The model shared a photo revealing a tattoo dedicated to Bowie, whom she lost on Jan. 10, 2016, after a private battle with liver cancer. The caption reads, “Jan 10th. The pain didn’t vanish…it left in its place a loving permanent mark. #BowieForever.” The post captures the moment Iman received the tattoo on her arm, set to Bowie’s song “Subterraneans.”
