| I have a tattoo and several piercings - is this OK? Generally, tattoos and body piercings are only going to limit your chances of getting work, unless they are small or hidden enough to not get in the way of the eye or the camera. I'm 5'4", is this too short for modeling? Technically, anything under 5'7" in the modeling world is classified as petite in nature. The problem is, those models who are 5'6" will get nearly all the fashion and editorial work. Swimsuit and lingerie modeling however do tend to have a less strict demand for the height requirement. So as long as you're in proportion, height shouldn't be a problem in those fields. The other option to consider is acting or TV commercial modeling. I'm 25, am I too old to start modeling? A few years ago, I would have said yes and nothing more. But today, with the trend to represent a more accurate image of the public's physical profile, fashion houses and cosmetic companies are hiring older and more "normal" looking people to represent the average person in catalogs, posters, etc. Although it's not accurate to say that the models they use are plain by any means, it is true to say they're not outrageously and unrealistically drop-dead gorgeous. A good example is Liz Hurley who started modeling at 28 years of age, and had been acting before that. |
