Grimes Shares Footage Of Herself Getting Huge New Back Tattoo

Grimes has shared an insight into the tattooing process for her huge 'alien scars' inspired tattoo. Watch below:

Posting on her Instagram Stories, Grimes - real name Claire Elise Boucher - showed off the design process the artist carried out beforehand, as well as some footage of herself during the tattooing process.

And fair play, she must be nails because she looks to be taking it all in her stride.

The musician shared a first-look at her huge new tattoo yesterday, posting on her Instagram: "Full back in white ink by @tweakt w sum help from the alien computer brain of @nusi_quero.

"Don't have a good pic cuz it hurts too much and I need to sleep haha, and it'll be red for a few wks, but gna be beautiful alien scars.

"Hope everyone's having a good day."

The singer's followers have rushed to compliment the new etching, with one posting: "Siiick."

Another wrote: "Gorgeous. Amazing. Out of this world."

A third commented: "Absolutely gorgeous work."

Grimes already has numerous tattoos covering her skin, but this new back piece is by far the biggest.

The alien-theme could possibly be a little nod to the fact that she's previously said she'd be happy to be sent off to Mars to help colonise the planet, even if it involved 'manual labour until death'.

And let's be honest, being the partner of SpaceX boss Elon Musk puts her in a very good position to actualise that particular dream.

Musk, who shares son X Æ A-Xii with Grimes, said he reckons we'll have people on Mars in the next six years or so.

In December, he told the Axel Springer Award ceremony in Berlin: "I feel fairly confident about six years from now.

"The Earth-Mars synchronisation occurs roughly every 26 months, so we had one this year, in the summer.

"That means in roughly two years there'll be another one, and then two years after that.

"So I think six years from now, highly confident, if we get lucky, maybe four years. And then we want to try to send an un-crewed vehicle there in two years."

Musk has previously revealed his plans to send one million people to Mars by 2050, announcing that he would be launching three Starship rockets every day while creating 'a lot of jobs'.
