Billie Eilish attends the 2023 Variety Hitmakers Brunch at NYA WEST on December 02, 2023 in Hollywood, California.
Billie Eilish made waves at the Variety Hitmakers event over the weekend, not only for her chic ensemble but also for a sneak peek of her latest ink.
On Saturday, the singer showcased a cursive tattoo on her abdomen that said "Hard" as she posed with peace signs over her head on the red carpet, sparking speculation about its significance.
This fresh ink joins Eilish's existing dragon tattoo on her left hip, previously teased during events like the 2021 Met Gala afterparty and a British Vogue shoot in June 2021, as reported by Page Six.
The singer, known to be private regarding tattoos, also has a "little guardian angel fairies" ink on her left hand, which she revealed in September 2021.

In the Variety profile published last month, the Grammy winner said she's "attracted to" women and intimidated by their beauty and presence.
"I love [women] so much. I love them as people. I'm attracted to them as people. I'm attracted to them for real," Eilish said.
Last month, the singer also spoke about her "internalized misogyny" and feelings of not fitting into conventional female roles.
During her speech at Variety's Power of Women event, Eilish opened up about her newfound pride in being a woman and expressed gratitude for the recognition she received.
In addition to her recent awards, Eilish is nominated for six Grammy Awards in the upcoming 2024 ceremony.
These accolades further solidify her position as one of the most-nominated acts despite not releasing a studio album this year.
As anticipation builds for the 66th annual Grammy Awards on Feb. 4 in Los Angeles, Eilish's nominations include record of the year, best pop solo performance, and best music video for "What Was I Made For?" from the "Barbie" soundtrack, as well as best pop duo/group performance for her collaboration with Labrinth, "Never Felt So Alone."
