Isobel Varley (b. 1937, Yorkshire, United Kingdom) is a Guinness Book of World Records-recognized tattooed senior.[1][2] She was first named "the world's most-tattooed senior woman" in 2000.[3] Varley got her first tattoo in her late 40s at a tattoo convention at the Hammersmith Palais.[1][4] According to Guinness over a ten-year period, Varley had over 200 designs inked, covering at least 76% of her body in tattoos. She reports that "the only areas not completely tattooed is my face, the soles of my feet my ears and some area on my hands."[5]
