Grimes Shows Off 'Alien Scar' Tattoos As She Promotes Her New Song

Grimes is embracing her desire to have a complete "alien body!"

The Canadian singer, Claire Elise Boucher, known for her avant-garde style, continues her quest to embrace an otherworldly aesthetic by unveiling her latest addition of tattoos in a recent Instagram post. With her latest artistic choice, the star pushes the boundaries of self-expression while promoting new music. 

In a captivating close-up snapshot, the songwriter confidently flaunted her unconventional style. Going topless, she proudly showcased a series of white scar-like tattoos in the form of futuristic letters adorning her collarbone. 

Sporting heavy blush on her cheeks and eyelids, she struck an open-mouthed pose, revealing a chipped tooth. The 35-year-old captioned the post, "Alien scars by @zhenja_tttr ?," and invited her fans to explore her latest song. 

As expected, fans quickly camped under the comments, with one fan suggesting, "I vote this as the album cover for one of the books, at the very least in one of the timelines."

Expressing their eagerness, another fan pleaded, "I need ur new album now, please," while another found common ground between them, playfully remarking, "Chipped tooth twin." A supporter appreciated Grimes' unique persona, stating, "She loves being so special ❤️ And I appreciate that so much ?." 

On the same day, the mother-of-two captivated her followers by unveiling her eerie red leg design. The intricate art featured a web of tangled lines that stretched from her ankle up to her thigh, covering a significant portion of her shin and knee. 

In the snaps, she appeared in a hoodie in some slides and a matching bra top in others, sporting heavy winged eyeliner and shimmery shadow on her lids and under her eyes. Alongside the self-portraits, she delved into details about her latest song and teased a forthcoming music video in the caption, writing,

"Altho I do genuinely love and adore this song ngl, @anyma - if I ever get to do a video for it rly feeling some sci-fi phantom of the opera thing where I'm the phantom, and we're the only two ppl left on a giant spacecraft that's lost contact. Like toxic horror pseudo-Victorian gay space romance." 

In addition, she raved about her tattoo, disclosing that she "got a bunch of amazing pics of it," describing it as a "masterpiece." The "Geidi Primes" singer's music promotion comes after revealing that she had cut ties with her record label Columbia Records after three years. 

Despite her departure from the company, The Blast reported that the "Visions" artist took to Twitter to express her enthusiasm for artificial intelligence (A.I.) and confirm her departure from the music company. 

On her official account, she posted a screenshot of an article that addressed fake hits by Drake and The Weekend, made using A.I. She expressed her thoughts about the matter, writing:

"I'll split 50% royalties on any successful AI-generated song that uses my voice. Same deal as I would with any artist I collab with. Feel free to use my voice without penalty. I have no label and no legal bindings."

The "Shinigami Eyes" singer added, "I think it's cool to be fused w [SIC] a machine, and I like the idea of open-sourcing all art and killing copyright."

Last September, The Blast shared that after teasing her followers on social media about her plans for body modifications, which included the desire for elf ears, the electropop star unveiled a new look via her Twitter page. 

Sharing the surprising update, Grimes exclaimed, "I did smthn crazy!" accompanied by a photo of her post-surgery face, partially hidden by a hospital gown. 

Her ears were concealed by bandages, fueling speculation about potential ear modifications. Adding to the intrigue were pink patches on her face, drawing attention while her eyes remained closed in the snapshot.

Although she did not respond to the numerous inquiries about her procedure, the "Saturday Night Live" guest star revealed that she had completed her album at the plastic surgery clinic.

She humorously described it as the "most Hollywood moment of all time" while contemplating releasing the album as "BOOK 1 and 2." Grimes further mentioned receiving a "mix back" for "the infinite assassin" and planned to review them once her babies were asleep.
