Doja Cat Previously Responded To Similar Criticism
While on the subject, we should note that Doja Cat recently addressed speculation about another tattoo.
After showing off an arm tatt featuring a chimera-like creature, some users got the heebie-jeebies.
This prompted Doja to share further context about how the tattoo was based on a work by 17th-century physician Fortunio Liceti.
She captioned the post, “Your fear is not my problem.”
Roommates, what do you think of Doja’s new ink?
