One thing we love about the cutout dress trend is seeing bits and pieces of celebrity body art. Because these cutouts are usually positioned over often-covered places, a cutout dress gives celebrities like Taraji P. Henson a chance to play peek-a-book with their tattoos.

Taraji exposed her ‘God is Infinite’ ink as she arrived on the red carpet of the 2017 MTV Movie & TV Awards.
“If you’re a person of Christ, and if you are a Christian, then that’s what you do, that’s what Jesus did. Jesus was nailed to a cross by people who hated Him, resurrected, and still loved those same people. So you have to tap into that if you are truly a Christian,” she told The Christian Post about a Christian’s duty to work to defuse the conflict that’s around them.

Taraji revealed her left rib cage tattoo of an infinity sign with a feather and the word “God is Infinite.” We’re sure she has a few more tattoos hiding underneath there somewhere. However, we don’t think she has inked her feet yet.
“These are the cards that God dealt me, and for whatever reasons, He felt like he knew I could handle it,” she told Variety. “God is never going to give you more than you can handle. Now, it’s just trying to keep my sanity”—something admittedly hard to do in an insane world.
“You’ve just got to be strong because the devil wants you weak, and the devil wants to catch you in a vulnerable moment and make you believe things that aren’t true. I just stay strong. I know what side I’m on: I’m on faith’s side. I’ve got God.”
Taraji bites into her popcorn award for “Best Fight Against the System.”
In case you didn’t know, Taraji brought home MTV’s “Best Fight Against the System” award for her work on “Hidden Figures.”
