You mean it's not?

Pish-Posh!

True. I have spent my fair share on Ben Nye Tattoo Cover wheels.
I've also deliberately shot closeups on tats. All depends on what I'm trying to get.

I think you're beautiful even when you're mostly covered up. ;->

Like one lady said to me when I asked if she had tatoos, she said no!  Then she said "Would you put a bumper sticker on a Mercedes????"

Haha than why do people put pin stripes/racer stripes on??

[1]  I myself am I tattooed gal, I plan on getting a lot more but I fear as though the industry doesn't take girls like us seriously. I want to get as far as I can doing this, with out lowering my standards.

[2]-Know of any good tattoo cover up(make up)?

1. The "standard" for work is that you are the best canvas possible for the art directors to paint upon. Modeling is about SELLING, if you are talking about the commercial application of it. There is art style work, where the model's skin and what is on it, doesn't matter that much. Where it is totally upto the artist and model themselves. However, If Coca Cola decides that they want a tattooed model in one of their advertisments, then you can BET on this, THEY are going to paint the tattoo that THEY think will look right for their campaign and NOT what the model chose for herself. At least the chances that the model picked the exact look that they would want are astronomical, at best. Every piece of inkwork you place on yourself will take another part of your commercial career with it. Eventually, since you stated that you are planing even more, the mainstream commercial prospects will be gone entirely.


Don't get me wrong, There is inkwork outhere that TRULY rates being called ART. Most is not. You...I think you rate that same designation of ARTIST...your portfolio is very strong...In fact, I would shoot with you, for art's sake, anytime. Actually, I am shooting a tattoo shop's calendar fairly close to you later this year...if you want in on it...send me a note and I will get you all the details on it.

I love all the tattoos I have and the ones in mind have a lot meaning for me.
Though I do respect and understand that tattoos aren't for everyone. Like my family for example, they are pretty conservative and I made a promise to them the more I'd get the more I'd cover for them.(the irony my whole right side is dedicated to them).
Summer is coming up and my grandma is 101 and I know she'd be heart broken if she saw her family crest drawn onto my leg.    Once again I am proud of my ink. But I'm not going to be ignorant to the fact its not for everyone.... Plus these are for my pleasure, not everyone has to see them all the time

And yes I would be very interested in working with you on that project!
