InkSpired Magazine: How and when did your modeling career begin? Andreea Rosse: I’ve been involved in this industry for the past 8 years, but as a retoucher. Many of the photographers I worked with kept telling me I should model, and eventually I did. I loved the feedback I received, and now it’s something that I do as often as I can. InkSpired Magazine: Do you have any advice for aspiring models? Andreea Rosse: Yes. What I learned is that you need to be constant, and you need to work hard for what you want. Being pretty and good looks help, but let’s face it; there are SO many beautiful girls out there. Hard work beats talent when talent doesn’t work hard. But when talent and hard work meets, you become unstoppable. Oh, and be real. Always be yourself. InkSpired Magazine: What else do you do? Andreea Rosse: My main job is retouching. I have been doing this for many years now, and I love it. I got the chance to work with and for so many talented photographers from all around the world. And it helped me understand better what I should and should not do as a model, as well as retouch my own images. InkSpired Magazine: What inspired you to start getting tattooed? Andreea Rosse: I’ve been involved with art my entire life. I’ve been drawing since I was a kid, I did composition and digital paintings growing up, so obviously I wanted something on my body. But I wasn’t sure just what, because I wanted something with meaning. When my grandmother passed away I got a tattoo in her memory. InkSpired Magazine: Tell us about your favorite tattoo. Andreea Rosse: It’s actually the first, the one I mentioned above. It was done a couple of months after my grandmother passed away. I was raised by her, she’s the one that I called and considered my mother. I chose to do a guardian angel holding a baby, because that’s what she meant to me. And I chose to do it on my back, to symbolize the fact that she’s always there - guiding and protecting me. Many people ask why did I put it somewhere I can not see it if it means so much to me. Well, here is your answer. 122 InkSpiredMagazine.com InkSpiredMagazine.com 123
