Billie Eilish has revealed the design of her first tattoo, months after telling fans they "won't ever see it."

In the teenager's newest cover story, Rolling Stone's Brittany Spanos writes about Eilish's "normal" life and habits, including watching "Twilight" and getting tattoos.

"She got a giant black dragon on her right thigh in November and 'Eilish,' in an ornate, gothic font, in the middle of her chest the day after the 2020 Grammys," Spanos writes.

Fans spotted Eilish's thigh tattoo back in May, when the 19-year-old star posed in lingerie for the cover of British Vogue.

But her chest tattoo has thus far remained hidden. It was presumably the first design Eilish ever inked, which she alluded to in her fourth time-capsule interview with Vanity Fair, filmed in October 2020.

"I did get a tattoo," she said. "But you won't ever see it."

Indeed, the tattoo is not visible in photos of Eilish wearing tops with plunging necklines, so the design is presumably placed in a more southern, discrete location.

In terms of the design itself, "Eilish" is actually the singer's middle name, not her surname.

Her full legal name is Billie Eilish Pirate Baird O'Connell; "Pirate" was a nickname given by her older brother Finneas, who was 4 when she was born, while "Baird" is her mother's maiden name.

Getting "Eilish" inked the day after the Grammys may have been a salute to her stage name and thriving career. The "Bad Guy" songstress won five awards that night and swept the "big four" categories.

Her sophomore album, "Happier Than Ever," is slated for release on July 30.
