Hi
The advice I can give is to look very carefully at the copyright contract of any image/photoshoot that you do.
The simple fact is many photographers will own the image and continue to make money from it after you have been paid a fixed fee. Also make sure there are no tie in clauses that satte can only work for them for X amt of time unless it really is a good deal.
Try and get ownership or a decent model fee upfront and avoid the company shares as these are often worthless.
The other issue is that some photographers may want to push you down the glamour/nude/porn route by offering a ‘free’ portfolio.
If you have no issues with nude modelling or anything extra then all is good but don’t be pressured into doing anything you might regret later on – best advice is what would family think if they saw it?
Otherwise if you want to do tattoo modelling I would suggest a side piece and/or sleeves/ 1/2 sleeves.
That said don’t go OTT on ink for the sake of it get what you enjoy.
Take Care

You definitely need quite a bit more ink before you should be considered for a modeling position. I think full sleeves are super sexy, and would really love a pair myself.
Glad to hear you have more in mind. I’d love to see what you get.
You look super cute from the picture, but it’s really not a great quality photo so it’s hard to see any detail.
And there is no way this needs three threads.
The problem here is that right now there is nothing setting you apart. There is nothing unique about you that would make you different than any other pretty girl with a couple of tattoos. Any successful model has something that sets them apart, makes them stand out, makes them different. Some people are amazingly photogenic, some people have stunning features, some people just know how to find the light etc. I’m not trying to be mean, you are a pretty girl, but you need to find a way to stand out in an interesting (and non skanky) way.
You need ink to be an Ink model. You have already stated that you will get going on that which is great as long as you are into it. The problem is that if you want to be an inked model you need AMAZING tattoos and that means that you will have to spend an amazing amount of money and spend an amazing amount of time as good artists can take a long time to get you in for the work. This will, of course, make any other modeling job other than say porn out of reach and may affect your long term career as well.
If you want tattoos, great! do it, have fun and see where it leads you. To get inked in order to move you forward in a niche career that probably would not pay you all that much anyway would be a mistake.
