For years, dainty, delicate tattoos were the celebrity obsession, with things like stars, hearts, and butterflies dotting their wrists, forearms, and ankles like freckles. But now, a much more dramatic tattoo trend is on the rise.
First, there was Lady Gaga with that rose tattoo that spanned from the middle of her neck straight down her spine. Now, we have Halle Berry posting an Instagram to show off yet another massive back tattoo. And this time, it’s a vine (or maybe it’s seaweed) that goes straight down her spine. "Who says Iām not a mermaid," she wrote on Instagram, giving us no hints to who did the ink or if it’s even real.
For now, the origins of the tattoo are a mystery, since Berry didn’t tag a particular tattoo artist. Given the dramatic nature of the picture ā which has Berry posing as if she’s cooking topless (we wouldn’t recommend!) ā it may very well be a fun, temporary tat. Though, we do know that Berry has at least one other tattoo: a sunflower on her butt covering her ex-husband’s name.
Looking at her upcoming movie roles, which include a MMA fighter in Bruised and a lawyer in Jagged Edge, neither would necessarily call for a fake tattoo. So we’re leaning towards the theory that Berry has just been feeling particularly daring, and this spinal tattoo is proof.
Refinery29 has reached out to Berry’s representative and will update this post when we hear back.
