With a new reality-TV series [2], upcoming album [3], shapewear line [4], and now, a fresh tattoo under her belt, Lizzo [5] has had quite the busy month. On March 30, shortly after announcing Yitty, a shapewear brand named after a childhood nickname, the "About Damn Time" [6] singer finally unveiled her new (temporary) ink, a tattoo on her butt reading "Yitty" in the same font as the brand's logo. In a photo posted to her Instagram [7], she showed off the tattoo while wearing underwear from the collection and even sported matching nails.
Prior to the reveal, Lizzo [8] teased both the tattoo and her new endeavour, offering a sneak peek [9] on her Instagram on Tuesday. In the video, a friend is seen pulling a temporary sheet off her skin, but the clip cuts out before the full word is shown. "I CANT WAIT TO SHOW YALL MY NEW ASS TATTOO— UNTIL THEN U GOTTA PRE-SAVE *MY NEW SONG* 'ABOUT DAMN TIME,'" she wrote. At the time, fans guessed she'd gotten a decal of her album release date or the name of her upcoming album.
For non-tattooers like Lizzo — who has no visible tats — or those who have commitment issues, temporary iterations [10] are the perfect solution, and there are plenty of brands out there that specialise in the art. At the Off-White show in Paris earlier this month, Kaia Gerber and Kendall Jenner were among the many models on the runway with fake face decals [11] under their eyes. Ahead, get a closer look at Lizzo's new ink.
