As a self-proclaimed "daddy's girl," Anderson knew she had to do something to keep the memory of her father alive after he passed.

She decided the best way for her to do so was by covering her body with ink – including blackout tattoos, which UK law prohibits artists from doing, according to the Daily Star.

The law wasn't about to stop Anderson from honoring her father the way she knew he'd appreciate, leading her to Germany to get the job done.

Growing up, Anderson was always in awe of her dad's tattoo collection, which inspired her to get her first as soon as she was legally able to do so at the age of 18. She told the Daily Star, "I was the classic Daddy's girl growing up and seeing my dad covered in that I always knew I wanted to be like him and have all that kind of stuff."

Though she's lost count on just how many tattoos she has, Anderson said that 90% of her body is tattooed and has spent roughly $20,000 doing so.

Her dad might have piqued her interest in tattoos, but Anderson has a lot more going on for her than just body ink.

The 23-year-old Scottish native has had numerous other body modifications done over the last seven years, including massively gauging her ears and having scarification done to her face.
