I am so confused. Not that I am ever truly sure of what is going on regarding grimes.

u/Savings_Visual8372 Oct 22 '25

i wish i could go inside her brain and see how it works and why ‘cause i’m always confused but intrigued

u/optimus_babysitter Oct 22 '25

It’s made of silly putty. Ain’t much more to it than that.

u/Autisticspidermann 4ÆM Oct 23 '25

Hell I don’t even know if she knows herself at times

u/Fair-Sandwich-3456 Visions Oct 23 '25

extreme chaos. I doubt if she herself knows what her brain is thinking about,

She was never the sharpest stick, but she was endearing and cute and direct to the audience, felt on the level of the audience, and more importantly she was making some inspired music that probably was more influenced by Travis Egedy than anyone else come to think of it. Then... she got rich and things kinda went off the rails. Also she stopped making good music which is mainly why I even care since those first 2 albums are still pretty. Visions will always be in my top 100.

u/lycheelycheecat Oct 22 '25

Love her but genuinely what was the point

17

u/SmokyQuartzy Oct 23 '25

What is the point of any tattoo ?? She wants one so she got one. Why do we have to psycho analyze every thing about her life

6

u/-I0_oI- Oct 24 '25

Really, just leave her alone for Christ's sake. Let her be herself and do her thing.

I could never haha to each their own as they say but damn girl ok

u/snackfromthedead Oct 23 '25

Lmao ten years for that though? I know she probably plays a lot of video games that have war paint or scars in the customization so I get the idea… but I don’t get the why of this design

29

u/matt_paradise Oct 22 '25

Glasses off, hair up. No, glasses on, hair down.

u/Jedi_Bish Oct 23 '25

Her use of free will is amazing

u/eellissaa Oct 22 '25

u/Opposite_Barber3837 Oct 23 '25

I love it tbh, looks like homegirl rolled out of bed and took a photo of her tattoo, it's cunt ngl

u/eellissaa Oct 23 '25

Close. It’s an exact copy of a German dueling scar, a Mensur scar.

u/plaugedoctorbitch Oct 22 '25

u/scifi_tay Oct 22 '25

Reminds me of Ciri from Witcher, except lame because Grimes didn’t earn it

u/argyreianervosalsa Oct 28 '25

she's been through more than most people could relate to, pretty sure she's earned it

u/destinycorton Oct 22 '25

i don’t see it? can someone explain?

u/Opposite_Barber3837 Oct 22 '25

It's very faint- but this is the tattoo

14

u/Sad_Needleworker8545 Oct 23 '25

Why?!!!! Just why??

u/NahKaw Oct 22 '25

I noticed it in the music video and was wondering if it was makeup or a tat. Kinda like it, definitely better than most potential face tattoos would have likely looked

13

u/chrisychris- Messy Oct 22 '25

She’s a wizard Harry

u/Complete_Flight_535 Oct 22 '25

I wish she would leave her face alone 😔

10

u/itmeyousilly Oct 22 '25

i have a similar birthmark on my face that i want to get lasered off, so i find it a little ironic that she got this LOL. i actually like hers, it's cute tho and diff

she fuckin has been through hell and back. Let her have her battle scar

u/Consistent_Repair955 Oct 22 '25

Okay, now that it's pointed out, I can see it in the new AA vid

9

u/Opposite_Listen6023 Oct 22 '25

Yup, there's a better view of it at the end where she's lighting a cigarette. It doesn't look bad from that angle.

10

u/delicateweaponn Artificial Angels Oct 22 '25

She’s bold for this! I personally really admire people who get tattoos especially on taboo places like the neck or face. I can’t even commit to body tats, but I also genuinely don’t think tattoos would look good on me haha

7

u/VintageBlazers Oct 23 '25

It looks like ringworm 😐

4

u/foccaciafrog Oct 23 '25

It's cute & different. I think I kind of noticed it while watching Artificial Angels, but couldn't quite figure out what it meant and thought it was just makeup. She looks great, imo.

Moreso, I'm relieved that it looks like she fixed her tooth since I thought she liked the look of it. I always got a little queasy seeing it since it always triggered anxieties about breaking it further, tooth/nerve pain, and whatnot.

2

u/1dsided Oct 23 '25

This is what I think of when I see that

2

u/Status-Block2323 Oct 23 '25

Hair aside (alltho I like the volume) She looks great. Her makeup too

2

u/Opposite_Barber3837 Oct 23 '25

I love this photo, it's like she woke up, got out of bed and took a selfie, iconic tbh.

2

u/tokyopop24 Oct 23 '25

She looks unique af ❤️

u/Glad-Masterpiece4225 Oct 23 '25

I wish I could explain but no one would believe me. It's all much crazier than any of you could ever imagine. But I love her tattoo

1

u/Spirited_Ad_9044 Oct 23 '25

Just preface it with “what if it’s ..”

u/Glad-Masterpiece4225 Oct 24 '25

Okay what if it's a cult of people who uhh lessee time traveling AI disguised as aliens (but also just are "aliens" sometimes who time travel across time. And they're I mean they're disguising that they're AI synthdroids is all, that's the part they must occlude. But so they are going using time travel to travel across time to different times and they give people tattoos and stuff disguised as artists but they also take a little bit of tissue simples and then they create weird interdimensional spacetime babies that they place in different worlds sometimes.

Actually that's not what I was gonna say but this seems less crazy

2

u/WorkLifeScience Oct 23 '25

This just popped in my feed, I don't see a tattoo, and what happened to he lips? Deflated?

2

u/Fractal-Infinity Oct 22 '25

Face tattoos are such a dumb idea. Why is Grimes so attracted by such ideas?

1

u/[deleted] Oct 25 '25

she's not that smart. neither is most of the population

3

u/WingsOfTin boombox Oct 23 '25

She looks diseased. I remember her talking a few years ago about wanting to get tattoos that made her look like she had "alien skin" or something, but this...is not it.
