Iman marked a deeply personal moment on the 10th anniversary of her husband David Bowie’s death with a new tattoo.
The 70-year-old model received five simple black shapes from Bowie’s latest album, Blackstar, tattooed on her forearm.
The shapes spell out “BOWIE” in a subtle and artistic way, a permanent reminder of his love.
Sharing a video of the tattoo on Instagram, she wrote: “January 10th. The pain hasn’t gone away… it left a permanent mark of love in its place.”
The post featured Bowie’s 1977 song Subterraneans and fans flooded it with support, with many sending love to Iman and her family.
The message included love for Bowie and Iman’s daughter, Alexandria “Lexi” Zahra Jones, and her son Duncan Jones from a previous marriage.
A few days earlier, Iman celebrated Bowie’s 79th birthday by posting a black and white photo with the words: “Your light burns so bright in all our hearts! We love and miss you.”
Lexi also shared heartfelt memories of her father, keeping his spirit alive.
For those who don’t know, 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 felt married to him, saying her love for Bowie would live on forever in her memories.
