If you were to look up the word ‘inkfluencer’ in the dictionary, you’d automatically be directed to Monami Frost’s Instagram. With an impressive 1.5 million followers on Instagram and 630K subscribers on YouTube, Frost has changed the way the world thinks about tattoo culture. But the Frost empire doesn’t stop with social media—she’s also the CEO of a successful streetwear line. We got the skinny on how this media maven does it all, while also raising her eight-year-old.
We have to ask, when did you get your first tattoo? I got my first when I was 15. It was after getting a tattoo kit and I started tattooing my own arms and legs. I got tattooed properly when I met my husband, and maybe in a year or two we got most of the stuff done that I have now.
What is it like having so many tattoos by your husband? I love it. I like being kind of his painting in progress and having artwork only by him. I still love so many artists, but I’m lucky that my husband is my favorite artist.
Did your social media career happen on purpose or by accident? In some sort of way, it happened by accident. I’ve always loved taking pictures and selfies, even though it sounds so ridiculous. Looking back to when I was like 12 or 13, I would have my friends come over and take pictures of them. I never thought it would actually turn into something. Then my husband and I got our first iPhones. We were broke, but he needed to build his portfolio and get on Instagram. Which made me decide to get one and start taking photos of my tattoos. Somehow, it just happened and spiraled really fast in a couple of weeks.
