Jessica White is baring all in the new issue of INKED magazine. The Buffalo, NY native, Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model and Maybeline front woman is both candid and ravishing in an editorial spread lensed by Warwick Saint.
“This will be the last time I pose nude before I move on to other projects in my life,” White told INKED. “I think the INKED readers—those in the tattoo community—understand my message and I want to share the real me, bare, stripped down and tattooed.”
White says she got into tattooing as a way of dealing with her problems. “I wanted to self-mutilate to feel alive again, but being a model I couldn’t become a cutter,” she says. Instead she tattooed her body in places that wouldn’t greatly hinder her ability to book work.
Even when clients didn’t want a model with tattoos, they still wanted Jessica, so they worked around it. When she was turned down because of her ink, she was upset but never regretted being tattooed. “My tattoos are that important to me,” White said.
Accompanying the striking photographs are poems written by White, who is presently working on a documentary and a memoir/self-help book.
