, and that I look like a children's colouring book.
"But I'd never let those comments stop me, I love art and I love my body."
In a recent Instagram video, Omi surprised her followers by revealing her spooky themed tattooed back.
The clip starts with her hiding her back with a hoodie, captioned "What's your favourite scary movie?"
She then lifts the hoodie to display the inkwork. Mostly in black, white and a hint of red, it features famous horror movie characters including Pennywise, Michael Myers, Slenderman, Ghostface, Chucky and Jigsaw.
The post has so far gained 2,690 likes, as well as thousands of comments from fans.
Tara said: "This is absolutely perfect. So dope!" Brit added: "Amazing artist right there!" Alex then commented: "I literally just fell in love." "I'm appropriately speechless. Mad respect and admiration," added Douglas.
