InkSpired Magazine: What inspired you to start getting tattooed? Zhara Nilsson: I find it a creative and beautiful way to express yourself through body art. Behind every single one of my tattoos is a story or a meaning. InkSpired Magazine: Tell us about your favorite tattoo. Zhara Nilsson: It’s hard to just focus on a single tattoo since most of them are connected. But my favorite must be the anchor on my sleeve that my pinup holds, which is a symbol for strength with the writing stating, “I am the captain of my soul.” It reminds me to be strong when times get tough and to never let anyone hold my pen whilst I write the book of my life. InkSpired Magazine: Who are your tattoo artists? Zhara Nilsson: All of my tattoos have been done by Davey Robertson at Cruithni Custom Tattoo in Hull, UK. InkSpired Magazine: What role do tattoos play in your life? Zhara Nilsson: Tattoos play a big role in my life. Over the past few years I’ve been offered and done many jobs which have been due to the fact I have tattoos. Some of those jobs have been overseas too, so in turn, helped me pursue my passion of traveling and exploring the world. 10 InkSpiredMagazine.com
