Grimes' New Face Ink: A Decade in the Making

Grimes has always been a trendsetter in the world of body art. Her latest addition? A new face tattoo that even her parents missed at first glance.

A History of Bold Choices

This isn't her first rodeo when it comes to tattoos. She already has a striking red, alien-inspired piece covering her entire right leg, done by the talented Daniela.

Back in 2022, Grimes shared her dream list of body modifications. She talked about wanting vampire teeth and elf ears. She even said she would spend the next few years making these dreams a reality. Well, it looks like she's checking off another item from her list with this new face tattoo.

The Big Reveal

She shared a selfie on Instagram, revealing her new ink. In the caption, she mentioned spending about ten years mentally preparing for this moment. She joked that she draws on her face so much that no one noticed the new tattoo, not even her parents. She even referenced her new music video for "Artificial Angels," which was released earlier this week.

Praise for the Artist

Grimes also praised the tattoo artist, Glyphomancer, for their innovative work. She believes that tattoos are going through a creative renaissance that isn't getting the attention it deserves. She even apologized for the quality of the selfie, saying she had to find one without makeup to avoid blurring the ink.

Mixed Reactions

Not everyone was a fan of her new tattoo. Some people in the comments section had strong opinions. But Grimes isn't one to let criticism stop her from expressing herself.
