Welcome to the pages of LW Mag. What went through you mind when we first approached you to shoot for our LW Babe of the Week feature?
I was honoured having just arrived back from living and modelling professionally overseas. It was the ideal opportunity to get my name out over here on these shores.

We chose a very different type of location for your shoot. What did you think when you first arrived and what do you think of the outcome?
Nothing shocks me. I have shot in the most random interesting locations all over. I don’t mind getting a bit down and dirty. I loved the outcome and the team were great with a brilliant photographer.

You have just relocated to Cape Town. What was your reason for moving and what are you planning on doing in the Mother city?
I lived in the UK and other parts of the world for 11 years modelling, stayed in JHB for a bit but home is where the heart is, so in Cape Town for now but sure I will be back at some point. I work in the motor industry and sales but modelling and acting will always be my passion and my agents are all here in Cape Town.

“Fun, happy, adventurous, loyal and dedicated. Oh, and did I say a lady in the streets but a freak in the sheets?”

You are heavily tattooed, which we like. How old where you when you got your first tattoo and what was it?
I was 19 and the tramp stamp tribal on my lower back standard for a first tattoo [laughs].

What goes through your mind when you are sitting in the chair and dealing with the pain?
So used to it now that it doesn’t faze me. I just zone out.

Which has been your most painful?
By far my neck. 9 hours in total. The fingers aren’t that great either.

Are you planning on getting more work done?
My tattooist Boog needs to finish off my one sleeve a bit then I want script up my ribs, then will see from there.

How many piercings do you have?
I’m not really into piercings and took most of them out. Only got my upper lip and navel done now. I had 36mm stretched ears but had plastic surgery to close them up. I got more slack for them than anything else.

What’s your opinion on why there aren’t more South African babes who are heavily tattooed?
It takes a certain kind of girl to pull it off and unfortunately it’s become so mainstream chicks are just getting random stuff now because it’s cool, not because of the art or meaning behind it. Overseas it’s normal but over here people are still a bit more conservative. I was the first heavily tattooed model to feature on big bill board campaigns and to be signed by one of the biggest alternative agents in the UK.

What is a big no no when it comes to tattoo designs?
People picking random flash or copying celebrities or, even worse, trying to get your hands or neck done when you hardly have any ink. Tattoos are an expression of who you are and should have meaning behind them.

You have a super tight body. What do you do to keep in such good shape?
I am a qualified personal trainer as well as a nutritionist. I’ve always been around fitness and body building. I don’t do cardio I do mainly do free weights and hypertrophy training.

What advice would you give to a guy that would like to take you out on a date?
I am very picky and have certain criteria. I don’t have time for bull shitters or cheats. Loyalty and respect is all I ask.

What would you expect on that date?
Believe it or not I am not high maintenance, I could quite happily cuddle up on a sofa and watch a movie. Not going to say no to a Michelin Star restaurant and a bottle of Ace of Spades, but hey.

What has been one of the most adventurous places that you have done the deed?
I am a lady and I don’t air my dirt. Sorry boys.

What 5 words best explain Candice Bettison?
Fun, happy, adventurous, loyal and dedicated. Oh, and did I say a lady in the streets but a freak in the sheets?

Finish these sentences:

“The type of guys that turns me on is…”
over 100kg at least, 6ft at least, and must look after their bodies, and cleanliness. Must be loyal and a complete gentleman.

“Foreplay…”
now that would be telling too much of a lady, sorry again boys.

“You’ll know I’m into you when…”
you can make me smile and laugh like a kid again.

“Tattoos…”
are an expression of the soul and an art.

“…gets my adrenaline pumping.”
Fast cars and big boys…
