CROOKED IMAGES INVITES YOU TO OUR

Annual Tattoo Model Call 2025

Celebrating your journey to self-compassion

Our annual Tattoo Model Call is back for 2025, and as always, we are not looking for models.

We are looking for stories.

Our Model Call is perfect for those who are wanting to do a boudoir shoot and have walked (or are still walking) road of body image, gendered violence, self-discovery, trauma, healing, and everything in between. '

We know how powerful representation is and how painful it can feel when you do not see yourself reflected anywhere.

Your journey deserves to be seen. To be honoured. To be captured in a way that says, “I exist exactly as I am, and I am worthy.”

How does it work?

Frequently Asked Questions

  • We welcome women, trans women, non-binary and gender diverse folk to apply. People who are ready to not only step in front of the camera but also share a piece of their story. Whether it is about body image, surviving abuse, reclaiming your sexuality, living with chronic illness, or navigating gender identity, your story matters. And someone out there needs to hear it.

    We invite all races, body types, ages from 18+, disabilities and backgrounds, making sure all are heard, seen and represented in our shared mission to self-compassion and body neutrality.

  • We love that you think this might be just what your friend needs, it has to be something that they want & feel ready for!

    So while we don’t allowed nominations, we do suggest that you to send the details to your friend and encourage them to apply.

  • Images that we use are only the ones you have selected as your favourites during your viewing.

    Regarding the option of going nude in your pre-shoot questionnaire you will be able to select from one of the following options:

    Put me out there Loud and Proud

    No Nudes!

    This means that if you choose to go nude during your shoot but don’t want us to use those images, we won’t.

  • You’re welcome to share as much or as little as you feel comfortable with. This is your story, and there’s no “right” way to tell it.

    That said, if you’re not sure where to start, here are a few ideas to get the thoughts flowing:

    • What has your relationship with your body looked like over the years (from childhood to now)?

    • Have there been any significant experiences or hardships that shaped your journey? (For example: gendered violence, sexual assault, disordered eating, gender identity, chronic illness or infertility)

    • What does your road to self-love look like? Where have you been, and where do you hope to go?

    Whether it’s a few words or a deep dive into your story, we’re here to listen and hold space for whatever you choose to share. Your experience matters and you never know who might see themselves in your words

  • The choice on what you want to wear and if you want to go nude is entirely yours!

    You absolutely can choose your own wardrobe, you will be able to wear up to 2 outfits (plus the option to go nude) in the shoot.

    You will also have access to our client closet, which has lingerie in sizes from XS - 4XL, accessories and luxury robes

  • Consent around the use of your images is incredibly important to us. You always have the option to change your mind about whether or not you'd like your images and story to be shared.

    Because this shoot has been discounted in exchange for the use of your images on our socials, we simply ask that if you do change your mind, you pay the remaining balance of the shoot ($295). We’ll also get you to fill out an updated model release form to remove the initial consent.

  • We hear this one from time to time, and honestly it's totally valid. You might have seen us share stories from people who’ve overcome unimaginable things or images of folks from marginalised communities, and maybe a little voice in your head says, “They won’t pick me… I haven’t been through something like that.”

    But here’s the thing: your story doesn’t have to be dramatic or traumatic to matter. You don’t need to tick a certain box or have lived through something specific to be worthy of being seen, celebrated, and captured. Whether you’re navigating a quiet shift in self-love, learning to take up space or simply feel like this callout stirred something in you, that is enough.

    If this Model Call is tugging at your heart or piquing your curiosity, that’s your sign. We truly believe every person has a story worth sharing, and we would love to hear yours.

  • We do our best to leave stories untouched, because we want your words to feel authentic and true to you. Whether you write a few paragraphs or share your whole journey, we’re honoured to receive whatever you feel comfortable giving.

    That said, there are a few situations where we may need to make small edits. Some words (particularly those related to gendered violence) can get flagged by social media platforms, so we might need to reword or remove certain terms to protect our account from being restricted.

    We’re also putting more care this year into avoiding fatphobic language and shifting toward more body-neutral wording. You might not think saying something like “I lost/weighed X kilos” is fatphobic and we totally get that. But we’ve found that even well-meaning comments around weight can be really triggering for others, and may unintentionally reinforce the harmful idea that smaller equals better.

    So if we do need to tweak anything, it’s never to erase your story, it’s to make sure we’re sharing it in a way that’s safe, inclusive, and kind to everyone who might read it

Past Model Call Stories

  • Carrie-Jean

    Her 2024 Model Call Shoot was transformative, both physically and mentally, helping her silence the self-doubt and embrace self-acceptance. “It was a workout of a shoot, but I loved that! Mentally, I felt fantastic,” Carrie shares.

  • Emily

    Seeing the parts of herself she disliked most, in such beautiful photos, was both powerful and confronting. Emily said, "Can I say it cured my self-doubt and my insecurities with my belly and boobs? Not quite, but was it a step in the right direction? Absofuckinglutely!"

  • Megan

    “This body, though it’s infertile, on hormone replacement and with a scar through my stomach from my cervical cancer surger; has carried me through every difficult moment. This body is also now cancer free.”

  • Alexia

    “For the first time in my life I feel confident in myself sexually, in wearing what I want, and showing a bit of skin. I feel like my 40s so far are my best, most secure, and confident years and I want to celebrate that.”

  • Ella

    “I am LOVE where I am in my journey. I love myself for who I am inside and out and for the person I am becoming and I am going to live every day in the present moment, with joy and gratitude and I’m going to shine my light!”

  • Amanda

    “Coming into my 30s was a time for me to heal and finally believe my body and who I am has nothing to do with how I’ve been treated, but how I see myself in MY eyes.”
