InkSpired Magazine : How and when did your modeling career begin ? Andreea Rosse : I ’ ve been involved in this industry for the past 8 years , but as a retoucher . Many of the photographers I worked with kept telling me I should model , and eventually I did . I loved the feedback I received , and now it ’ s something that I do as often as I can .
InkSpired Magazine : Do you have any advice for aspiring models ? Andreea Rosse : Yes . What I learned is that you need to be constant , and you need to work hard for what you want . Being pretty and good looks help , but let ’ s face it ; there are SO many beautiful girls out there . Hard work beats talent when talent doesn ’ t work hard . But when talent and hard work meets , you become unstoppable . Oh , and be real . Always be yourself .
InkSpired Magazine : What else do you do ? Andreea Rosse : My main job is retouching . I have been doing this for many years now , and I love it . I got the chance to work with and for so many talented photographers from all around the world . And it helped me understand better what I should and should not do as a model , as well as retouch my own images .
InkSpired Magazine : What inspired you to start getting tattooed ? Andreea Rosse : I ’ ve been involved with art my entire life . I ’ ve been drawing since I was a kid , I did composition and digital paintings growing up , so obviously I wanted something on my body . But I wasn ’ t sure just what , because I wanted something with meaning . When my grandmother passed away I got a tattoo in her memory .
InkSpired Magazine : Tell us about your favorite tattoo . Andreea Rosse : It ’ s actually the first , the one I mentioned above . It was done a couple of months after my grandmother passed away . I was raised by her , she ’ s the one that I called and considered my mother . I chose to do a guardian angel holding a baby , because that ’ s what she meant to me . And I chose to do it on my back , to symbolize the fact that she ’ s always there - guiding and protecting me . Many people ask why did I put it somewhere I can not see it if it means so much to me . Well , here is your answer .
