A major Disney fan in Taichung, Taiwan, was so enraptured with the ‘Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs’ animation that she had Snow White, the Prince, and all seven dwarves tattooed on her back. The work too three months for Annfaye Kao, age 27, to complete and she recounted, “It took three months to finish it as it was so detailed. It hurt really badly to get a full one on my whole back. At times I was in such pain that I wanted to hurry it up, but luckily I didn’t give up and got it finished.” via Hungeree
