Biography of Minki van der Westhuizen
Minki van der Westhuizen is a Dutch model who gained fame in 2010 for a very unusual tattoo. Minki introduced the most expensive tattoo in the world, developed by South African jewelry company 'Shimansky', the brainchild of Yair Shimansky. The cost of this temporary tattoo was $924,000, made of pure diamonds weighing half a carat each. It was attached with a special water-based glue to avoid causing harm to the skin. It is known that the masters of the company spent 8 hours working on the temporary tattoo, placing it on the girl's back. The diamonds are glued in the form of a intricate floral pattern, covering Minki's right shoulder blade and descending down her shoulder. The 612 diamonds attached to Minki's back shimmer and sparkle, creating a sense of unreal beauty and a touch of extreme. Indeed, the tattoo looks very unusual and "expensive" - even the most uninformed individuals can understand that artificial stones or fakes are not involved. This temporary tattoo was named the most expensive tattoo in the world, without any equivalents. After the expiration of the tattoo's duration, the diamonds were carefully removed from the model's body using a specially developed solvent that did not damage the girl's skin or the expensive stones. Among the clients of the jewelry company 'Shimansky' are Charlize Theron, Bill Clinton, Christina Aguilera, Lee Ryan, and many other celebrities. In general, this company has repeatedly surprised the world with its expensive and unique decorations, such as a set of lingerie with studded diamonds. Later, the masters started developing diamond tattoos, which can be customized according to the client's desires. Of course, such expensive tattoos are only for the chosen and very wealthy people, but the concept of a luxurious temporary tattoo is interesting in itself, as the diamond pattern can be changed. By the way, for those who cannot afford to adorn their back with real precious stones, the diamonds can be artificial. Minki van der Westhuizen became the first to showcase such an extravagant accessory to the world and is an ambassador for the 'Shimansky' company.
