Rising singer Kenzie Ziegler, formerly of Dance Moms, has turned heads with her latest promotional stunt—tattooed tan lines—creatively unveiled to coincide with the release of her new single, “Tan Lines.”
A Bold Move for a Bold Single
In a TikTok video that has gone viral, Kenzie showcased a behind-the-scenes glimpse of her extensive ink session with Los Angeles-based tattoo artist Christian Delacruz. Using stencils and cream-colored (white) ink, the artist tattooed faint bikini-like outlines across her chest and clavicle—mimicking tan lines from a swimsuit top . The video has racked up over 10 million views, provoking an internet frenzy .
Fans React: Shock, Humor, Confusion
The comments section exploded with reactions ranging from astonishment to amusement:
“Please tell me it’s not permanent”
“Kenzie, my precious angel, please tell me you’re joking”
Some speculated humorously: “It’s foundation divas”, while others questioned the authenticity of the needle contact .
As of now, neither Kenzie nor her tattoo artist have confirmed whether the tan-line ink is permanent—but Kenzie has liked several comments, fueling speculation even further .
A Visual Echo of Her Music
The inked tan lines are more than just a quirky statement—they mirror the cover art for her single “Tan Lines”, which visually features bikini bottom shapes and exposed lines. The bold marketing move aligns the aesthetic of her music with her personal presentation .
More Than a Meme: A New Chapter in Her Artistic Journey
At 21, Kenzie is steadily reshaping her musical persona. Her earlier album “Phases” (2018) and her more recent “biting my tongue” (2024) reflected introspective shifts in her artistry . She’s also opened for Mark Ambor’s North American tour, further cementing her presence in the music scene .
Fans of her emotionally honest tracks—like “Anatomy”—see this tattoo reveal as another bold way she’s stepping outside her comfort zone to be authentic, artistic, and connected with her audience .
