Tattoo model takes snaps 5 years apart to show how much inking has changed her

A lot can change in five years.

And this is certainly the case for Briana Todd, who has undertaken a dramatic transformation in this timeframe.

In pictures shared with her 537,000 Instagram followers, the alternative model showed how much her tattoo collection has grown over the years.

The first snap, taken in 2016, shows the fresh-faced influencer with inkings on her arms and hip bone.

In comparison, the image taken in 2021 reveals Briana has completed her arm sleeves and added countless intricate tattoos to her body too.

The 26-year-old, from Connecticut, US, opted for calligraphy and colour on her arms.

Briana has incorporated more dainty designs on her hand and striking patterns on her neck.

She also got swirls, flowers and a bold centrepiece on her stomach.

Pleased with her transformation, the star posted the side-by-side snaps on Instagram with the caption: “2016 vs 2021”.

More than 47,800 people have liked the post – with many gushing over Briana’s unique appearance.

One commenter said: “The difference in tattoos is so badass.”

Another gushed: “This is goals! I’d love to be a walking piece of art.”

A third wrote: “I don’t know how you get thousands of dollars of art in just six years but holy damn. Get it girl.”

A fourth commented: “You look cute in both pictures.”

And another added: “This is art.”

Brian isn’t the only Instagram star to undergo an extreme tattoo makeover in recent years.

Tattoo model Amber Luke, from Australia, has covered 98% of her body in ink over the last decade.

Meanwhile, German tattooist Mara Inkperial has transformed herself with bold designs.
