Canadian musician Grimes, known for her avant-garde style and boundary-pushing aesthetics, has unveiled a new face tattoo that has quickly become a topic of discussion among fans and the media.
On October 22, Grimes shared a selfie showcasing a subtle, pinkish circular tattoo surrounding her left eye. She explained that she had “spent like ten years emotionally working up to a face tattoo,” noting that despite her anticipation, “literally no one noticed, not even my parents.”
The tattoo was created by Los Angeles-based artist Glyphomancer, who specializes in a style known as “cybersigilism.” This approach blends ancient symbolism with futuristic aesthetics, resulting in designs that are both innovative and delicate. Grimes expressed admiration for Glyphomancer’s work, describing it as “truly novel and innovative” and praising the current “renaissance” in tattoo artistry.
Reactions to the tattoo have been varied. Some fans have praised the design for its subtlety and artistic merit, while others have compared it to a ringworm infection, leading to a mix of humorous and critical comments online.
This new addition to Grimes’ collection of body art reflects her ongoing exploration of self-expression and her willingness to challenge conventional beauty standards.
