I'd shoot you if you were out here. but in truth I'd rather do it before you get more tattoos and so limit your look.

I'd have to agree with Mike - you have a gorgeous figure, a singular beauty in your face and beautiful alabaster skin.  Why did you feel you had to mark it up or cover it up with a tattoo?

What do you offer besides being attractive?  This is not me being mean or facetious, but you have to think about this realistically.


Sure, you've very attractive.  And?  So are a ton of other models, so now what?  What separates you from any other attractive model who wants to shoot with awesome photographers? 

.

Wise wise words.

There are plenty of pretty girls on here that should pay attention to this, not just the OP.

Just when you think you're working hard enough, remember, someone will always be better than you and is working harder than you as well...

She's since changed the profile, it seems. The thing that irked me were the poor post-edits of the photographer's images.

But when people told you what to change, you started arguing with them...

C'mon guys. She's 18 years old.

How many teenage girls have their heads on straight and their priorities in order?

In her mind, no money for photo shoots, yet paying for tattoos makes perfect sense.

But she's just a kid. Cut her a little slack. If she's doing the same song and dance in 10 years, THEN she can be duly crucified.

Hmmm..well I live in the middle of nowhere and I've mostly shot with 2 photographers up here....I'm doing fine for now. As for paying photographers, I would suggest it. I paid a photographer about a year ago - I am not very happy with the images, but that's because it was my first photoshoot ever, I wasn't 100% prepared, and it was not meant for my modeling (it was for my singing group). I do suggest if there is someone you REALLY want to work with and they will not do TFCD, pay them damnit!!!!! Either that or if they live in some other state, pay the money to get there and shoot with them (or pay them to come to you). If you don't have the money, save it up. Tattoos aren't cheap, so obviously you have money.
