Pony Wave, as you can likely tell by her name, is far from ordinary. She’s a gifted artist who has seen her talents take her from Russia all the way to Los Angeles here in the states. Beyond the ink she puts on others, Pony Wave is also a model who fits\u00a0the creative professional\/inked beauty figure\u00a0area of interest\u00a0I’ve\u00a0had\u00a0during my\u00a0Pop Culture Spin interviews. Check out my Q&A with Pony Wave below and definitely contact her if you’re ever in the LA area looking for a tattoo…<\/p>\n

Pop Culture Spin: Pony Wave, thank you for joining my website on this interview. To start, what caused you to make the move from Russia all the way to Los Angeles?<\/strong>
\nPony Wave: Each artist is trying to reach the epicentre of the industry. Los Angeles is full of talented people and varieties of interesting projects. This city inspires you and\u00a0offers you lots of great opportunities. That is why\u00a0I am here. Russia instilled in me purposefulness and Los Angeles provides me everything to keep growing in the artistic sphere!<\/p>\n

PCS: So when you were a child years ago back in Russia, did you have a love for drawing\/art work growing up just like you have today?<\/strong>
\nPony Wave: I have been painting all my life and\u00a0I am trying to be fully involved into art.\u00a0I consider art to be united. There are different ways of expressing yourself and sending the message to the world,\u00a0but the same idea. That is why an\u00a0artistic person usually has multiple sides to them, and my parents used to give me all the opportunities to develop my personality without wasting the time.<\/p>\n

PCS: What made you interested in the tattoo artist profession?<\/strong>
\nPony Wave: I remember the time\u00a0I used to be interested in music, I even had a music band. It was all about Rock and Roll, and that’s how\u00a0I found myself as a tattoo artist, same Rock and Roll flow,\u00a0just one more way of expression.\u00a0The tattoo industry was a great opening for me and a new challenge.<\/p>\n

PCS: Is there a tattooing style you feel the most comfortable doing on clients?<\/strong>
\nPony Wave: I admire such tattoo styles as realism and new school, but if you combine them both\u2026it is something unbelievable and cool.<\/p>\n

PCS: I see that you\u2019re a vegan. Has this always been the case in your life?<\/strong>
\nPony Wave: Veganism is a top part of my lifestyle.\u00a0At first,\u00a0I was not involved in it as much but then\u00a0I got into Veganism more and more.\u00a0The health of the nation, of our planet, that’s what’s important.\u00a0And of course being well-educated is no less significant.\u00a0I think that the only way to find out the truth is to doubt.<\/p>\n

PCS: You also mention on your Instagram page that you\u2019re an illustrator. What kind of projects do you create in this area?<\/strong>
\nPony Wave: Now I\u00a0am working on creating different print designs for clothes and I am looking forward to starting my own design line.<\/p>\n

PCS: I believe part of your strength as a model is that your naturally innocent look contrasts with your heavy ink. Would you agree that this makes your vibe unique?<\/strong>
\nPony Wave: Being natural, that’s what makes us unique. I like when a tattoo is meaningful, when it entirely\u00a0captures the personality and reveals the inner world. I respect people who create their own image and try to follow it 100%.\u00a0I know it is\u00a0super hard, that’s why being natural is my\u00a0way of expressing myself.<\/p>\n

PCS: Is it difficult managing your time between being an artist and a model or do you feel you balance them well?<\/strong>
\nPony Wave: I consider myself more as an artist rather than as a model.\u00a0A good model is like a plasticine, he\/she should be able to transform into any image. Modeling is similar\u00a0to acting techniques, and that’s what\u00a0I like, it is really interesting not just to be a model but an actress as well.\u00a0I admire when photos fully reveal your personality, and those photographers\u00a0who can express and capture my character and my individuality,\u00a0are so valuable for me. That’s when the shots come out as epic.<\/p>\n

PCS: Thank you again for the interview \u2013 you have a fascinating journey and I commend the creativity you bring to your fields. Lastly, where can readers follow you on social media and how can clients book you for a tattoo?<\/strong>
