# Real-Life Vampires Vampire Woman's Mega Body Transformations Include Horns, Tats and Piercings By Sandra Winn | Published 2011-04-06 | Pop Culture Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vampire-woman References: [news.ninemsn.au](http://news.ninemsn.com.au/world/8233050/horned-vampire-woman-scorned-mother-of-four) & [foxnews](http://www.foxnews.com/health/2011/04/05/vampire-woman-takes-love-supernatural-new-level/?test=faces) Maria Jose Cristerna, also known as Vampire Woman, doesn't need to sparkle in the sunshine to be noticed by human beings. Why? Because her titanium horn implants, body piercings, fanged-tooth implants, gauges and body-covering tattoos are enough to gather attention from any mortal. Vampire Woman may not "Vant to suck your blood," but seeing as how she is a tattoo artist, she would happily make you bleed a bit with a tattoo needle. Although I can appreciate Vampire Woman being her own, unique, blood-sucking wannabe self, I hope she will understand if a person ran from her if they met in a dark alley—that is unless, of course, they're wearing a garlic necklace and carrying a cross. As she told ninemsn, > I had the fangs done because I loved vampires as a little girl and I changed the colour of my eyes so they were how I really wanted them to be. Tattooing is my way of being immortal, of really being a vampire and not dying — leaving my work on other people's skin. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.9/10 - Popularity: 99% | Activity: 100% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Internet](https://www.trendhunter.com/internet) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Body Modification:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop new and safe methods for body modification that go beyond tattoos and piercings. - **Self-expression:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create innovative platforms or technologies that empower individuals to express themselves in unique and unconventional ways. - **Cosmetic Enhancements:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore advancements in cosmetic enhancements that allow individuals to transform their appearance to embody their desired identities. ### Who This Affects Most - **Tattoo and Body Piercing Industry:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop new techniques or tools to improve safety, precision, and creativity in the tattoo and body piercing industry. - **Fashion and Accessories Industry:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Introduce avant-garde fashion and accessories that cater to individuals seeking unconventional and expressive styles. - **Cosmetic Surgery Industry:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Innovate minimally invasive cosmetic procedures that offer customizable transformations for individuals who want unique looks. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Vampiric Car Commercials](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mercedesbenz-immortal-love.md) - [Temporary Oral Tattoos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/temporary-oral-tattoos.md) - [Vampire Film Makeup Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/colourpop-x-twilight.md) - [Vampire Slayer Makeup Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vampyre-cosmetics.md) - [Vampire Film Makeup Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/colourpops-twilight-makeup.md) - [Beauty Tattoo Pop-Ups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/black-vinyl-lip-stain.md) - [Fake Tomato Sauce Blood](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heinz-tomato-blood-ketchup-1.md) - [Mythological Two-Piece Dolls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/corazon-marikit-doll.md) - [Chilling Filmic Scents](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heretic-parfum-nosferatu.md)
