Doja Cat turned heads at the 2024 Grammys with yet another outlandish outfit which, this time, was accompanied by some new ink.
The Scarlet rapper attended the awards show, which were held in Los Angeles on Sunday (February 4), wearing a mostly see-through dress that revealed a number of tattoos all over her body.

On her forehead Doja had tattooed the name of Turkish-British fashion designer Dilara Findikoglu, who made her dress.
On her cheek she had tattooed “Akermo,” who is a Swedish tattoo artist known for his high-profile clients in the sport and entertainment industries.

Other tattoos visible include a cathedral across her chest and a sun on her throat.
Doja’s dress, meanwhile, was positioned so that a potion of her nipples were on show.
The 28-year-old was nominated for three awards — Best Rap Song (“Attention”), Best Melodic Rap Performance (“Attention”) and Best Pop Solo Performance — but lost in each category.
While it has yet to be be confirmed, it is not believed the tattoos are permanent as Doja Cat posted a photo on Friday (February 2) without all of the extra ink.
Though the outlandish tattoos may not be permanent, the “Paint the Town Red” hitmaker already has her fair share of ink despite only getting her first tat in 2022.

One of her recent additions was of a large bat on her back which she said was inspired by death.
Alongside a picture of the tattoo, she posted a screenshot about the meaning of bats, saying they “often represent death in the sense of letting go of the old and bringing in the new. They are symbols of transition, of initiation and the start of a new beginning.”
Some of Doja Cat’s ink has been met with backlash, particularly her tattoo of a scaled animal amalgamated with female genitalia.
Expressing concern that Doja’s work would be inspired by the Devil, one X user wrote: “What’s the point of writing your music and creating something if it isn’t considered timeless?! I HOPE THAT THIS ALBUM has no demonic influence. If it does, not worth listening to. I said what I said. If you don’t like it, take your grievances to @god and @jesus.”

“Slay girl yas,” Doja wrote in response sarcastically.
Another critic added: “I show up when it’s time for their soul to GO TO HELL. Now play on that @dojacat, the only person in a ritual putting demonic shit on my page,” to which Doja replied: “Honestly werk.”
The L.A. native is no stranger to creating headlines on the red carpet. She turned up to the 2023 Met Gala dressed as a cat which was apparently a tribute to Karl Lagerfeld’s feline friend Choupette.
