With Hollywood-style long blonde hair and a killer smile, Lindsay Holt isn香蕉视频直播檛 exactly the stereotypical picture of a lifelong accountant, but the mom of two got into the numbers business straight out of high school, and has been regional controller for Black Press Media for the last five years.
She recently made headlines when she decided to enter the Inked Cover Girl 2021 contest, and showed off her substantial tattoos in the hopes of winning $25,000.
Her two full sleeves, large thigh tattoo and several more pieces nabbed her a spot in the quarter finals, and while she was disappointed not to get the top prize, the whole experience was an interesting stretch outside the box.
香蕉视频直播淚t was fun香蕉视频直播攁nd it was a little stressful,香蕉视频直播� she says, laughing. 香蕉视频直播淚t was just about getting out of my comfort zone. I had all these new tattoos, and I had gotten in pretty good shape over the COVID-19 period.香蕉视频直播�
Lindsay got her first tattoo at 18香蕉视频直播斚憬妒悠抵辈It香蕉视频直播檚 a typical lower-back tattoo,香蕉视频直播� she says with a laugh香蕉视频直播攁nd slowly added more pieces to her feet, then her shoulder. But her passion for getting inked really kicked in when she finally got a piece done by well-known tattoo artist Disa Raven.
Lindsay had seen Disa香蕉视频直播檚 work on Instagram and instantly fell in love.
香蕉视频直播淎 year before I had messaged her with what I wanted, and had no response,香蕉视频直播� she says, explaining that the radio silence isn香蕉视频直播檛 unusual with highly sought-after artists. 香蕉视频直播淪he香蕉视频直播檚 very popular, and she香蕉视频直播檚 very, very good at what she does.香蕉视频直播�
Never one to give up, Lindsay took a chance and sent one more Hail Mary message, and managed to get in, setting up a realistic botanically themed half sleeve.
香蕉视频直播淥nce I got Disa香蕉视频直播檚 work, seeing how realistic it looked and how much I loved it, then it was kind of an addiction,香蕉视频直播� she says.
And while some of her pieces have sentimental threads香蕉视频直播攁 chickadee for her grandpa and a dragonfly for her mom香蕉视频直播攎any of them have come straight from the artist香蕉视频直播檚 imagination.
So what is it about tattoos she loves so much?
香蕉视频直播淚t makes you stand out, makes you a little different,香蕉视频直播� she says after a moment. 香蕉视频直播淚t香蕉视频直播檚 a little something different in how you香蕉视频直播檙e set apart, and the way you香蕉视频直播檙e set apart. Even everyone with tattoos, they all have something different.香蕉视频直播�
The 7 Sins
Envy:
Whose shoes would you like to walk in?
I thought long and hard about this one and realized I don香蕉视频直播檛 particularly wish to walk in anyone香蕉视频直播檚 shoes. At first I thought of some celebrities whose lives might be fun to experience, but nobody香蕉视频直播檚 life is as glamorous as it seems. I would love to experience the carefree life, a slower-paced lifestyle without the busy day-to-day hustle, but only for a moment.
Gluttony:
What is the food you could eat over and over again?
Cheesecake! Any and all types. I have a major sweet tooth and cheesecake hits the spot every single time!
Greed:
You香蕉视频直播檙e given $1 million that you have to spend selfishly. What would you spend it on?
I would definitely go on an extended vacation, to a place with the little huts on the water. Maybe Bali. Somewhere warm and relaxing.
Wrath:
Pet peeves?
Where do I even start? Two major ones that come to mind are people that leave their shopping carts in the middle of the aisle of grocery stores (why?) and slow drivers in the left lane. Please just move over! I could go on香蕉视频直播� and on and on.
Sloth:
Where would you spend a long time doing nothing?
I could spend hours and hours lying on a white sandy beach in the sun, listening to the ocean. A Hawaiian beach sounds perfect!
Pride:
What is the one thing you香蕉视频直播檙e secretly
proud of?
Myself. I don香蕉视频直播檛 openly admit it, but I am proud of myself. Proud of my consistent hard work, my perseverance, my drive, my effort and my self-motivation. But don香蕉视频直播檛 tell anyone.
Lust:
What makes your heart beat faster?
Nothing gets my heart going like getting tattooed. Something about the finality of it, the excitement of a new piece, the anticipation of the pain. I have spent a lot of hours being tattooed, but the thrill is always the same. The best feeling!
