MARIA Spallek, 33, from Germany, has been collecting tattoos since she was 18 years old. When she was 23, Maria got her eyeball tattooed and by the time she turned 24, she tattooed her face... All things her mum Diana, wasn't happy with. Maria's unique look has brought her a lot of attention from the public, but not all of this has been positive. Maria told Truly: "I have had some bad experiences from people on the street, people have thrown small stones, on the way to the subway, someone grabbed my jacket and screamed at me." Despite these judgements, Maria loves being tattooed and is not planning to stop anytime soon. Today, with the help of makeup artist Anna, Maria will be transformed into a bride to be... A few years back Maria was engaged to be married but after the breakdown of this relationship she decided that marriage was not for her. Maria is now going to surprise her mum with her transformed look, as she knows it will mean an awful lot to her. Maria said: "I think my mum was more excited about it than me, but today I just want to give her one look at her daughter in a wedding dress that she will probably never have." Will this transformation change Maria's thoughts about marriage, or will Maria stick to her principles and say no to the dress?

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.
