Becky Holt, who is thought to be ‘the most tattooed woman in Britain’ with around 95% of her body covered in inkings, has fans wondering why she doesn’t have one place done
Becky Holt is dedicated to being the ‘most tattooed woman in Britain’. But while she sports plenty of ink across her body, there is one place she’s neglected so far. Starting at just 15 years old, she now has tattoos from her head to her toes, but after she was spotted sunbathing on Instagram, fans have realised she lacks tatts in one area.
Posing in a chic red two-piece in Beach Cabo Roig in Spain with a scarf atop her head, she captioned her post: “Beach day with my loves,” and people rushed to the comments to tell her that she looked “beautiful,” referring to her as a “stunning woman”.
Previously, Becky has opened up about getting her intimate areas tattooed, but during a Q&A on Instagram Live, she shared there’s somewhere she won’t bother getting tattooed.
And there were some fans who noticed there was a lack of tattoos on the soles of her feet. “Next, we want foot tattoos,” one penned.
Speaking to her over 150,000 followers, someone asked her whether she had any plans to get the soles of her feet tattooed, as the tops of her toes are already adorned with designs.
They asked: “Will you ever tattoo under your feet?” Becky responded: “No, there’s no point. I can’t be a**** with the pain of it for it not to last”.
There’s a reason Becky isn’t too keen on getting the soles of her feet tattooed. Not only is it a painful area to ink, but it’s also not the most practical decision.
This is because tattoos on the soles of the feet fade more quickly than any tattoos on any other part of the body.
This is likely to be because it’s trickier to penetrate the skin on areas that are harder or calloused, which feet can often be due to the amount of walking people do.
Tattoos on the soles of the feet can sometimes last less than a couple of years, which makes it seem pointless, which was Becky’s reasoning.
The skin on the soles of the feet is subject to constant friction and pressure, as it is the point of contact with the ground whenever you walk, run, or stand.
This causes skin cells to regenerate more frequently, which can lead to faster fading of tattoos.
Not only that, but the constant rubbing against socks, shoes, and the ground has an exfoliating effect on the skin, which can cause the tattoo to wear off prematurely.
Additionally, this area is prone to more sweating and exposure to bacteria, increasing the risk of infection if not properly cared for.
It’s important to follow aftercare instructions closely and try to minimise pressure on the area as much as possible during the healing period.
