Nina Mercedes was born in Corpus Christi, Texas - a latina standing at 5'6", 114lbs and measuring 34DDD-25-34. Her navel is pierced and she has tattoos below and right of her navel; as well as inside both ankles. Her career began after a few years working as a dancer, when she was photographed for the June 2000 issue of Penthouse. Around this time, she also began entering nude pageants. She won "Miss Nude North America" and "Miss Nude International" in 2001, "Exotic Dancer/Entertainer of the Year" in 2002, and "Miss Nude Universe" in 2003. Mercedez has been seen in every major men's magazine such as Penthouse (June 2000). Mercedez has made Hustler Honey centerfold twice in six months (August 2004) and (Holiday issue 2003), Club International cover (December 2003), Fox cover and centerfold (Holiday 2003), Club magazine centerfold (November 2003), and the covers of Club International, Busty, Gent, D-Cup, Playtime, Xcitement, Exotic Dancer Directory and AVN magazine (May 2003). In 2003 she entered the adult industry proper - although she still adorns the pages of Penthouse Australia, Score, Genesis, Busty and Cheri magazine in 2004 and 2005. Soon after, however, she began gaining steam in the adult industry, nominated for awards every year since 2006 up until the present.
