Iman marked a deeply personal moment on the 10th anniversary of her husband David Bowie’s passing with a new tattoo.
The 70-year-old model had five simple black shapes from Bowie’s last album, Blackstar, printed on her forearm.
The shapes spell out “BOWIE” in a subtle, artistic way, a permanent reminder of her love.
She shared a video of the tattoo on Instagram and wrote: “January 10th. The pain didn’t go away.. it left a loving permanent mark instead.”
The post featured Bowie’s 1977 song Subterraneans and fans flooded her with support, with many sending love to Iman and her family.
The post included love for Bowie and Iman’s daughter Alexandria “Lexi” Zahra Jones and his son Duncan Jones from a previous marriage.
Just days earlier, Iman celebrated Bowie’s 79th birthday, posting a black-and-white photo with the words: “Your light burns so brightly in all our hearts! We love and miss you.”
Lexi also shared fond memories of her father and kept his spirit alive.
For the uninitiated, Iman met Bowie in 1990 and quickly fell in love. They married twice in 1992 and remained together until his death in January 2016.
In 2021, Iman said she still feels married to him and said her love for Bowie will live in her memories forever.
