Instead, they are commonly seen as a form of self-expression and creativity. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\"><span>It has become quite regular for models to be proud of their ink and become known for their distinctive markings.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>These famous models all have tattoos:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><span><strong>Jourdan Dunn<\/strong> has a symbol of the Egyptian goddess Isis between her shoulder blades to represent motherhood, spirituality and protection.

They won\u2019t want people who are covered in tattoos as your skin adornment will conflict with their business ethos. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\"><span>However, if you dream of modelling for quirky and conceptual companies that have a strong-minded, free-willed ethos, your tattoos will probably do your modelling career a favour.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\"><span>Check out brands like All Saints and Urban Outfitters. Both are more than happy to use tattooed models to showcase their clothes. It\u2019s all about understanding your target employer\u2019s needs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>For high-end brands, again think carefully about the type of clientele they will be targeting. Estee Lauder&#8217;s target audience was affluent, mature, professional women; when they wanted to target a younger audience, they hired Kendall Jenner (who has tattoos, though none were on show in her campaign images) to represent them.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ukmodels.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/shutterstock_662132446-scaled.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-10539 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ukmodels.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/shutterstock_662132446-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1365\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ukmodels.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/shutterstock_662132446-scaled.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.ukmodels.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/shutterstock_662132446-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ukmodels.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/shutterstock_662132446-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.ukmodels.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/shutterstock_662132446-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ukmodels.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/shutterstock_662132446-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.ukmodels.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/shutterstock_662132446-104x69.jpg 104w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Will_You_Be_Modelling\"><\/span>What Will You Be Modelling?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\"><span>If you\u2019re trying to gain work modelling girly and ladylike products, you likely won\u2019t be chosen if your skin has a coating of ink. If you\u2019re at a casting for a slick business suit brand to caters to professional businessmen and you\u2019ve got tattoos but the man next to you hasn\u2019t, they\u2019re more than likely going to choose your competition.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\"><span>If you&#8217;re unsure whether a brand will hire you, think of the following; can you imagine a brand\u2019s stereotypical customer having tattoos? If the answer is yes, the brand in question may hire you. If your answer is no, your tattoos will probably lose you the job.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Things_to_Think_About\"><\/span>Things to Think About<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>How big is your tattoo?<\/p>\n<p>How many tattoos do you have?<\/p>\n<p>Where are your tattoos positioned?<\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\"><span>With the power of Photoshop, many brands are able to remove tattoos post-production with relative ease. However, time costs money and if it is a choice between you and you small tattoo, and a tattoo-free model, they may choose the tattoo-free model because they will save time and money in post-production editing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\"><span> If your tattoo is smaller than a 50p piece, it shouldn\u2019t really put agencies off. Some models choose to hide their tattoos with make-up or a skin-coloured plaster so they don&#8217;t distract during interviews and castings. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\"><span>If your tattoo is hidden, such as on your ribcage or on your foot, and you\u2019re being employed to model standard apparel, the chances of an employer (and their audience) noticing it are small, so the tattoo will likely not jeopardise your chances.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\"><span>If your tattoo is large or you have multiple tattoos, you should consider approaching quirky brands only. Mainstream catalogues will be unlikely to employ you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\"><span>It&#8217;s also important to think about the type of artwork you have. If the subject of your tattoo is polarising, that will lose you work. If your artwork is darkly themed, you will likely only get work with similar dark\/gothic brands.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ukmodels.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/shutterstock_1369791281-scaled.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-10540 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ukmodels.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/shutterstock_1369791281-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2048\" height=\"2048\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ukmodels.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/shutterstock_1369791281-scaled.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.ukmodels.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/shutterstock_1369791281-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ukmodels.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/shutterstock_1369791281-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.ukmodels.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/shutterstock_1369791281-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.ukmodels.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/shutterstock_1369791281-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ukmodels.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/shutterstock_1369791281-1536x1536.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.ukmodels.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/shutterstock_1369791281-90x90.jpg 90w, https:\/\/www.ukmodels.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/shutterstock_1369791281-69x69.jpg 69w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Can_UK_Models_Help\"><\/span>How Can UK Models Help?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\"><span>If you\u2019re keen on entering the modelling industry and you have tattoos, get in touch with UK Models.
