(Los Angeles, CA / June 11, 2021) — On May 28, 2021, Alt Star Magazine held its annual Alt Porn Awards, with this year being of the virtual kind due to the pandemic restrictions. Alt Erotic Network wanted to share the company’s 12 Award nominations with its own red carpet streamed live for the world to see.

What happened in the few hours will live in adult industry infamy; not only did Alt Erotic take home the biggest award of the night as the Best Alt Membership Website, but the couple got engaged LIVE during the Red-Carpet interview.

Misha Montana, who has been named as the company’s Chief Brand Officer, was under the impression that she was going to get a tattoo lesson from fellow Alt Erotic Brand Ambassador and “Tattooing Pornstar” Evilyn Ink. The plan was simple: Misha Montana was coming off a massive stroke a little over a month prior, and now due to her medication could not get any more tattoos. Ivan was stepping up for the couple to start his Alt Modeling transformation.

“For weeks Misha was asking what she will be tattooing on me. I kept telling her whatever she draws would be great, so she drew a cute stick figure cat,” said Ivan. “I had other ideas in mind. Good friend Samantha Mack suggested a butt proposal tattoo, and the plan was hatched.

“Five days before the awards show, our Brand Ambassador and tattoo artist Joshua Gray did the honors of tattooing my butt proposal. Then the handful of us who knew about this had to keep this secret and I had to keep Misha from seeing my ass cheek. This was the highlight of my life, and seeing Misha’s reaction sealed it for me. She is truly my soulmate.”

The two have been shooting their nerdy adventures and silly proposals for seven months, surprising each other with theatre rentals, UFO crash sites in the living room and numerous practical jokes – all recorded for their spin-off YouTube channel “2 Russians 1 America” from Alt Erotic’s project “Twisted Crowd”.

“The proposal was by far the most unique and emotional any red carpet can bring, in any form of entertainment,” said Ivan, who documented the proposal teaser for fans in a YouTube video.

“I was so overwhelmed with love by what Ivan surprised me with at the awards,” added Misha. “I have been through a lot the past few months, and this was such a beautiful gesture. I’m so happy and I can’t wait to see what the future holds.”

Launched in 2018, Alt Erotic is the hardcore passion project of German-born Sascha Ink, a 19-year adult industry veteran and Hall of Famer who created the production studio and content site to pursue his love of tattoos, piercings and beautiful women.

Sascha began his journey in 2005 when he started the site MyTattooGirls.com, the only site that features real, live tattooing and sex simultaneously. “Having had a lifelong fascination with tattooed and pierced women, I decided that I would create a site that brought the excitement of tattoos, piercings, and sex together”.

Along with CEO/Creative Director and award-winning filmmaker Ivan, who came to adult film 20 years ago via Rob Black’s Extreme Associates, Anabolic Digital and his own website network Puba, Alt Erotic aims to offer its viewers a wholly original and intimate experience by uniting the pain and permanence of tattoos and piercings with the pleasure of sex.
