She used to work as a lawyer and had a completely ordinary appearance, but after her divorce, she decided to change her life . She quit her job and got her first tattoo .

Now, 96% of her body is covered in tattoos, including her eyeballs. Her forehead is decorated with titanium implants shaped like “horns,” and her teeth have been replaced with sharp fangs. Her tongue is split, her ears stretched — all to look like a vampire .

Curious how beautiful she was before? Her photo before the changes is shown in the first comment 

María José Cristerna was born in Mexico. In her youth, she was an ordinary girl: she studied, dreamed of a career, and started a family.

However, her life changed drastically after an unhappy marriage. When she managed to break free from that relationship, she decided to transform herself, turning pain into strength.

That’s how her amazing transformation began, which later brought her worldwide fame as the “Vampire Woman.”

María altered her appearance almost beyond recognition. Over 96% of her body is tattooed, including her eyeballs.

Her forehead is adorned with titanium horn-shaped implants, her teeth replaced by sharp fangs, her tongue split, her ears stretched, and her skin marked with many intentional scars in scarification style.

She has over 49 body modifications. According to her, it’s not just a form of self-expression but also a path of inner healing.

She used to be a lawyer but changed careers after her transformation and opened a tattoo studio. She also actively participates in body art festivals. She has four children, and according to her, her family supports her choices.

María has spent thousands of dollars on her body modifications but does not disclose the exact amount. For her, it’s not a matter of money or provocation, but a deeply personal journey.

Today, she is a symbol of strength, freedom, and the right to be oneself despite others’ judgments and beauty standards.
