It's a way to participate in an artistic forum and create beauty."It's definitely not all glamour – it's hard work and long hours, but the end result is creatively fulfilling and worth it."In addition to modelling, I own a chain of luxury tattoo shops – Ink Couture Tattoos – with three locations in San Antonio and a fourth location opening in Austin, Texas, in just a couple months. "In many ways the tattoo industry and the modelling industry are not dissimilar – both involve beauty, body modification and self-expression.
