Grimes Leaves Fans ‘So Confused’ With New Face Tattoo

The tattoo, crafted by artist Glyphomancer, specializes in cybersigilism tattoos, combining ancient sigil symbolism with a cyberpunk aesthetic. Grimes has embraced this modern tattoo movement, stating, “I think @glyphomancer is onto something truly novel and innovative with her work esp on face tats— there’s a true beauty, delicacy, and innovation here imo.”

She also noted, “Feel like tats are in a crazy renaissance period that’s sort of under appreciated atm.”

In a follow-up post on X, she commented, “Idky this face tattoo is imperceptible but just for the record it’s my fave tat.”

Fans took to the comments section to express their bewilderment and amusement. One user admitted to being “shook” by the subtle tattoo, while another quipped, “Is the face tattoo in the room with us??”

A third harshly compared it to “ringworm,” and a fourth joked about pasta shape preferences, saying, “What’s ur favorite pasta noodle shape?”

Despite the confusion, many fans embraced the unique look, with one stating, “I love it especially with the blonde hair,” while another praised it, saying, “It looks so great on youuu.” Comments like “I dig it” and “Gorgeous like always” flooded in from supporters appreciating the artistic choice.

Grimes, who shares three children with ex Elon Musk, debuted a red ink leg tattoo in 2023 and has previously expressed her desire to be “totally covered” in “alien” tattoos. Three years ago, she hinted at face ink, posing a question in a now-deleted selfie: “I am very seriously considering getting a white ink tattoo on my face next week. Any thoughts? It feels like it’s time.”

With this new addition, Grimes joins a growing list of celebrities, including Justin Bieber, Amanda Bynes, and Post Malone, who have embraced face tattoos in their own distinctive styles.
