Inked Magazine is on the hunt for its next cover girl and Kelowna’s Alice Roshinsky has her name in the hat.
The 61-year-old grandmother said: “Why not!” when asked about the reasons for running.
“It was actually my husband’s idea. A while ago he’d just kind of brought it up. “You have all these tattoos and everyone is always complimenting you on your tattoos, you should probably do something. Put yourself out there, maybe get yourself into a magazine.”
Voting opened for the first round on the morning of February 6th.
“This morning I was second in my group and now I’m in first place.”
Roshinsky believes her age will be an advantage as she is older than many of her competitors.
“I’m 61, I’m in pretty good shape, I get compliments on my tattoos all the time, so I think it’s going to work in my favor.”
Covered in more tattoos than she can count, Roshinsky says her favorite tattoo is a tattoo for her boys, featuring three roses and a clock face with the time set to the exact minute both of her boys were born.
“They were born at the same time but in different years. It’s just weird how it happened that they were at the exact same time, so that’s my favorite.”
The first round of voting is open until February 16, where participants will be narrowed down to the top 20.
The winner will be announced on April 13th and will win an exclusive tattoo session with artist Ryan Ashley, a photo shoot with photographer Christopher Kolk and a cash prize of $25,000.
“I would be thrilled to be on the cover of this magazine,” Roshinsky said, commenting that she would use the cash prize to go on a family vacation.
