2021 Australian of the Year Grace Tame shared a glimpse of her tattoo removal process as she attended the Marie Claire International Women’s Day lunch on Friday.
The 28-year-old, who is an activist and sexual assault survivor, revealed her faded ink as she posed at the star-studded event.
She dressed to impress in a figure-hugging blue mini dress which featured a slit.
Grace had a long snake tattoo that wraps around her wrist which she appears to be getting removed.
The word ‘FLOSSY’ is also inked onto her collarbone, a slang word meaning ‘showy’, and ‘OH CAPTAIN MY CAPTAIN’ on her forearm, a nod to a poem by Walt Whitman.

Grace previously said her tattoos helped her overcome the trauma of being sexually abused by her high school maths teacher at age 15.
She also has the phrase ‘EAT MY FEAR’ inked onto her hand.
Grace previously explained the meaning behind her hand tattoo while appearing on ABC’s Q&A show.
‘It’s about acknowledging fears and negativity that’s naturally out there in the world,’ she said.
‘But being prepared to swallow that and doing things anyway despite that and actually converting that negative energy into positivity that can fuel you throughout your life.’
‘That’s what predators weaponise – they weaponise our fear. That’s the foundation of their psychological manipulation, which is a huge element of prolonged sexual abuse.’
‘I say, no, let’s transfer it back into their hearts, where it belongs.’
