MODEL A S HLEY B L A IR Keeping family close A shley knew she wanted to be fully covered with tattoos at the age of 16. She got her first tattoo from Ory at Pair ‘O’ Dice when she was 19, that’s when the addiction started. She says, “My favourite part of my left arm is the large sugar skull done by Doug at 4 More Tattoos. The skull is to celebrate my mother’s life, not to mourn her loss.” Her right arm is a work in progress, started by Wade Woods at Let it Bleed. “It’s a beautiful time themed piece dedicated to my son, and I can’t wait for it to be completed.” Ashley considers herself fortunate to have her own nail studio, giving her the freedom to show her tattoos at work.
