What inspires the tattoos you choose to get?
My life experiences inspire all of the artwork that is tattooed on my body.
Can you give us a rundown of your excellent tattoo collection?
Well, we can start with my forehead, written “Jesus” in script, to the side
of my face, in front of my ear reads “sweet nothings,” then to my throat, I
have a piece with a cross being held up by angel wings with a key in the
center and roses on each side. My chest piece holds the lock that is located
on a pink cheetah print coffin being held up by bat wings, lower is a small
patched up heart at the center of my breasts, up to my shoulders, covered
with roses and diamonds, along with a few pieces going down my right arm,
to my hand of an owl face, to my other hand that has a poppy flower on
it. My knuckles are tattooed, my upper stomach reads, “warrior,” to my left
side, a portrait of a small anime girl holding a human heart in her hands,
to my lower stomach, down to my right thigh and knee, is a portrait of my
daughter and I as mermaids and a butterfly on my knee. I also have other
tattoos in between all of those.
Do you think other female models are getting tattoos to further their career?
I hope not. That is a good question; I never realized it could be possible. I
think it would be pathetic for a female model to use this lifestyle to become
someone she is not just to become a person who receives a lot of attention.
People should be themselves.
Do you think tattoos will continue to get more fashionable over the next few
years?
I’m sure tattoos are here to stay. I remember when I got my first one, they
were still considered “weird” and weren’t completely socially accepted.
Do you think people treat you differently for being heavily tattooed?
Yes, people have definitely treated me all kinds of ways for being heavily
tattooed. It’s a daily thing, a lifestyle. I have witnessed both negative and
positive behavior from onlookers.
Is there anything you do to stay in shape/look after yourself being a model
or is it just good genes?
I think I may just have good genes, I need to work out. (Laughs.)
What do you think about women’s fashion right now?
I think that women’s fashion is very important, especially in this industry
because you are what you wear.
What are your favorite brands/designers at the moment?
My favorite brands right now are Chanel and Jeffrey Campbell.
Five things you can’t live without?
I can’t live without my platform shoes, my lipstick, my fake nails, sushi, and
music.
What are some of your other loves and hobbies?
Singing, dancing, cooking, and crafting are a few of my favorite hobbies.
What is something most people don’t know about you?
Some people do not know about my love and passion for God.
