“A tattoo model to me is like a living breathing painting. Live artwork,” she told the site AllStephenMoyer.com. She explained her True Blood tattoos to the site, saying,” A very long story short, I related to Sookie. A girl confused about where she belongs in life. Trying to discover who she is as a person. Then finding love in 2 wrong people. People who she’d give her life for, but both people had demons that she could not fix. So, she chooses herself.”

“Leland’s ladies,if it wasn’t for these 3 ladies my life wouldn’t be the same,thank you all I love you with all of my heart and wouldn’t trade you guys for the world love you to the moon and back #infinity#mymama#mybaby#mywifey,” Leland wrote on Instagram.

Worley splits her time between Hawaii and Huntsville, Alabama, according to her model profile.

“I do live in Alabama/Hawaii and I will travel if expenses are paid, (or if it will benefit one/both parties/or already in your area because I do travel a lot). I would need copies of all images after shoot or unless other arrangements have been made prior to the shoot,” she wrote.
