Cara Delevingne, the British model and actress, has taken to social media to defend her choice to pose topless in a series of photos showcasing her new arm tattoo. The controversy arose after tattoo artist Matteo Nangeroni shared these photos on Instagram, drawing criticism from some users who questioned the need for a topless pose to display an arm tattoo.
Delevingne responded to the criticism in the comments section of the post, explaining that she had chosen to remove her bra for the photos because the image did not appear aesthetically pleasing with it on. She emphasized her perfectionist approach to photography and her desire to contribute to creating something beautiful.
The 31-year-old’s tattoo features the dictionary definition of the Italian word “dormiveglia,” which translates to “the place that stretches between sleeping and walking.” However, some users pointed out a possible error in the definition, suggesting that it should read “waking” instead of “walking.” Although this issue was not addressed by Delevingne in her comment, the comments section on the post has since been disabled.
Delevingne has faced social media challenges recently, including the hacking of her Twitter account, which was allegedly used by scammers to sell Apple products under the guise of charity. In response, she expressed frustration with the platform for the delay in resolving the issue and announced her intention to delete her Twitter account to prevent such incidents in the future. Despite these challenges, Delevingne remains active on Instagram, Threads, and TikTok.
The incident highlights the ongoing debate surrounding artistic expression, body autonomy, and societal norms, especially in the context of celebrities sharing their personal lives and creative endeavors on social media platforms.
