Erika Eleniak Shows Tattooed Look in New Set Photo as 'Alchemy in Venice' Wraps

She describes a decades-long tattoo journey that memorializes her mother.

Overview

  • Posting on Instagram, the 56-year-old shared a photo from the Alchemy in Venice set and wrote that filming ended last Saturday with the project now moving into post‑production.
  • On the Still Here Hollywood podcast, she said she began getting ink in her late twenties and that every piece carries meaning, including one honoring her mother, Iris.
  • Recent coverage highlights extensive sleeves and a large back piece, with reports noting the tattoos seen in new set images are her real body art.
  • Eleniak is best known for playing Shauni McClain on Baywatch from 1989 to 1992, and she left seeking more serious work beyond the swimsuit persona.
  • She has reflected on cold off-season Baywatch shoots and says later typecasting meant working much harder to land varied roles.
