Billie Eilish has recently unveiled a massive new tattoo and it seems as though people are making the same joke about it.

Taking to Instagram, the 21-year-old singer posted a photo dump revealing a new piece of body art which took up a large portion of her back.

On the photo-sharing platform, hundreds of users took to the comments to express their opinions on the back tattoo.

"Back tatt so [fire]," wrote one user, while another added: "That back tattoo tho."

A third also stated: "Without words, this is incredible."

Have a look at the post for yourselves:

However, on Twitter, better known now as X, fans had an entirely different response with many poking fun of the new body art.

After popular news account, Pop Base reposted the image, a handful of social media users took to the platform to slate the ink work.

"Did she just ask for scribbles?" asked one user, while another said: "Why does this look like something an eight-year-old would do."

Others also chimed in with this Twitter user, writing: "Looks like a toddler with a marker went to town..."

Similarly, this user said: "When a toddler comes to you showing you what they just drew."

Someone else even brought up Drake's son, Adonis, stating that she had to credit the little boy.

"Looks like a child was playing with the ink on her back," this user also commented.

Big yikes.

While in the past, Eilish was pretty secretive about her body art, in the past few years, she has seemingly become more open about new pieces of work.

Back in 2020, the Grammy-award-winning artist vowed to keep her tatts a secret, stating that no one would ever see them.

"I did get a tattoo, but you'll never see it."

But after watching the video playback, the songstress admitted that she "lied again" before proceeding to open up about her once-secretive body art in a 2021 interview with Vanity Fair.

"I have three tattoos, now," Eilish admitted. "I have one here that says 'Eilish.' Yes, I love myself," she said pointing to her chest.

"I have one here — big boy here," the musician added, motioning to the right side of her rib cage. "And then, I just got this a few weeks ago, which is some fairies that are from a book that I had growing up — a little fairy book called Fairyopolis."

She showed off her left wrist and down the back of her hand, adding: "They're like my little guardian angel fairies."

While she's a self-admitted tattoo lover, she revealed her mom isn't a fan of the permanent ink.

"My mom hates tattoos," she told the outlet. "No, I'm not gonna be all tatted up, but I have some more ideas. Right now, I feel pretty satisfied. I feel like in a good zone with them."

"Give me a little more time and then I'll get another one," she added.

And her promise rang true with her new back piece.

Even though Eilish had become more open about more personal aspects about her life, like her tattoos, in the same year she told rapper Stormzy that she felt "conflicted' over the issue of oversharing.

"I feel conflicted about it," she said. "I don't always want to tell the world intimate details about my life, I don't really want people to know everything about me, but at the same time, I want people to be able to feel seen and heard if they've experienced the same things I have."

"I want to be helpful. I want people to realize that it's OK, that everyone goes through this," she added. "You can speak for people who don't have a voice."

Despite this though, she also stated that she doesn't want to spill every detail about her life to her fans.

"But also it's conflicting because sometimes you also don't want to talk about it," she explained to the British artist. "It's a tough responsibility because it's also not my responsibility. I don't owe anyone anything."

That's totally true, but we're happy that she felt like sharing her amazing, new piece of body art.

We can't wait to see if there's a follow-up!
