Tata was selected from Louis Tussaud’s Waxworks Pattaya to be one of 10 Thai icons (such as Bird Thongchai McIntyre and Paradorn Srichaphan) which will be among the 60 international celebrities to be immortalised at the soon-to-open Pattaya waxworks museum.

Tata jokingly said “Make sure you make me look skinny” to three artists from Silpakorn University (Thailand’s leading university in fine arts) and a photographer.

The artists took hundreds of measurements and photos of her to ensure her wax figure would be lifelike. The tattoos on her neck (her late mother’s name, Bunchorn, written in Thai), wrist (a star as she’s a superstar) and ankle (a butterfly as she travels a lot) were also photographed.

Not photographed were tattoos on her belly (her name) and her back (a clef).
