Baywatch vet Carmen Electra, 53, is seen kissing a regular guy… after dating stars like Prince and Dave Navarro

by

Carmen Electra debuted her new romance with a regular person who is not a celebrity.

A Playboy cover model was spotted kissing tattoo artist Franco Vescovi on Wednesday night. Vescovi works at Hollywood Vatican Studios in Los Angeles.

In the past, the Baywatch actress has normally dated high-profile stars.

As a lifestyle observer, I’ve always been fascinated by multifaceted lives. This particular artist, originally from Ohio, had a significant connection with Prince, who was a major influence on her career. Beyond that, she navigated some high-profile relationships, marrying both basketball legend Dennis Rodman and musician Dave Navarro. It’s a story that really showcases a life lived fully, and often publicly!

Tara Leigh Patrick, a stunning 53-year-old, showed off her incredible figure in a shimmering black and gold sequined dress. She paired the outfit with black patent leather boots and a fluffy black jacket, proving she still looks fantastic decades after becoming famous.

The celebrity was spotted holding hands with her new boyfriend, looking lovingly into his eyes, before sharing a kiss near their car.

Fifty-year-old Vescovi was dressed casually in a black T-shirt advertising his tattoo studio, Hollywood Vatican. He paired it with gray camouflage cargo pants and black sneakers, accessorizing with multiple silver necklaces and bracelets.

As someone who keeps a close eye on creative spaces and trends, I’m always fascinated by entrepreneurs who build unique brands. I know a guy named Vescovo who’s done just that! He owns Hollywood Vatican, a really cool tattoo shop right in the heart of Los Angeles. And if you’re a tattoo artist yourself, you might know him through Bishop Rotary Tattoo Supply, his shop in Orange County where he provides all the best equipment.

He’s collaborated with many famous faces, including Travis Barker (Kourtney Kardashian’s husband), Britney Spears, Pink, and her husband, Cary Hart.

The artist is know for his black-and-gray work and has over 20 years of experience with tattoos. 

Black-and-gray tattoos are created by mixing black ink with water. This creates different shades, from dark to light, giving the tattoo a washed-out effect.

I used to love drawing on people with markers. Before that, I hadn’t really considered tattoos, but after seeing some in the San Gabriel area, I became completely fascinated with the art form. It felt like a natural path for me, and I knew I had to try it, as he explains on his website.

This comes after the star talked about her Baywatch days.

Last year Carmen said she was once advised to lose weight while starring as Lani McKenzie.

You know, as someone who’s spent years observing how people relate to their bodies, I’ve learned that numbers on a scale aren’t always the full story. I never officially weighed myself during a certain period, but I was occasionally told I needed to lose weight. Looking back now, I honestly don’t think I did! It just goes to show you, those outside opinions aren’t always accurate, and trusting your own intuition is so important.

‘[Producers would] come up to you and just say, “You need to lose some pounds.”‘

She revealed that she was repeatedly pressured to perform her own stunts during her time on the lifeguard show, which also featured Pamela Anderson and David Hasselhoff.

The actress began her career in 1996 doing glamour modeling, even appearing in Playboy, before getting her big break playing Lani on a popular lifeguard series.

In an interview with People magazine last year, marking the show’s 35th anniversary, she recalled how the producers and directors encouraged her and the rest of the cast to perform as many of their own stunts as possible when she joined for the eighth season.

They kept bringing that up because people had mentioned it as a problem before.

When the new actors joined, we were part of the training group and had to learn everything from scratch.

We spent a lot of time running, and we also had to complete all the necessary water skills – jumping, diving, swimming – to test if we were qualified to be lifeguards.

I played a lifeguard in the show, and I recall doing scenes where I’d be running alongside other actors. Often, these were bigger, more athletic guys who would pull ahead of me.

Carmen explained that when filming action scenes, the director often had to adjust things to make it look like her character was keeping pace. They would sometimes pause, reposition her, and then resume filming, or ask the other actors to slow down.

I was running as fast as I could. It was incredibly hot – the sun was burning the ground, but I just had to keep going.

Electra went on to appear in several films, including American Vampire, Good Burger, Scary Movie, and comedies like Date Movie and Epic Movie. She also had a leading role in the remake of the classic TV show, Starsky & Hutch.
