A Florida couple have entered the Guinness Book of Records as the world's most tattooed couple.

Charles Helmke (81) and his partner Charlotte Guttenberg (76) have inked nearly all of their respective bodies.

Charles has covered 97.5 percent of his body in tattoos while Charlotte has covered 98.7 percent of her skin in body ink. Charles, who also goes by Chuck, got his first tattoo when he was much younger, at the age of 18 in 1959 during US army training.

He was 59-years-old when he decided to get inked for the second time.

Charlotte got her first one at 57 in November 2006 as a birthday present after the death of her second husband, who had forbidden her from getting tattoos. “I consider myself a walking art gallery. Some people buy art and hang it on the walls - I have it on my body,” Charlotte said.

"Young people tell me I'm cool and how they wish their grandmothers were like that.”

Only her head and her fingers are tattoo-free – she holds a separate Guinness World Record for the most feather tattoos on any one person - 216.

The couple met in a tattoo parlour in 2006 and began dating soon after.
