How do you get into the world of tattoo modeling?? Id love to know any information. Im new to this so I need all the help and advice i can get! Feb 18 09 04:12 pm Link hmmm...guess nobody out there can help me so far Feb 18 09 04:57 pm Link try contacting a agency type of thing that work with tattooed models like SG's or the GQ's? Feb 18 09 05:07 pm Link Maybe it's me but I didn't know there was a world specifically of tattoo modeling. There're models WITH tattoos, and tattoo publications post pics of tattooed people. But someone who models tattoos or is called just to model the ones s/he has? Not so much. Feb 18 09 05:12 pm Link I didnt mean modeling tattoos. No need to be rude or a smart ass. I meant as in tattoo magazines and such. Feb 18 09 05:59 pm Link Heather M Taylor wrote: welcome to the INTERNET.. its called a forum.. theres alot of that here..

The GQ's have soooo many rules, like who you have to be friends with and such and they don't even promote you, but expect you to promote them (I'm a former GQ), nor do they allow nudes or implied nudes. I don't know too much about the SG's except from what I heard from a former SG who told me that they didn't want to let her out of her contract because they told her that the tattoos she got while she was under contract, they owned. I don't know from first hand experience, but that's what she told me. Feb 18 09 06:13 pm Link https://www.modelmayhem.com/383200 Go to Inked Magazine online and anyone can join the inked girls page.

I have been in numerous tattoo, motor and alternative magazines, and offer model coaching and lists of 30+ magazine contacts for you to utilize for your own magazine submissions! Aug 03 14 10:58 pm Link My best advice for anyone looking to get into alt genres is to invest in working with a few superb photographers to build your port. There are several reasons for this: 1. You will get high quality magazine worthy photos 2. It's a form of networking. Yes, you're paying the photographer, but you will also be working to expand your budding brand. There's a good chance the photographer can inform you about upcoming projects. Feel free to tell the photographer to use your images on their social networks. Boom more publicity for you. 3. Ask the photographer if they submit to any publications or look for a photographer who contributes to tattooed magazines that you admire. If funds are tight or if you're looking to save to work with a photographer you can still try to find someone to collaborate with. Follow your favorite tattoo magazines and submit the collaboration for publication consideration. Remember to start small if you take this route. Chances are you won't snag the cover of Tattoo magazine on your first try, but you can certainly have goals to reach for. Aug 05 14 01:40 pm Link |
