SCHAPELLE'S SECRET TATOO ‘I HAVEN'T TOLD THIS STORY TO ANYONE !

BARING ALL, SCHAPELLE REVEALS HER EXTENSIVE BODY ART FOR THE FIRST TIME

- Joshua Joynes

Breakfast television, films, newspapers and even a musical, Schapelle Corby’s life – not to mention the circumstances that made her a household name – has been extensively documented. Yet as New Idea recently discovered, there’s still more of the headline maker to unveil.

In 2017, Schapelle, who was convicted of smuggling cannabis into Indonesia in 2005, was ordered to leave Bali and was deported home to Australia. It was from here she took a new path.

As she readjusted to ‘normal’ life, Schapelle decided to seek out an extensive piece of body art. Having always had an artistic passion, she wanted to express the emotions she’d been forced to suppress while in prison.

“I’d never considered getting a huge back-piece tattoo. Not once [did] it cross my mind,” Schapelle, 44, tells New Idea.
