Lauren Boebert's '90s Tattoo Sparks Social Media Buzz

The other day, Colorado Representative Lauren Boebert attracted the attention not due to her political activity but as a result of a very noticeable tattoo that was revealed in a post on a social media platform. According to Yashar Ali, the tattoo “ is a thorn-pattern that you’d see on the ’90s barbed wire tattoos that Pamela Anderson and all the celebrities did”. The photo was posted on Instagram by Ginger Gaetz, the wife of a Florida Congressman Matt Gaetz, in the framework of a series of images of conservative women who wear swimsuits. The photograph featured a woman in a leopard-print bikini with an extensive ink on the right side of her torso.

In such a way, Boebert became a new conservative beauty to be recognized by the public in a swimsuit, the idea for which appeared following the post of the Florida Rep. anna paulina luna who became viral due to her image in a white bikini with a gun. The confident and aggressive policy of Boebert, who quickly responded to attain the attention drawn to the image, includes her description of the staff who raised this issue and expressed concern with this image. Specifically, Boebert stated: “I invite them to join me on the House floor to deliver an honest enemy of the people address — both the Democrats in Congress and the fake news reporters who protect them. Haters are at home in their parents’ basement worried about what my husband and I are doing”. Thus, the photo evidences the extent to which the policy and the personal image of a politician are interconnected in the modern American reality.
