What inspired you to become a SuicideGirl?

“I wanted to be part of something that gave me a safe space to express myself without fear or shame. Seeing models over the years like @Riae, @Fishball, and @Penny inspired me to finally apply in 2019, 13 years after I first discovered SG. It's everything I thought it would be and more.”

How did you come up with your SG name?

“It’s a combination of a few of things. First, a brouhaha is a state of commotion, which is a great way of describing my personality. Then, bruja means 'witch' in Spanish. I combined the two and made myself laugh so that's what I chose. I still think it's funny. “

How did you hear about SuicideGirls?

“Reddit in 2006, like a nerd. “

How did you start modeling?

“I was friendly with some cosplayers in my home town, some of whom modeled and managed content platforms. I fell on some hard times and decided to start cosplaying and releasing photosets. I found a good group of creators to do meetups and collaborations, and just went from there."

How many tattoos do you have and tell us what inspired you to get them!

“I have about 25 individual pieces. I think it's an honor to be a canvas for someone's art. Tattoos started are a project of self love. I have a mix of flash and original customs. My custom pieces are all the first design my artist showed me. I give them quite a bit of freedom in their expression.“

Who is your favorite tattoo artist?
