Elon Musk’s ex-girlfriend Grimes reveals latest ‘alien scar’ tattoo on her CHEST
Grimes has revealed her latest bizarre tattoo – an ‘alien scar’ on her chest.
The 35-year-old singer — who rose to prominence after dating and subsequently welcoming two children with Elon Musk — shared a photo of strange white spots in an Instagram post this weekend.
“Alien scars by @zhenja_tttr,” she wrote alongside a planet emoji, tagging tattoo artist Zhenja, as well as her new song “Welcome to the Opera.”
Grimes (née Claire Boucher) has added her latest body modification after previously revealing a desire to have surgery to give her “elf ears.”
For her latest change, Grimes was given a design that evoked fantasy and science fiction imagery.

The tattoo featured jagged, thorn-like bulges in mirror-image designs that somewhat resembled the ink blots of the Rorschach test.
The tattoo started just above her ankle and then continued past her kneecap on her thigh.
Although the design was quite abstract, it had an animalistic appearance thanks to claw-like edges.
The part of the tattoo on her thigh also resembled a bony bat wing, although it was quite stylized.

Love it: “V nice v nice,” she wrote in her Insta Stories post while tagging the artist. “Get a better pic when I’m free @caidasindesamparo.”

The size and intricacy of the design suggests that the inking was a lengthy process, but Grimes seemed gleeful about the results.
“V nice v nice,” she wrote in her Insta Stories post while tagging the artist. “Get a better pic when I’m free @caidasindesamparo.”
Grimes dressed grungy casual for her tattoo session in oddly shaped baggy gray corduroy pants, a loose-fitting black graphic T-shirt and white gym socks with green toe caps.
The musician, who recently suggested she could share royalties with anyone who uses her voice in AI-generated music, already has an extensive tattoo collection.

A photo of her opposite pant leg slightly pulled up revealed that she also has a huge tattoo on her other leg with thick markings reminiscent of Japanese calligraphy.
She’s been open lately about wanting to continue modifying her body, though her social media posts on the matter seem to indicate she’s only looking for a change and doesn’t have many specific procedures she wants to carry out.
After asking fans to imagine her facial modifications, she noted in August 2022 that she was planning to have “elf ear” surgery, which received a disapproving response from her ex Musk.
“The downside of elf ear surgery probably outweighs the benefits,” he wrote, after expressing all her fears about the durability of the procedure, as the cartilage in the ears is unlikely to grow back after surgery.
Outside of her acclaimed music, Grimes is best known to the general public for her past relationship with Twitter owner Elon Musk.
They started their relationship in 2018 and reportedly hooked up after learning that they both came up with the same pun on Twitter.
The ex-couple share two children, a son with the hard-to-pronounce name X Æ A-Xii, and a daughter named Exa Dark Sideræl.
However, their son is nicknamed X and their daughter is called Y (both pronounced like the letters).

They welcomed X in May 2020, and Grimes revealed in September 2021 that they were “semi-divorced,” though they still lived together as they raised their child.
In January 2022, she revealed that they were back together but “very fluid,” while also sharing that they welcomed Y via surrogate in December 2021.
The couple had broken up again as of March 2022
Grimes and Musk were forced to change their son’s original name, X Æ A-12, because a California law prohibited them from naming the child with numbers, although they changed it to a conforming Roman numeral version.
