In the latest twist surrounding firebrand Republican Rep. Lauren Boebert, a striking photo has surfaced, revealing a previously hidden tattoo that has set the internet abuzz. The Colorado congresswoman, known for her unapologetic conservative stance, has been keeping under wraps a massive tattoo that stretches from her pelvic bone up to her ribs, as shown in a newly released photo.
The revealing image was shared by none other than Ginger Gaetz, wife of Rep. Matt Gaetz, who has been vocally supporting conservative women in the wake of a media frenzy over old swimsuit photos of Rep. Anna Paulina Luna. In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Gaetz celebrated Boebert and other strong conservative women, writing, “We love confident, healthy, patriotic women like Lauren,” accompanied by a bikini emoji.
The photo shows Boebert, 37, confidently smiling as she stands on the sunny shores of West Palm Beach. She’s wearing a dark blue bikini top and slim, cheetah-print bottoms with gold accent rings. But what’s really catching everyone’s attention is the sprawling tribal tattoo that connects her bathing suit top and bottoms, covering much of the right side of her torso.
While it’s unclear exactly when the photo was taken, one detail stands out—Boebert’s left hand still sports her engagement ring, a reminder of her now-ended marriage. Boebert and her husband, embroiled in personal scandals, announced their plans to divorce back in May 2023.
The image, shared by Ginger Gaetz and later amplified by Rep. Matt Gaetz, quickly went viral, racking up over a million views. Reactions have been divided. Some praised Boebert for her confidence and unapologetic display of individuality, while others, predictably, criticized the tattoo as “trashy” and unbecoming of a congresswoman.
Boebert, never one to shy away from controversy, responded with her trademark wit, tweeting, “Well then…there’s that!” It’s a response that encapsulates her approach to both politics and life—bold, unfiltered, and unconcerned with the opinions of her detractors.
The photo’s release has also drawn parallels to the recent media attention surrounding Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, who faced criticism over years-old swimsuit photos. But rather than shying away from the controversy, Luna used it as an opportunity to mock the left’s fixation on identity politics. In a tweet, she quipped, “I’m confirming that I have indeed worn swimsuits and you can tell I am biologically a woman,” adding the hashtag “MAGA” for good measure.
This latest episode highlights a broader cultural clash where conservative women are pushing back against what they see as an increasingly puritanical and hypocritical left. Instead of shrinking under the spotlight, Boebert and her colleagues are embracing it, turning the tables on their critics.
In a political landscape where appearances often matter as much as policy positions, Boebert’s tattoo might just be another symbol of her defiance—an outward expression of her refusal to conform to anyone else’s expectations. Whether you see it as empowering or provocative, one thing is clear: Lauren Boebert isn’t about to change who she is to fit someone else’s mold.
