Rep. Lauren Boebert revealed that she has a gigantic torso tattoo in a bikini shot that was released in the wake of Rep. Anna Paulina Luna’s viral swimsuit photo.
The photo of Boebert’s shockingly large tattoo was shared by by Rep. Matt Gaetz’s wife on Thursday, in an effort to support Luna after liberal haters tried to shame her for a years-old photo of her in revealing swimming wear.
In the photo, Boebert, 37, is smiling while posing near the water of West Palm Beach in a dark blue bikini top and tiny cheetah print bottoms held together by gold rings.
The focal point of the photo is the massive tribal tattoo that starts at her pelvis, spans most of the right side of her torso, and disappears underneath the bikini top.

“We love confident, healthy, patriotic women like Lauren,” Ginger Gaetz tweeted, adding a bikini emoji.
The tweet garnered over 1.8 million views and received mixed reactions, with some people calling the photo “hot” while others said her tattoo was “trashy.”
“This is what we all need, a reality check! Real American Women still rule!” One commenter wrote.
Anna Paulina Luna should be working at my local Hooters, NOT in Congress! pic.twitter.com/uG6QsAfbfZ

While a dissenter replied, “Why am I not surprised that she has one of the worst white trash tribal tattoos I’ve ever seen on a woman.”
Boebert seemed stunned by the photo being posted, but was a good sport about her unintentional tattoo reveal.

“Well then…there’s that!” She tweeted in response, adding, “We all love Anna Paulina Luna!”
Luna finally responded on social media after footage of her dancing in a cheeky MAGA-themed swimsuit went viral this week.
The clip, which showed the 35-year-old lawmaker sporting the suit in 2016 to support former Donald Trump before she was elected to Congress, was posted by X user Phillips Holz.
“Anna Paulina Luna should be working at my local Hooters, NOT in Congress!” Holz wrote in a post that garnered 3.4 million views.

“I don’t understand your point. Anna Paulina Luna is better at her job than most members of Congress and she’s fighting for your right not to be suppressed and censored by the federal government,” conservative commenter Ian Cheong shot back.
Luna enraged liberals when she hilariously sniped, “I’m confirming that I have indeed worn swimsuits and you can tell I am biologically a woman.”
In a separate post, she noted that she was previously featured by Sports Illustrated and Maxim and had designed swimwear.
“I have a confession to make since the TikTok Democrats are onto me: I wear bikinis to the beach and use mineral sunscreen,” she further stoked the flames.
“There are better [things] to do with your time than digging up modeling photos of me from almost a decade ago.”
Next time you try to circulate my modeling portfolio as a “hit,” may I add the worst hit in history that I was able to fundraise off of, don’t forget this one. Yes it was for an arms company. pic.twitter.com/QepaJqYpCl

“The left is attempting to make this a thing yet can’t define a woman. Very low IQ behavior. Get over it,” Luna added.
Ginger Gaetz became Luna’s self-appointed champion, but posting additional images of Luna in swimwear.
“She’s single-handedly bringing back Women Crush Wednesday,” Gaetz captioned a photo.

She further fueled the fire by posted photos of several other conservative women in bikinis, including Manhattan Republican Party chair Andrea Catsimitidis, Talia Hanks, and OANN producer Peyton Drew.
“Another gorgeous patriot for your feed,” she said with a shot of Catsimitidis wearing a bikini on a boat.
“I couldn’t decide if @Talia_Hanks looks better in white vs red, so enjoy both,” she wrote about Hanks, a conservative former pageant star.

Gaetz also reposted a swimsuit shot from OANN’s Drew, who tagged Luna and tweeted, “BREAKING NEWS: Conservative women wear bikinis too. I stand with the beautiful.”
Luna thanked all the “confident and smart women out there” who supported her with comments and messages on social media.
She took a parting shot at liberals haters with an image of herself lounging on a gold throne, draped in an American flag, holding an automatic weapon and wearing tactical gear.
“Next time you try to circulate my modeling portfolio as a ‘hit,’ may I add the worst hit in history that I was able to fundraise off of, don’t forget this one. Yes, it was for an arms company,” she trolled.
Luna also leveraged her newfound notoriety to promote new legislation. “Now that I have your attention, I have a bill I am introducing to CAP STUDENT LOAN INTEREST!” she tweeted on Thursday night.
“It shouldn’t take a lifetime to pay back student loan debt. That’s insanity.”
