In the January 2010 issue, Hannah Holman for Vogue Russia is surrounded by a bevy of tattooed male models. The blonde model sports a modern take on the beehive and dramatic black cat-eyes as she gets very close to some heavily tattooed partners.
Maybe photographer Alasdair McLellan was inspired by the popular FX series Sons of Anarchy as Hannah Holman appears un-inked for Vogue Russia sporting only a menacing pout she exudes attitude.
