Grimes’s Tattoos and Their Meanings

Grimes’s “8” Tattoo

On the back of Grimes’s left hand is an outline of the digit “8,” which she did herself. It’s her lucky number, and she also has a track titled “Eight” on her 2012 album “Visions.”

Grimes’s “Beautiful” Tattoo

The word “Beautiful” is inked in cursive font on the back of Grimes’ left hand, below her knuckles. “I was in New Zealand playing a show, and this guy said, “I’ll give you a free tattoo if I can come to your show,” she told Teen Vogue.

Despite the spur-of-the-moment nature of this ink, it holds significance to Grimes, nonetheless. The singer told Rolling Stone in a 2020 chat that the word was a tribute to the 2002 namesake Christina Aguilera song.

Grimes’s Greek Meander Tattoo

She has decorative Greek meander lines inked on her left index finger and two black bands that wrap around her pinky finger — both of which are DIY creations. However, both these finger tattoos are now covered with the Elvish script she placed over them.

Grimes’s Alien Head Tattoo

Grimes also gave herself an alien head tattoo on the back of her left hand, just below her thumb. She attributed this design to her belief in aliens. A tiny stick figure swinging its limbs can also be seen above the alien head.

Grimes’s Geometrical Middle Finger Tattoo

In Nov 2016, artist Delphine Noiztoy tattooed an intricate concentric geometric pattern on Grimes’s middle finger. “Swollen middle finger,” the tattooist captioned an Instagram post showing off the fresh ink.

Grimes’s Crescent Thumb Tattoo

An outline of a crescent moon is located on Grimes’s left thumb.
