She is a super-model that worth millions of dollars even her tattoo is worth $1.6 Million
In an interview with Vanity Fair, the super-skinny supermodel talked about her insecurities , her paycheck, and her breakup with actor Johnny Depp. And she also revealed that some of her body art was drawn on by the legendary German-born British painter Lucien Freud.
The 38-year-old fashion icon was pregnant with her daughter, Lila, when she met Freud in 2002. After telling a British magazine that the painter was the person she’d most love to meet, she got a call from his daughter, Bella Freud, saying, “My dad wants to meet you.”
She went to Freud’s house for dinner, and he started painting her portrait that night. “Naked Portrait 2002” shows Moss nude and heavily pregnant, reclining against a pillow; though the artist later described it as “disappointing,”it became one of his most well-known works.
In an interview in America, Miss Moss told how Freud – who learned how to give homemade tattoos using permanent ink and a scalpel during a brief stint in the Merchant Navy during the Second World War – offered to draw two tiny swallows at the base of her spine.
‘He told me about when he was in the navy, when he was 19 or something, and he used to do all of the tattoos for the sailors,’ she said.
‘And I said, “Oh my God, that’s amazing.” And he went, “I can do you one. What would you like? Would you like creatures of the animal kingdom?”
‘I said I liked birds and he replied, “I’ve done birds. I’ve got it in my book.” And he pointed down at a painting of a chicken upside down in a bucket. And I said, “No, I’m not having that.”
‘And then he said, “Maybe I should just do you.” And I thought, I’m not going to have a girl on my a***. So we decided to do a flock of birds.
‘I mean, it’s an original Freud. I wonder how much a collector would pay for that? A few million?
‘If it all goes horribly wrong I could get a skin graft and sell it! It’s probably the only one on skin that’s still around, because when he was in the navy he was about 19. Can you imagine?’ Dailymail reported.
