Grimes just unveiled her latest ink. and it s totally out of this world.
On Sunday (April 11), the musician revealed her huge new back tattoo on Instagram, describing the design as beautiful alien scars.
The all-white design features a complex web of lines that stretch from the Delete Forever
singer s shoulders all the way down to her tailbone. The piece is a work from artist Tweakt, which was then elaborated upon by the alien computer brain of Nusi Quero.
Quero detailed the process behind the tattoo design in an Instagram story. @tweakt Drew the base shapes on an iPad and then emailed me the image file, he explained. I turned it into 3D geometry, selected vertices on the shape, and guided and grew the embellishments along and around the shapes that he laid down first with a series of procedural operators (math rules) in a way that I felt spoke to his shapes, and @grimes.
