Flattered and Tattooed








In light of taking the initiative to do more for others, I agreed to, on this lazy Saturday of doing nothing but drinking coffee and eating mint oreos, partake in a super last minute "quickie" photo shoot. The requirement was a naturally pretty hipster girl with lots of tattoos. Apparently, I had the "naturally pretty" (thank you, btw) part down, but I was lacking in the tattoo department. Have no fear, Cole came prepared ... with a booklet of fake old school tattoos. 

In no time at all, I was being covered in soap and water washable tattoos. My mouth dropped when he put the book in my hands. "Where did you get these??" "Online. How cool are these?" I had a flashback of the fourth grade, when you went to party fair with your mom and came home with a packet of fake unicorn and butterfly tattoos, waving them in your best friends face just to get a jealous reaction out of them. 

I'm beyond flattered that I was even thought of by Cole to be the one in his promo pictures, and I definitely feel guilty for not owning any real tattoos. The pictures actually came out really cool. The whole idea was to be very simple, very subtle, and to have a complete focus. I think we've reigned success.

Cole's shoots are always so much fun. I hope he has more emergency photo shoots soon.

Enjoy!
