Doja Cat may be leaning towards Doja Bat with her new back tattoo!
The 27-year-old “Boss Bitch” rapper posted photos of his new ink on Instagram on Thursday; this is an intricate thin line tattoo of a bat skeleton covering his entire back.
In a series of captioned photos with simply a bat emoji, Doja Cat shared some close-ups and stunning details of her new piece.
As for the meaning behind body art, the style icon posted an image of some text and some specific lines were highlighted in purple. “Bats often represent death in the sense of letting go of the old and bringing in the new. They are symbols of transition, initiation and the beginning of a new beginning.”

The artist hit the event’s white carpet in a jaw-dropping Oscar de la Renta suit, featuring a fitted hoodie, complete with cat ears to accentuate her cat-like prosthetic make-up. The backless dress featured a flattering mermaid silhouette flowing into a train of white feathers.

Realizing that longer hairstyles made her feel like a “hot girl”—”but I always do,” she admitted—letting her curls go had many advantages.
“There is something very exciting about change; [it] It showed me a different side of me. I feel so new, fresh and sexy. I also feel better without makeup: It’s a fun experience to be bareheaded with so little makeup. It’s new and I love it,” she added.
