Maybe tomorrow we will ask some questions and write our article about you, but today, we will talk with the famous American alternative model, who has about 700,000 Instagram followers - Vany Vicious.
- Tell me a little about yourself.
- My name is Vany and I’ve been modeling for over 10 years, and have been an online Coach and personal trainer for almost 2 years. I was born and raised in Miami ,FL by a cuban mother, and a Dominican Italian father. I started off in the tattoo industry at the age of 18 as a professional body piercer, which I did for about 10 years before I found my love for modeling. Once I discovered Alternative modeling was actually a thing, I was hooked and been working ever since.
- Who made your the first tattoo?
- My first tattoo was 2 stars on my lower back which I got with my parents permission at the age of 16, they’ve been covered up since then. I don’t remember the name of the shop or who did them.
- How did you start your career?
- When I began modeling, It was mostly for fun and to just try something different. My room mate at the time had a decent camera so we just kind of played dress up around our house and took photos. I posted them on MySpace and got a really good response so I continued to shoot with professional photographers and began to expand my portfolio.
- What brands or famous persons did you collaborate with during your career?
- I’ve collaborated with Iron Fist clothing, Fashion Nova, and a lot more clothing companies. More recently I’ve been collaborating within the fitness world and companies such like Pro Supps and G Butter.
- What is the most valuable thing for you in a tattoo-model career?
- I think the most valuable thing to have is your integrity. I have never lost my integrity for any amount of money or fame.
- Did you have any difficulties associated with this profession?
- There are a shit ton of difficulties beginning with owning my own business which is a handful in itself, but also having to deal with everyones opinions constantly on the internet, especially negative ones. Haters, etc..It can get pretty annoying.
- What is your plan for the near future?
- My plan is to continue modeling and growing my fitness squad of clients who I adore!
