00:00 I don't have tattoos, I'm tattooed.
00:03 Today I'm going to do something I thought I never do.
00:07 I'm going to be transformed into a bride.
00:10 We will cover all of Maria's tattoos and transform her into a bride.
00:16 It's going to be the only time my mom will ever see me in a wedding dress.
00:21 It's called red.
00:26 Are you getting married?
00:29 Never say never.
00:30 Even before I got my first tattoo I knew that I'm going to be heavily tattooed.
00:38 I was 23 when I got my eyeball tattooed and I was 24 when I got my face tattooed.
00:43 I never ask why, I always ask why not.
00:48 And I don't have a reason why not.
00:51 I don't have tattoos, I'm tattooed.
00:54 I had some bad experience with people on the street.
00:59 There were some children who throw some small stones.
01:03 I was on the way to the subway.
01:07 Someone crept on my jacket and he screamed at me.
01:10 I don't understand because I had headphones.
01:12 I just saw his face and it was pretty crazy.
01:15 I actually don't know how many tattoos I have.
01:20 I have some big pieces which are made by different artists.
01:25 So for example this part is made by one and this part is made by another.
01:30 It seems to be one piece but it isn't.
01:33 My first tattoo was on my belly.
01:38 It's like this one.
01:41 I got it on my 18th birthday.
01:43 Today I will be transformed into a bride-to-be.
01:47 It's going to be the only time my mom will ever see me in a wedding dress.
01:52 My mom is one of my best friends.
01:56 I think she was more excited about it than me.
02:00 I just want to give her one look at her daughter in a wedding dress.
02:04 She will probably never have.
02:06 What's happening today?
02:09 I decided to transform into a bride-to-be.
02:12 I want to see myself and I want you to see me once.
02:17 As a bride.
02:18 Wow, that's interesting.
02:21 One year ago I was engaged but I broke up.
02:25 I don't know yet how I want to live in the future.
02:29 Now I would say I never get married.
02:32 And what is your feeling?
02:34 I don't know.
02:35 I cannot imagine what I'm going to feel in a moment.
02:39 I see myself in the mirror.
02:41 Maybe I'm really a bit afraid of that.
02:46 I also want to surprise myself.
02:48 How I would look like if I had chosen another way of life.
02:55 That is the makeup artist.
02:57 Oh my god, it's going to happen.
02:59 So the next time you see me I'm going to be a bride.
03:03 See you in the next two hours.
03:11 Today we will cover all of Maria's tattoos and we will fully transform her into a bride.
03:18 I think the most important thing for the bride-to-be is to pick an outfit and a makeup that's timeless.
03:25 Like ethereal, beautiful.
03:27 Did you ever do something like that before?
03:33 Only small tattoos, just like tiny ones.
03:37 Not big pieces like this.
03:40 How different do you think you will feel when you see yourself with a completely different style of makeup on today?
03:46 I think it's going to be strange to see me after the transformation.
03:52 Because for me I'm that now, how I look like now.
03:58 Oh wow, it's already gone crazy.
04:06 I think I'm going to cry.
04:09 How do you think your mother will react? Do you think she will be emotional when she sees you?
04:16 I'm pretty sure that she's going to get emotional. I don't know if she's going to cry.
04:21 Aw.
04:22 Covering the tattoos is something for my mom.
04:26 When I started getting tattooed my mom was okay with that.
04:32 But when I got my eyeball tattoo or my face tattooed my mom was sad because she thought she did something wrong.
04:40 But I don't think so because I think I have the best mom ever.
04:44 I'm pretty excited about her reaction.
04:48 It's just so long ago that I saw myself without tattoos. I can't even imagine how it will look like.
04:57 I think for me it's going to feel like a different person.
05:01 Being married is not about the dress, the party, the people around you.
05:06 It's about choosing to live with someone forever.
05:10 It's all about the love that we share for each other at the end of the day.
05:14 Yeah, yeah.
05:15 Perfect, we're done.
05:20 Oh my gosh.
05:29 Do you feel beautiful?
05:30 Yeah, I feel pretty.
05:32 Yeah, I feel like a bride.
05:35 It still feels like me.
05:38 I miss my freckles.
05:42 But everything else is really nice and really glamorous.
05:50 Does this make you feel any different about getting married?
05:55 I still don't think that I'm going to marry someone.
05:59 It feels good to look like that, but a dress and flowers is not the thing you should marry.
06:07 What do you think your mom is going to feel when she sees you?
06:10 I think she's going to like it. I think she's also going to recognize me.
06:16 I don't feel like a different person. I hope that she feels the same.
06:21 I'm nervous and it's a surprise for me. I'm sure she's beautiful.
06:27 You look so different.
06:34 So crazy.
06:36 Yeah, you look nice. Congrats.
06:40 Thank you. I'm going to get married.
06:43 And your hair. Ah, nice. It's absolutely new for me.
06:50 I miss a little bit the old Maria.
06:53 If I saw you on the street, I'm not sure I'd recognize you.
06:58 Looks nice.
07:00 It's not that I'm sad that you don't marry yet. Never say never.
07:04 If you want to marry it, do it. If you don't want to marry it, I love this moment.
07:12 I love you.
07:18 My mom's reaction just gave me the feeling I want to have.
07:23 Like she just enjoys seeing me in general.
07:26 I don't feel that much difference.
07:35 Somehow because I don't see my tattoos anymore.
07:41 I'm still me. It doesn't matter how I look like or what I wear.
07:47 I'm still me.
07:49 I'm still me.
07:52 I'm still me.
