Milford tattoo artist competing in Inked Covergirl contest

Menna Valentina of Delaware Branding Company in Milford has been accepted as an Inked Covergirl contestant.

“I always used to watch all the girls I tattoo take part in this contest every year, and it finally dawned on me this year, ‘Hey, I should be in that competition too,’” said Valentina.

Tattooed models from around the world compete to be on the cover of Inked magazine. Inked has featured some of the hottest names in music, entertainment, and alternative culture – and these ladies want to make their mark in the pages of this iconic magazine.

Tattooing for the majority of her adult life, Valentina has been at Delaware Branding Company since 2019. “I was working a normal job and tattooing at home when I first started. I tried working at a few shops down south Delaware, but I finally found a home at Delaware Branding Company and recently bought a house in Milford to be closer to the shop,” she said.

The winner of the 2023 Inked Cover Girl Competition will take home a cash prize of $25,000. Celebrity photographer Christopher Kolk and his creative style team will design a photoshoot specifically for the 2023 Inked Cover Girl to showcase why she earned the cover. The winner will also receive a two-page spread within the magazine that is the ultimate opportunity to tell her story and show off her tattoo collection.

The first round of voting has started, and Valentina is second in her group of 50. To cast a vote for Valentina, go to cover.inkedmag.com/2023/menna-valentina.
