Personal life
Erichsen was educated at Frederiksberg Gymnasium.[3] She was discovered on the streets of her native Denmark by a modeling agent passing by in a taxi.[4]
Her favorite musicians are PJ Harvey, and the Danish group Kira and the Kindred Spirits.[5] Erichsen notably has 12 tattoos, the first of which she got at age 16, including various script, a revolver, and the word "float" on the side of her neck. She has said that her tattoos do not affect her work and are easily concealed, having made a deal with her agent, she can have "as many tattoos as she wants" as long as she doesn't cut her hair. [6]
