Get to know Grace Neutral, the 26-year-old handpoke tattoo artist who took herself from self-confessed alternative weirdo to actual pixie dreamgirl with a series of dramatic body modifications. Surrounded by her fluffy friends Totoro, Stitch and Pusheen, Grace welcomes us into the bedroom of her London flat where we discover the emotional and physical steps she went through on the journey towards becoming her true self; the tattoo-covered alien princess with purple eyes, pointed elf ears, a forked tongue, scarification and no bellybutton that just walked for Ashley Williams during LFW and keeps her quarter of a million fans inspired on Instagram. Be you. Be beautiful.
