The Best Tattoo Model

The Best Tattoo ModelMichelle McGee, the woman who allegedly had an affair with Sandra Bullock's husband, Jesse James, is identified in news stories as a \"tattoo model.\" Is that a real profession?

Yes. A full subcategory of moulding known as deciding moulding ofttimes features women (and occasionally men) with tattoos, piercings, and other body modifications. Some agencies change in deciding models, and some mainstream agencies equal some tattooed models, in case their clients letter one. Clients looking for tattooed models (like tattoo shops) don't mostly care what the tats depict; they're usually just after someone attractive with impressive-looking body art.

Alternative moulding is not a lucrative profession, and most people who describe themselves as \"tattoo models\" have another sources of income. Tattoo-themed publications much as Skin & Ink and Tattoo Magazine rarely clear models to appear on the cover. Instead, photographers attend tattoo conventions and shoot their subjects for free. The market for paying models is small. Tattoo conventions, tattoo shops, and companies that display tattoo ink or aftercare products may offer compensation for modeling. Regular clothing companies after an edgy look may also lease tattooed models on occasion. But meet as often they'll meet ask an creator to makeup a fake tattoo on a mainstream model.
