"I'm not inclined to trust anything that comes from the mouth of Grimes (née Claire Boucher). I mean, this is a woman who not only willingly dated Elon Musk (which included dates to his Tesla factory in Fremont, California, and "rapid-fire" Lord of the Rings trivia), but procreated with him. Three times! But that doesn't mean I don't treat the singer's many musings (her experimental eyeball surgery to cure seasonal depression, for instance) like an anthropological study."
"On Wednesday, Grimes posted a selfie showing off her new face tattoo. But it's not just any old ink. The tattoo (a semi-circle over her left eye) was done by something called a cybersigilism tattoo artist, known as Glyphomancer. Cybersigilism, upon a quick Google search, is a style of tattooing that marries ancient symbolism with futuristic aesthetics. Tracks! "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,""
"According to Grimes, she had to "spend like ten years emotionally working up to" the tattoo for virtually nothing as no one immediately noticed it: "I guess I drew on my face too much and literally no one noticed, not even my parents..." So, not only does the tattoo look like a fungal infection or a deep scratch, but Grimes' own family didn't even notice it. I hope she doesn't take too hard a look at her life."
Grimes shared a selfie of a new face tattoo created by a cybersigilism artist known as Glyphomancer. The tattoo is a semi-circle above her left eye and is described as blending ancient symbolism with futuristic aesthetics. Grimes praised the artist's innovation and suggested tattoos are in a renaissance. She said she emotionally prepared for the tattoo for years and that almost no one noticed it initially, including her parents. Reactions included skepticism and comparisons to infections or scratches, while the post emphasized delicate, novel face-tat work and renewed interest in tattoo culture.
