“I looked up to all the big tattoo models
when I was a teenager, and I knew I

that I couldn’t help but start doing more and
more shoots. I finally decided to call myself a
model and take it seriously as a career in July
of 2014. I’ve never been more busy, tired,
stressed out, exhausted, sleepy, overworked,
but it’s all completely worth it.”
A friend from the Sacramento music
scene was her way in. Staci started doing
live band promotions and photography
for bands like Rob Zombie, Fall Out

Currently, Staci works with Ladies of Metal, a
band promoter and modelling agency. You can
