<p>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.

What made you decide to start a YouTube channel? When I first started Instagram, I was so self-conscious about my angles. I was also self-conscious to be talking, filming and interacting with people online, but I wanted people to understand who I am. People constantly assume that I’m this badass chick when they look at me in pictures, but I wanted them to know that
