Paris Jackson covers up over 80 tattoos at the Grammys: 'In love with my alter ego'

Paris Jackson underwent a major transformation at the 2024 Grammys on Sunday night.

The 25-year-old musician covered up all of her tattoos for the night and went with a blank canvas to compliment her black Celine gown.

"It's all Celine head to toe with my own jewelry and covered all the tattoos," she told Entertainment Tonight, adding that the process "took a few hours."

Jackson, who is estimated to have over 80 tattoos, told the outlet she wanted to switch things up for the evening. "I love my tattoos, I love my piercings, I love all the body modification stuff, art, and also sometimes I don't want it to distract from the art that is the fashion I'm wearing," she explained. "And it gives the dress it's own moment, you know?"

The "American Horror Story" actress shared a video on Instagram Sunday as makeup artists covered up the ink with Cover FX's total cover cream foundation.

"in love with my alter ego," she wrote in another post.

Among Jackson's body art is the cover of her late father Michael Jackson's 1991 album "Dangerous," one-half of a yin and yang symbol with her brother Prince Jackson and several other matching ones with friends.

"I have friendship tattoos with at least 10 people," she told Glamour UK in 2022.

When it comes to her love for body art, Jackson said, "I've always been interested in (tattoos). I used to get uniform violations in school – I was probably 13 or 14 – because I used to write all over myself with a permanent marker." Those markings included "song lyrics and band logos."

At the time of the Glamour UK interview, the singer said some of her most recent tattoos were of "a dragon, a koi fish, the sun, the moon (and) an eyeball."
