Interview: Rhonda Krill InkSpired Magazine: Can you tell us a little about yourself? Rhonda: My name is Rhonda & I’m a professional smut peddler and a certified personal trainer who happens to be a little bit tattooed. InkSpired Magazine: How and when did your modeling career begin? Rhonda: I’ve been modeling off and on for fun for the last 10 years. I started working with friends who are also photographers and went from there. InkSpired Magazine: Do you have any advice for aspiring models? Rhonda: Be picky about who you work with and take very good care of yourself. InkSpired Magazine: What else do you do? I’m a producer for a television broadcasting company and in my free time, I pick up heavy things and put them down. InkSpired Magazine: What inspired you to start getting tattooed? Since I was in high school, I wanted to have a very elaborate back piece and I always loved traditional Japanese tattoos. Tattoos were still taboo back when I wanted to get them (I’m old!). So that appealed to my rebellious side. After seeing pictures of gorgeous, heavily tattooed models, I found a talented artist (Jher Seno) and got my first tattoo - my entire back! He drew it all free hand and finished the outline in a ten hour session. InkSpired Magazine: Tell us about your favorite tattoo. Rhonda: I can’t pick a favorite! I love them all equally! InkSpired Magazine: Who are your favorite tattoo artists? Rhonda: I’ve been very fortunate to have tattoos from all my favorite tattoo artists: Jher Seno, Hannah Aitchison, Roman, Abrego, and Jake Parsons. I’d also love to get work done by Paul Acker, Nikko Hurtado, and A.D. Pancho. InkSpired Magazine: What role do tattoos play in your life? Rhonda: I think tattoos play a pretty big role in my life, whether I want them to or not! I’m still in the process of finishing some pieces and preparing to start others. InkSpired Magazine: What inspires you? Do you have any people that you are inspired by? Rhonda: I draw inspiration from nature, traveling the world, and always striving for self-improvement. InkSpired Magazine: What is something that many people don’t know about you? Rhonda: I was born in Japan. RHONDA KRILL Words: Candies Deezy Liu / Photography: Radek Hruby 92 InkSpiredMagazine.com
