OFFICIAL 2026 OHIO TROPHY MODELS
I’m Bunnii, and I’m so excited to be returning for my third year as a Hell City Hottie! I’m an alternative model and Sullen Angel with a love for tattoo culture, traveling, fashion and beauty, and getting lost in psychology, fantasy, and mythology. I’m always dreaming up my next creative project—and finding just a little bit of trouble along the way. I can’t wait to be back in Columbus, meet some new faces, see some familiar ones, and spend another amazing weekend with the Hell City family!
Nikki is an independent tattoo model local to Northeast Ohio and has been featured in magazines such as Skin & Ink Magazine and Mili Ink Magazine. She is known for her award winning tattoo collection; which has collected over 50 awards over the course of 4 years nationwide. This will be Nikki’s 4th show as a Hell City Hottie
Hi I'm Nysa. I have been modeling for a little over a year now. This is my third time being a hell city hottie. I love going to tattoo conventions and meeting new people and seeing all the different art styles. When I am not at tattoo convention I am spending time with my kids and finding and collecting cool antiques and oddities.
Hi, my name is Lucid! Just a badass mama and behavioral therapist out here following my dreams of modeling/acting! I spend a lot of my time in the gym or outdoors here in Arizona, whether it be hiking or camping! After winning the Sullen Angels contest last fall and Miss Cave Creek Bike Week this spring I’ve spent a lot of this past year traveling the country to different events and I couldn’t feel more blessed for all the connections I’ve been making! I can’t wait to meet everyone in Ohio, big big hugs coming yalls way!!
Heyy, I’m Mimic! Living in Indiana but traveling all over for tattoo conventions & modeling for the past 3 years. I’m all about magic the gathering, video games, tattoos and all my pets.
Known as “The Inked Minx”, Siren is a Massachusetts based burlesque performer & producer. She’s a member of the Bombshell Betties of RI, a group of pinups dedicated to helping Veterans and pets in need. Siren was crowned Miss Boston Ink 2022, and Miss Inked NY 2025, and her extensive tattoo collection spans from head to toe, and almost everything in between, including her 5 time award winning ass! She has a collection of classic cars and rides a motorcycle. You may also call her Madam Siren, as she is the Madam of The Poetry Brothel Boston.
Long time Hellion, first time Hottie! Hi I’m Val! I’m from Michigan but known to travel all over! I have been modeling for years now, but most days I’m dressed like Adam Sandler. I have an unhealthy obsession with my dog, vanity license plates, and puns! Find me at the Hotties booth, let’s high five and tell me your best dad joke!
Hello, I’m Alexis! I’ve spent the last 6 years as an alternative fashion model in Columbus Ohio. I’ve spent what feels like my whole life raised around tattoo culture and have always viewed the body as another form of artistic expression. I love to visit new coffee shops, looking for great antique spots, I love creative expression, bold styles, and occasionally being the center of attention.
Jayme is a Kansas City–based alternative model, photographer, tattoo collector, and motorcycle-obsessed adrenaline junkie. She’s happiest somewhere between being covered in ink, behind a camera, on a bike, or finding her next slightly questionable adventure. Since beginning modeling in 2024, she’s been published in several alternative and tattoo magazines and has fallen completely in love with the tattoo community. She’s creative, adventurous, a little chaotic, and incredibly excited to bring that energy to Hell City as an official Hell City Hottie.
Hey there, I'm Ivy! I've been traveling the world with tattoo conventions performing human suspension and offering Tooth Gems for the last 4 years. I am local to Columbus, and when i'm not on the road I am most likely thrifting or binging true crime. Fun fact: Hell City was my very first tattoo convention back in 2022. I am so excited to rep this year and see all of your beautiful art!
