LoveLetters Tattoo Tattoos

In March 2017 Grimes got a series of mystical symbols hand-poked on her left palm by artist Grace Neutral, who captioned her photo “Spells for Elves.”

On her index finger is the alchemy symbol for the planet Jupiter (♃), which is associated with thinking and learning.

We have not been able to identify the other symbols, which may be custom designs. Magical sigils can be created by combining the letters into a unique design.

The lines at the center of her palm bear some resemblance to the letter E in the old Irish Ogham alphabet, but it doesn’t have the same bend at the bottom.

Grimes got this huge brushstroke tattoo on the front of her left leg from London-based artist Delphine Noiztoy at LoveLetters tattoo parlor in Los Angeles in January 2017. The creative blackwork design stretches from just above her knee all the way onto the top of her foot. The brushstrokes spell out the letters “тихо” which means “quiet” in Russian.
