Doja Cat could also be leaning toward Doja Bat along with her recent back tattoo!

The “Boss Bitch” rapper, 27, posted photos Thursday on Instagram of her recent ink, an intricate fine-line tattoo of a bat skeleton that spans her entire upper back.

Within the photo series, simply captioned with a bat emoji, Doja Cat shared some close-up captures of her recent piece and its stunning detail.

As for the meaning behind the body art, the style icon posted a shot of some text with some specific lines highlighted in purple. “Bats often represent death within the sense of letting go of the old, and bringing in the brand new. They’re symbols of transition, of initiation, and the beginning of a recent starting.”

On Monday, the “Must Know” singer boldly commanded Latest York City’s annual Met Gala by dressing as Karl Lagerfeld’s legendary beloved cat, Choupette. The theme of this yr’s famed fashion event, “Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty,” celebrated the late designer.

The artist hit the event’s white carpet wearing a jaw-dropping Oscar de la Renta ensemble, featuring a figure-fitting hooded gown, complete with cat ears to accent her feline-like prosthetic makeup. The backless dress featured a flattering mermaid silhouette that flowed right into a white feathered train.

Doja Cat has been feeling increasingly free ever since she transformed her overall look last yr. As a canopy star of Dazed magazine’s Winter 2022 The Beautiful Issue, the Los Angeles native, whose real name is Amala Ratna Zandile Dlamini, expressed how her buzz cut — and shaved eyebrows — helped her feel more confident.

“I even have never felt more beautiful in my entire life, which may be very strange,” Doja Cat told the outlet in her cover story, despite jokingly comparing her close-shaved head to a “wrinkly penis” at first glance.

Noting that longer hairstyles made her feel like a “hot girl” — “but I at all times do,” she admitted — letting go of her locks got here with many upsides.

“There’s something so exhilarating about change; [it] showed me a unique side of myself. I feel so recent, fresh and sexy. I also feel higher without make-up: having this bare head and so little make-up is a fun experience. It’s recent, and I adore it,” she added.
