What is porphyria?

Julia Gnuse (Julia Gnuse) was not going to become notorious, she lacked a vain desire for glory at any cost. The owner of the world record was born in 1959 in Michigan (USA). After 30 years, she was overtaken by a serious illness - porphyria.

Scientists consider it a rare genetic disease, in which the reproduction of hemoglobin is disturbed. The body accumulates a toxic substance called porphyrin, which affects the skin of a person. It becomes incredibly sensitive to the sun's rays, acquiring a reddish-brown hue and bursting into the light.

Council of Plastic Surgeons

Living in constant torment, Julia Gnuse appealed to plastic surgeons to restore her former appearance. The fact is that the skin of a desperate woman was covered with non-healing ulcers and ugly scars. Specialists could not help the unfortunate, but they advised us to decorate the body, dotted with irregularities, with tattoos so that the ugly marks of the disease were not so noticeable.

Illustrated lady

Although the doctors advised to put images in the tone of the unnatural color of the dark skin, the woman acted in her own way, having decided on a color tattoo on her legs. The first result made her so happy that Julia Gnuse decided to repeat the experiment she liked. Beautiful bright drawings completely hid terrible scars, which caused a lot of trouble.

At some point, Julia, keen on drawing tattoos, realized that she wanted to decorate those parts of the body that were not affected by ulcers. Now she covered almost the entire body with colored drawings and admitted her dependence on decorations.
