Kristen Stewart Debuts 'MINE' Tattoo at Cannes

Kristen Stewart debuted a new tattoo reading 'MINE' above her knee at the Cannes Film Festival premiere of her directorial debut, The Chronology of Water. The tattoo, inspired by a provocative scene and empowering song in the film, reflects themes of self-ownership and bodily autonomy. Stewart explained that the main character's assertion of agency inspired her and that her crew plans to get matching tattoos. The film, an adaptation of Lidia Yuknavitch's memoir, explores trauma, identity, and survival, and received a lengthy standing ovation at Cannes. Stewart's choice to display the tattoo, rather than break dress code rules with nudity, underscored her rebellious artistic spirit. The film and Stewart's tattoo have both drawn critical praise for their raw energy and expressive storytelling.
