I love [tattoos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/86-tattoo-limited-edition), I want more. Many, many more. But some people want to get everything tattooed, and when I say everything, girl, I mean everything. This head-to-toe tattoo suit inked on Aussie Geoff Ostling is epic.

Being worked on for almost 20 years by [tattoo artist](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/inked-out) eX de Medici, Ostling plans on donating his remains to a taxidermist, so his skin can be displayed at Australia’s National Gallery. Check out the gallery for all the head-to-toe tattoo suit you could want.
