Woman shares ordeal after ex tattoos his name all over her body during abusiv£ relationship

A woman identified as Hans has shared her distressing experience from what she described as an abusiv£ relationship, alleging that her former partner repeatedly tattooed his name across her body.

According to her account, the incidents occurred during her relationship with a man identified as Joke between 2020 and 2021. She claimed that he used a tattoo machine—reportedly purchased online—to mark her body multiple times.

Hans alleged that her ex-partner tattooed his name approximately 250 times across her body, leaving about 90% of her skin covered in ink. She also stated that he wrote phrases such as “property of” and targeted specific areas of her body.

She claimed that the tattoo device used was obtained from AliExpress.

Describing the aftermath of the relationship, she said:
“Her ex began stalking, threatening and intimidating her.

“As a result, she numbed herself with alcohol and drugs, which eventually left her unable to defend herself.”

Hans has since appealed to the public for financial support to undergo tattoo removal procedures, explaining the high cost involved.

He added: “A laser machine alone costs nearly €200,000 (£174,000).

“Any reasonable person knows someone wouldn’t voluntarily get tattoos near the eye, on the nose or on the ear.

“But ultimately, the authorities couldn’t pursue it because it was legally difficult to prove. Her ex claimed she consented.

“For Joke, that feels like an injustice.”

Her fundraising campaign has reportedly surpassed its €30,000 (£26,000) target.

Despite the trauma, she expressed hope and resilience, saying:
“Someone who has been deeply hurt can rise again.

“If I can do it, so can someone else.”
