Mum covered from neck to toe in 100 tattoos crowned Miss Alternative Model 2019

A mum is in high demand since winning Miss Alternative Model 2019.

She has signed to a modelling agency and has a calendar packed full of photoshoots.

Shelby Toms, from North Tyneside, caught the attention of contest judges due to her eye-catching appearance.

While her face is clear from any inkings, she’s covered from neck to toe in tattoos.

The 36-year-old said: "I’ve got over 100 tattoos, all over my body – my neck, arms, ribs, legs, all over, but not on my face.

"My favourite one is of a dragonfly wrapped around my neck and goes down to my chest.

“I got my first tattoo at 17 years old of a boy’s name, which has since been covered by other letter print. I love them."

The Geordie mum was stunned that she won the competition – especially because she worried about her post-pregnancy weight in the past.

Shelby admitted: "Around four years ago I opened (a tattoo) shop with Allan and Lauren Richardson and I changed my lifestyle.

“I was a busy mum and put on weight after having Katlin.

“I was 11 stone but now I’m eight stone.

“I didn't chose to lose weight, it just happened after having a busy life after opening the shop.

"Back then I didn’t like what I saw in the mirror but when I now look in the mirror it is the person I want to be and the person I want to grow on."

Winning the contest will undoubtedly be a confidence-booster for Shelby.

She gushed: "I’m still in shock. I never thought I’d win but now I feel on top of the world…

“At the competition final everyone was so lovely.

“There were so many amazing looking people with fantastic costumes and make-up.

“I was standing with a group and we were all holding hands when they were calling out the names.

“I closed my eyes and didn’t hear my name called. It was the others who said ‘it’s you’. I couldn’t believe it. I feel amazing now."
