American blogger and columnist Perez Hilton recently shared his reaction after Canadian singer and songwriter Grimes unveiled a new tattoo this week. On Wednesday, October 22, the 37-year-old took to the social media platform Instagram and shared a dead-eyed selfie revealing her new ink to fans.“Spent like ten years emotionally working up to a face tattoo but I guess I drew on my face too much and literally no one noticed, not even my parents, not even after the video lol,” Grimes wrote.While her new tattoo appeared to be a faint pink-like circle around her eye, the artist quipped in her post:“That said I think @glyphomancer is onto something truly novel and innovative with her work esp on face tats- there’s a true beauty, delicacy, and innovation here imo. Feel like tats are in a crazy renaissance period that’s sort of under appreciated atm.” View this post on Instagram Instagram PostMeanwhile, after the Genesis artist posted the picture of her face tattoo, Perez Hilton shared his thoughts in his blog.
