Amber Rose showed off her tattoos for Inked magazine. The model tells the magazine about what makes her feel sexy and how she keeps positive despite the “haters.”
What is your most favorite place you have traveled to and why? It used to be Florence, Italy, but now I would have to say Ghana, Africa. The people are beautiful and so sweet. It was such a life-changing experience to go out there.
What makes you feel sexy? When I have a fresh cut and a tan.
What made you cut off all your hair? When I was a little girl I used to love Sinéad O’Connor’s video and song “Nothing Compares 2 U.” I knew I wanted to look as beautiful as she did one day, so when I was old enough to make my own decisions, at 19, I cut it off, and it’s been over eight years now.
When and what was your first tattoo? I was 15 and I got paw prints on my upper thigh. It was kind of a fad in Philly and all the girls had them.
Do you plan on getting another tattoo? I want to get two full sleeves eventually, but I just don’t know what I want yet.
What’s your ethnic background? My mom is Cape Verdean—West African—and my father is Italian and Irish.
How do you manage to ignore the haters and the negativity and remain confident? It’s not easy—I won’t lie. But I choose to keep my life positive. I’m not perfect, so I ask God to forgive me all the time and thank him for helping me grow into a better woman. That gets me through everything.
Is the fame something that just happened? Yes—I didn’t even try. Honestly, I guess people just found me interesting.
Which tattoo of yours was the most painful? Definitely the flower on my lower stomach; that’s a very sensitive area. I teared up a little.
