I watched Chasing Beauty on Netflix and one of the models was thirteen years old. She was with a USA modeling agency and they sent her to China because they like young models there. Nobody met her at the airport and she had to find her way around by herself without an adult guardian. She had to pay her own plane fare and hotel and food and sometimes she didn't get paid for the modeling sessions. She came back to the USA with a $2000 credit card debt.
I think you're mistaking what kind of model I want to be. I'd like to model clothing...for local brands. I don't think I'd be flying to China. Not to mention I'm twenty three years old.

Clothing model, but for sites like hot topic that don't mind if I have tattoos. Maybe alternative wasn't the right word. I want to be a model for local clothing companies that have an alternative costumer base. Clearer? haha

Are you against trying for suicide girls?
I've thought about it in the past but I do not think I'd model nude now. Not with an amazing boyfriend of four years who I know would be uncomfortable with it.

I think despite your colorful hair and piercing and tattoos you have kinda "classic" look.... your face looks "normal" (in a good way... you could probably model some conservative clothes (can't piercings just be taken out for the shoot). You have nice symmetric features.

Sure you could totally pull the alternative look too. Depends what you wanna do with it. What would you be modelling as "alternative"? Clubs, music stores, clothes?

Maybe you could try being a hair model too, since you are not afraid to do stuff with your hair and you could get some crazy styling for free
Clothing definitely. I don't do "clubs" haha. I agree I could do some stuff to cover up my tattoos but I say alternative because I am not the typical body type for an actual model. I am only 5'3 and I am NOT thin, so I would have to work in just photos and for sites that don't really mind my weight.
