Q&A with Tattoo Model Tom Markwick

1) How did you get into the industry, and what was your first job?

I’ve always wanted to break into the modelling industry, so I researched agencies that represent models with tattoos and discovered Hired Hands in the process! My first experience was pretending to be a spectator for Lufthansa, which I really enjoyed. That experience made me want to do more—and here I am, making it happen.

2) Do you have a dream brand or client you’d love to work with? A dream collaboration? And why?

Definitely Live Fast Die Young—I love their branding and products. Also, The Great Frog. Their rings are amazing!

3) Do you have any beauty routines or preparation rituals before a shoot?

My routine is super simple. I use a good face wash and hand cream to keep my skin in top condition. For my hair, it’s clay and sea salt spray—nothing fancy, but it works.

4) Outside of modelling, what is your biggest passion, and what did you want to be when you grew up?

Tattooing! It’s my biggest passion, and I won’t stop until I’m physically unable to do it. I’ve already achieved my dream of becoming a tattoo artist, so now I’m giving modelling a shot as my next adventure.

5) If you could only take three things with you to a desert island, what would they be and why?

My tattoo machine, my phone, and my iPad—definitely the three things I can’t live without!

6) Any advice to new faces or anyone looking to get into the industry?

Be persistent, and don’t be afraid of rejection. It’s all part of the journey.
