When Henna Riipinen, 35, published a bold picture on social media for the first time, she was met with an outpouring of anger. Today, he supports himself with revealing pictures.
- Is everyone thinking that "well, now they're also doing some porn", Henna Riipinen remembers thinking.
It was March 2022 and he had just decided to set up an Onlyfans profile. The idea of creating an account had been brewing for a long time, almost a year.
Before changing industries, Henna had a long career as a barber-hairdresser. Little by little the feeling grew that he wanted to do something else in his life.
At the end of last year, Henna got burnt out, went on sick leave and finally left her old job completely.
- Then I decided that I would just slap that profile on there, even though I was incredibly nervous.
Henna publishes sensual and bold pictures on her account. Sometimes in their underwear, sometimes completely naked. It's important to him that the pictures are beautiful, even though sometimes he gets excited about messy poses.
- I don't just want to take a picture of my lower end with my phone, I want the pictures to be pretty and artistic.
He plans different weekly themes for his account: one week he appears in the photos tied with ropes, the next week the feeling of the photos may be completely different.
About four months after setting up the account, Henna says that she earns an average of 3,900 euros per month with her profile. Taxes still come from this amount. Onlyfans income is taxed as foreign income.
The income is slightly higher than in Henna's previous job, but according to her, it is accumulated with much less effort.
- Nowadays, I work a three-day work week instead of the previous five.
During three days, Henna photographs, edits, plans and schedules her content. Although Henna found her old job more stressful than the work of Onlyfans, the new job is not completely stress-free either.
- I often wonder what I would come up with next and whether people like my content. Work matters are on my mind a lot.
It is part of the nature of the work that the number of subscribers and, with it, the monthly income are constantly fluctuating. Henna's subscriber numbers have varied between one hundred and two hundred subscribers.
Last summer, Henna also participated in the first Onlyfans training in the history of Finland. The Finnish Syke Tribe has launched a coaching program that promises to support Onlyfans content producers and break the negative stigma against them.
For someone starting his career, the coaching was instructive. The training focused above all on customer orientation.
– I was like aha! I can offer this kind of content to my subscribers.
There is a person behind even the splashy pictures
Henna describes that she used to be a "quiet elevator girl" who didn't want to put herself on display.
When Henna got breast implants, her self-esteem skyrocketed.
- I was so terribly happy with them that I posted a top picture on Insta that showed a little more of the chest. A terrible storm arose from it.
- I felt more beautiful than ever before. The amount of anger felt really overwhelming, he recalls.
Henna has also faced a lot of hate comments and harassment on Instagram later.
- Somewhere it clicked for me. I let everyone have their say and published the offensive comments with their nicknames.
Since then, he has learned to tolerate inferior comments better.
- Angry comments don't go all the way to the heart's core anymore, but they never feel good.
Henna thinks that the people who comment on mean things don't understand that behind even dirty pictures there is a person with a family and hobbies. In reality, behind the profile is a woman who enjoys riding, skateboarding and snowboarding in her spare time.
- I don't have to show all sides of myself. Even though I post pictures in my underwear, that doesn't mean my life is all Onlyfans.
Despite the excitement, reception on the site has been good. According to Henna, the customers have been friendly.
- Once, however, I received really tasteless feedback and blocked the person who gave it. I just thought that he also paid 25 dollars to get me here to bark, says Henna.
