I always admire a woman that can be heavily tattooed and maintain such a refreshing, glamorous look. I personally think Rachel changes any stereotype that is out there of a tattooed woman. She has a face as cute as a doll... and is such a talented, gifted artist! An amazing duo if you ask me. Her paintings somewhat remind me of her... and the best part about that is... artists usually paint what they believe is beautiful... and if that's the case, I must agree with her!
Meet this cutie pie, Rachel Anne Aust!
