Billie Eilish flashes VERY rare glimpse at dragon tattoo on her hip

Girl with the dragon tattoo! Billie Eilish offers a VERY rare glimpse of dramatic ink on her hip as she flashes her stomach and belly piercing in cheeky Instagram video

  • The Bad Guy singer posted an unusually candid selfie on her Instagram
  • Billie has been outspoken about her body image issues over the years, telling Vogue earlier this year that she “felt like her body exposed her for years”
  • The pop star got her ink at some point between 2019 and 2020, having sported the belly bling since she was a teenager

Billie Eilish gave fans a very rare glimpse of a large dragon tattoo on her right hip on Thursday, posting a slinky selfie video showing her showing her midriff in a form-fitting crop top.

The Bad Guy singer, 21, also flaunted a silver belly button piercing.

Both the all-black tat and belly bling have been largely hidden from the public eye thanks to the pop star’s well-known preference for baggy sweatshirts and oversized T-shirts.

A single dazzling emoji as the caption echoed the print on her shirt: the iconic cherub, staring upwards with his chin in hand, as seen in Renaissance painter Raphael’s masterpiece Sistine Madonna.

In the roughly 4-second clip, the Grammar winner appeared to be in a locker room somewhere as she pouted for the camera as she slowly slid into a chair.

‘Hot’, as Vanessa Hudgens concisely put it in the comments.

Billie’s post was especially noteworthy because she seemingly vowed to keep the tattoo in a 2020 interview with Vanity Fair.

While admitting to VF that she got new ink sometime in the year before, she added, “you’ll never see it.”

But it wasn’t long before she apparently changed her mind, as evidenced by the September 2021 photo she shared of herself at that month’s Met Gala.

The billowing, burgundy Oscar de la Renta number she donned to the star event featured a leg split, exposing the lower part of the dainty tattoo on her thigh.

As for her belly button piercing, a Billie posted a Snapchat in mid-2018 with a stud in her belly button, indicating that she’s been wearing the body jewelry since she was at least 16 years old.

In California, her home state, anyone under the age of 18 may get any piercing (except in the “nipples or genitals”) with a parent or legal guardian present.

Billie’s latest selfie video suggests she’s embracing a more confident attitude about her body image — she’s been open about her struggles with her looks for years.

In January this year, the singer candidly admitted that she “hated herself” during her teenage years, explaining that her “anger towards her body” caused her immense “pain”.

“Going through my teenage years of hating myself and all this stupid stuff,” she said during an interview with Fashion.

“A lot of it came from my anger towards my body, and how angry I was about how much pain it has caused me, and what I’ve lost because of things that have happened to it…

“I felt like my body was playing tricks on me for years. I had to go through a process of being, my body is actually me. And it’s not out to get me.’

Billie’s unusual skin-baring selfie comes just weeks after it was announced she had split with now-ex-boyfriend, The Neighborhood frontman Jesse Rutherford, 31.

The duo started dating around October 2022 and went Instagram official in November.

It is estimated that the pair had first met sometime around 2017, when Billie was just 15 years old, which made many of her fans uncomfortable with the now-former couple’s nearly 11-year age difference.
