In April of last year, Grimes shared on her Instagram account the final result of a painful and long session in the tattoo artist’s chair to show the lines of white ink that covered her back, from her shoulder blades to her hips.
It was a design she had created with the help of artist Tweakt and digital designer Nusi Quero to mimic what she imagines the scars of an alien being look like.
At that time, he assured that his intention was to cover his entire body with those marks, and he was not kidding. She has now added a large tattoo that covers much of her ribcage, following a pattern that curves under her breasts and up her sternum.
“The long and hard process to achieve a completely alien body. I’m going to end up completely covered in white ink”, she explained in her Stories.
At the time Grimes explained that the reddish hue of the tattoos would disappear over time to make way for one more whitish that is better camouflaged with your skin and that really reminds you of the scar of an old wound.
