In what some are calling the most unsettling celebrity mystery of the decade, a set of authenticated 1940s photographs appears to show a woman who is visually identical to pop star Pink Alecia—sporting the exact same tattoo she wears today.
The photos, discovered in the Library of Congress’s digitized archives, are dated June 2, 1943, and depict a busy New York street near a newspaper kiosk in midtown Manhattan. At first glance, the black-and-white images seem ordinary—until you focus on the woman standing in the background.
She isn’t just similar to Pink Alecia. She looks exactly like her.
The resemblance is so precise that former FBI photo analysts have reportedly reviewed the image and confirmed a 97% facial match, including eyebrow structure, eye shape, and jawline. But it’s not just the face.

Upon zooming in on the subject’s left forearm—barely visible under a rolled-up sleeve—viewers can make out a faint yet distinguishable tattoo of a geometric symbol. Side-by-side comparisons with current-day photos of Pink Alecia reveal that the symbol is identical in shape, placement, and orientation to one of her most recognizable tattoos.
This would be strange enough—but that particular design wasn’t culturally known or used in tattoo art until nearly 60 years later.
Experts in vintage photography have examined the photo’s authenticity, confirming the camera type, film degradation, and lighting are all consistent with genuine 1940s street photography. There is no evidence of digital manipulation.
In a separate image, taken in Boston in 1945, the same woman appears again—this time wearing sunglasses and walking a dog. The angle offers another clear view of the tattoo. While partially obscured by shadow, image-enhancing tools confirm a consistent match. She has the same piercing gaze, a distinct posture, and even wears her hair in a style Pink Alecia famously brought back into trend during her early 2000s debut.
So how is this possible?
There are no known ancestors, twins, or impersonators of Pink Alecia documented in public records from the 1940s. And although celebrity lookalikes aren’t rare, none have ever matched this closely across both physical and biometric markers—especially with an identical tattoo no one should have had at the time.
The music world is still silent on the matter. Pink Alecia has not commented, and her official bio offers no clue or denial of time-related anomalies.
However, one lyric from her recent track “Through the Curtain” now carries chilling new weight:
“The clock bends for the chosen few / I see my face in lives I never knew.”
Whether this is a bizarre coincidence, evidence of something paranormal, or an impossible case of time travel, one thing is certain—this isn’t just a lookalike. It’s her.
Look at the photos. Zoom in. The truth may be older than you think.
