Grimes got a huge alien scars tattoo on her back: kind of cool or very unsettling?

June 2024 · 2 minute read

Last year, the gossip world paid attention to Elon Musk and Grimes, as they welcomed a baby boy they named X Æ A-12 Musk. It was… a lot. Elon continues to be the worst, so most people with a casual gossip interest in him just moved on. Grimes had the opportunity to rebrand herself or, you know, just stop being so try-hard. But she’s still trying to be that fake-nerd Cool Girl that he apparently wants. And so this happened… Grimes got “alien scar” tattoos on her back. She posted the photo of her new tattoos on her Instagram, and the “co-designer” of the tattoo tweeted this:

Last night we co-designed a full back tattoo (w my brilliant friend Tweakz) for @Grimezsz. It was half hand drawn then half procedurally generated, then they banged out the whole thing in 1 go. Such a beautiful experience and talisman 4 her world. Electric energy is abuzz. 1/3 pic.twitter.com/5bsHCsaemI

The procedural point advection simulation over Tweakz design. I loved the fluid process on this like the whole thing happened in like 3-4 hours. Amazing to participate in and witness. 2/3 pic.twitter.com/A1fLKlqmKv

The first thing this reminded me of – and I know, it’s BAD – is that scene in Glory, where Denzel Washington’s character takes off his shirt and you can see the old scarring from where he was whipped. Elon Musk is a white South African, I’m just saying. Also, the tattoo is ugly. Her body, her choice, etc. But damn, that’s just an ugly tattoo.

And of course she has blonde hair now. Elon likes his women to go white-blonde.
