Tattoo addict Sarah-Jane Sinclair, dubbed the ‘Temu Katie Price’, has hit back at trolls who’ve slammed her extreme look, insisting she’s finally happy after years of trying to please others
A woman who’s been dubbed the “Temu Katie Price” after sharing her dramatic transformation online has hit back at trolls who said she looked better in 2019, insisting she’s finally living life on her terms.
Sarah-Jane Sinclair, from Harlow, Essex, says she’s been bombarded with abuse over her facial tattoos, plumped-up lips and ultra-bronzed skin, but she’s not letting the haters get her down.
The mum-of-one has spent years transforming her look with tattoos across her face and body, lip filler, and a regular dose of nasal tanning spray. She says she loves the person she’s become since splitting from her “traditional” ex-husband, who didn’t agree with her “fillers and stuff.”

“Right, for everyone saying, ‘Oh 2019 you looked perfect,’ why are we glorifying obesity?” she said.
“My BMI was f**king through the roof. And also, secondly, why are we glorifying someone who wasn’t happy within themselves?”
Sarah-Jane posted a TikTok to her account, essexxink, comparing her old appearance to now, with the caption: “Overweight, no veneers, no face tatts.” The clip, which has racked up more than 116k views, shows her pre-tattoo, pre-filler look before she embraced her bold new image.
Sarah revealed her ex “would never agree to face tattoos” and wasn’t a fan of her existing inkings either.(He) would never agree to face tattoos, he wasn’t happy with the tattoos I had already,” she explained.
“It’s only when I got divorced that I started becoming who I truly wanted to be. Glorifying obesity and glorifying someone who was really unhappy with themselves, you know, I just don’t understand it.”
Since embracing her unique style, Sarah-Jane has covered herself in body art, including nine on her face with phrases such as “stand out” and “be original,” and has had lip filler injected 15 times.
“I’ve got nearly two arm sleeves, half a leg sleeve, a bit on my lower back and stomach, all my chest, neck and fingers, the back of my thighs and obviously my face,” she previously said.
However, online critics have been far from kind. One person commented, “Temu Katie Price.” Another joked, “What’s the BMI for the lips? You could take them to Slimming World.”
“That looks so painful,” added another. And a fourth said: “Did you have an allergic reaction?”
In a video posted to TikTok, which has reached 2.3 million views, showing Sarah-Jane’s very swollen lips, one commenter has added: “I do aesthetics, and if you came to me wanting more filler, you would be told no. You do not need it, and I’d suggest you speak to your GP for possible body dysmorphia, which can be very serious. X”
Another unimpressed commenter added: “Whoever did this should lose their licence.” Another commenter echoing the sentiment said: “The person doing this needs to be stuck off.”
In an interview with the Mirror in 2021, Sarah-Jane said: “People say it’s ruining your body, but I believe your body is a temple and you should decorate it, so I’m decorating myself,” she said. “I don’t fit into society, but we shouldn’t all be the same. I just like being me and free.”
