Eliza Winn

Your artist name is Eliza Winn why is that?

That is my first and middle name. I didn’t want to use my last name to protect my family’s privacy.

My full name is now published on my IG. (Wink).

I love my name and have never felt the need to make up anything fake. It’s who I am.

Have you ever been attending an International Tattoo event?

I have only been to conventions/tattoo events in the US! I’m trying to go to New Zealand’s, Rome’s, and London’s. My favorite convention by far is Durb Morrison’s HELL CITY. It is SO much fun and the after party is insane!

What is your favourite style of tattooing?

I think as I’ve evolved and matured my favorite style is traditional Japanese. It never goes out of style, it’s powerful, and beautiful. I also love colorful tattoos. I’ve noticed you can tell someone’s age a lot by the style of their tattoos, and realized that Japanese art will always be a prominent, timeless style. Some of it is very meaningful as well, so that’s cool too. My right arm is in the middle of getting covered in traditional Japanese by Jeffrey Page right now.

Are you most into winter or summer holidays?

I love all and any holidays…

I will take one anytime.

Have you been in any tv shows or programmes/ series?

No I have not but I do intend on acting more and more. I love it. But

I’m happy with the music videos for now!

Do you have any specific hobbies beside your work as a model?

Yes I play music.

I’m a classically trained pianist, I sing all the time, I have a microphone, guitars, bass, amplifiers, and a baby grand in my living room; the music is kind of non-stop around here.

The only thing I don’t have is a drum set but I’m getting an electric one soon, so I don’t piss off the neighbors.

Most of my friends, including my man, are professional touring musicians so we have a lot of fun here!

How many years have you been modelling and how did you actually start?

I began modeling around 15. I went to an art school for high school and one of my (Japanese) friends, who was a pro skateboarder back then, had a talent for photographing and developing film. He asked me to pose for him and those photos ended up in a Japanese skateboarding magazine, which was very rare to see back then. That same year during a trip to NYC, a talent scout for an elite modeling agency called Ford Models saw me on the street at Columbus Circle and I signed with them that day.
