Billie Eilish is getting more comfortable showing off tattoos that fans once said she’d “never see”.
The “Bad Guy” singer has been slowly adding ink to his body over the past few years, but has always been wary of showing off his tattoos in public.
In 2020, the star, who had just turned 18 at the time, told Vanity Fair that she finally got her first tattoo, but vowed to hide it under her signature baggy outfits.
But oh, how times have changed. Below, see all of Eilish’s tattoos (so far) and learn more about their meanings.
“Eilish”
According to Rolling Stone, it took three years for Eilish to show the artwork to the world, as Eilish had his last name printed on his chest in “fancy, gothic font” the day after the grand awards ceremony at the 2020 Grammys.
“Yeah, I love myself,” Eilish told Vanity Fair about the meaning behind the then-unseen ink in 2021.
In June 2023, the star debuted in a rare bikini photo on Instagram to delight her fans.
Fairies
Eilish showcased this magical design on her left hand for the first time at the “No Time To Die” premiere in September 2021.
Later that year, in a Vanity Fair interview, she described the tattoo as “little guardian angel fairies” and added that the characters were “from a book I grew up in – a little fairy book called ‘Fairyopolis'”.
Dragon
Eilish had previously referred to the dragon climbing up her right thigh and hugging her hip as “the big boy” – and indeed the mythical creature is huge.
While the singer has never really shown everything at once, she first got a glimpse of the back in her lingerie-clad cover shoot for British Vogue in May 2021.
He was teased again at the 2021 Met Gala and later revealed the dragon’s head in a fiery Instagram selfie in May 2023.
For more Bottom Styles…
Although Eilish currently has three known tattoos, don’t expect her to debut full sleeves anytime soon.
“No, I won’t be completely messed up, but I have a few more ideas. I’m feeling pretty satisfied right now. He told Vanity Fair in 2021 that his mother “hates” tattoos.
But he promised, “Give me a little more time, and then I’ll get another one.”
