It must be nice to have an amazing body, fashion magazines begging for you to grace their covers oh, and a tattoo that is worth $1.6 million. Kate Moss, who still earns up to $400,000 for a day’s work, has revealed that her lower back tattoo was drawn by British painter, Lucian Freud.
Moss met the legendary artist in 2002 after mentioning him in a magazine interview. Kate received a phone call from Lucian’s daughter saying that her dad would like to meet her. That is where their artistic relationship began.
Soon after the phone call, Kate and Lucian had dinner, after which, Lucian painted Kate’s portrait. The portrait, named Naked Portrait 2002, shows a very pregnant Moss against a pillow.
Kate enjoyed the painting so much that she asked if he could draw a tattoo for her. They decided on a set of birds, one on either side of her spine on her lower back.
The birds now serve as a reminder of Moss’ good friend, who sadly died in 2011.
What do you think of Kate Moss’ tattoo?

$1.6m for that small thing?!

I think it’s her money.

What makes this worth 1.6 million dollars?! And secondly, why is it even worth determining how much a tattoo is worth?
guest
@Marica0701@xanga - She didn’t pay that much for it, its supposedly worth that much because it was drawn by that painter.

I think it would be cool to have a famous artist design a tattoo for you, but those look like something any tattooist could do. Very, very ordinary.
guest
I can’t believe those tiny things are worth $1.6 million just because they were designed by a famous painter.
guest
I was expecting something more extravagant for $1.6 million dollars.
guest
more than how much that tattoo cost… no assatall
guest
….I don’t have words for how stupid this is. Congratulations Lovelyish. This is a first for you.

Absolute rubbish. The tattoo is poor, no matter who “designed” it.What a joke.
But then again, a woman’s body is a work of art.Why anyone feels it needs decorating is beyond me.
