Robert Pattinson Obsessed: 'Twilight' Fan Cathy Ward Tattoo Mayhem, FKA Twigs Flashes Engagement Ring As Kristen Stewart Heartbreak Grows? [PHOTOS]

Diehard "Twilight" fan Cathy Ward took things to extremes - the 54-year-old English native has 69 tattoos (and counting) dedicated to Edward Cullen hunk, Robert Pattinson. Take that, Kristen Stewart!

But the 28-year-old British hunk wasn't Ward's only inspiration:

"I have every single one of the characters tattooed [on my body]... I have virtually the entire main cast," Ward tells the Daily Mail.

The vampire/werewolf love saga first captured Ward's heart five years ago, when her mother suddenly passed away. The film ultimately helped Ward fight depression - and now she's happier than ever.

"I just got hooked on it... I loved the main story and all the main characters resonated with me."

The Reading supermarket worker's first tattoo displays the official movie poster for "Twilight: New Moon" featuring R-Patz, K-Stew, and Taylor Lautner.

 

Her body art collection grew from there:

"Obviously, I'm Team Edward so most of my tattoos are of Edward," Ward explains. "I'm definitely a Robert Pattinson fan... He's not classically good looking - he's different. I'm not what I'd call good looking, I'm average and he's similar. Plenty of other guys in the film are better looking but he's striking in different way."

Ward has already spent over $19,000 on her "body suit" of "Twilight" ink. But the money and time (over 135 grueling hours spent under the needle) is all worth it:

"I used to be a bit of a wallflower... I used to hide down in corners at parties, I used to keep myself out of conversations and stay in the background. Losing my mum when we did sort of kicked me back into gear and realise that I needed to get myself together. I'd sort of let myself go for too long. Because of the body art, I can't hide any more... I'm much more positive and outgoing than I was before.

Ward concludes, "I turned 54 this year - 54 years young, I say. I'm going to get old disgracefully."

And she's not done yet - Ward appears on the hit UK show Tattoo Disasters, which airs on Spike.

Meanwhile, Pattinson's engagement to singer FKA Twigs is definitely official! She was recently spotted flashing her engagement ring while on a romantic date with Stewart's ex (check out the viral snapshots here).
