Phoebe Bridgers's Collection of Tattoos Is Expertly Hidden

Updated on June 21, 2023 at 12:35 PM

Phoebe Bridgers has an ever-growing collection of tattoos, but you wouldn't know it by just looking at her. The singer has a handful of designs expertly hidden along her arms, fingers, and torso. It's hard to catch a glimpse of the ink when she's on the red carpet unless she's wearing something strapless and sleeveless, but occasionally, she'll share an up-close snap on Instagram or show them off while performing on stage.

Many of Bridgers's designs are '90s inspired and showcase her unique personality. In January 2021, she got a statement piece of a sword stabbing a piece of paper. She explained on Instagram that she got the design after a fan gifted her the object and someone else got a tattoo inspired by it. In May 2022, the singer signed off on the old school, '90s barbed wire tattoo trend by getting a bicep tattoo from celebrity tattooist Dr. Woo. Her delicate, fine line barbed-wire design wraps around her upper arm, just above a few of her other designs. More recently, in June 2023, she got a hip tattoo of what appears to be veining or a spiderweb — she hasn't shared the meaning behind the design.

And that's only just the beginning. Keep reading to learn more about Bridgers's tattoo collection.
