The Most Popular Tattooed Actresses

When deciding on whether or not to get a tattoo, the first thing to think about is how the tattoo will be a permanent mark on the body. The next thing to consider is what the preferred style might be. Most tattoo have samples of previous designs that can be altered to suit the customer. But what many people enjoy is sampling and mimicking what many of those whom we idolize might have already had created.

Today, celebrities influence much of what is done in society. Clothing styles, hair dos, things to eat, places to hang out and, yes, even tattoos are often influenced by many celebrities. There are more famous people that have tattoos than what has been originally thought. Some may be quite surprising.

As many people know, Angelina Jolie is one of the most popular tattooed actresses today. She flaunts over a dozen tattoos, each with their own meaning. Angelina Jolie is such a fan of tattoos that there are always plans for more in the future. In fact, she’s made the tribal dragon tattoo the most popular among women.

When it comes to tattoos and famous actresses, it’s certain that Pamela Anderson’s name will be brought up. The arm band was made popular almost entirely due to Pamela Anderson. She also put an emphasis on the barbed wire tattoo as it’s one of her most well known marks.

Mike Tyson sports a facial tattoo that is of Maori influence. While the tattoo didn’t exactly cause a boom in applied facial tattoos, it does prove interesting among tattoo enthusiasts.

Johnny Depp is one highly acknowledge actor for having tattoos. He’s decorated with over twelve known tattoos all with stories behind them. Depp’s tattoo on his right bicep is the most well known. When Johnny Depp and Wynona Ryder were together, he had “Wynona Forever” tattooed on his arm. When the relationship ended, it was modified to say “Wino Forever.” A good example of why tattoos should be thought through before taking the leap.

A group tattoo was made for those actors in the Lord of the Rings trilogy. Each actor received a tattoo of the word “nine” written in Elvish script. Tattooed on different areas of the body, and a first tattoo for some, each member now has a permanent mark commemorating the making of the movies.

Other movie celebrities where we will find many tattoos to admire or copy include Drew Barrymore, Julia Roberts, Gillian Anderson, Alyssa Milano, and Christina Ricci. We can also find tattoos in music artists such as Billy Idol, Eminem, Henry Rollins and Brittany Spears. Kobe Bryant, Dennis Rodman, Anna Kournikova, and Stone Cold Steve Austin make up just a few of the sports models that flaunt their own ink.

This is just a sampling of a few of the tattoos that are likely to be found among celebrities. These people are acknowledged and admired for their style and personalities. Many of them have caused booms in the tattoo trends throughout the years with special emphasis on designs that closely resemble their own. It’s not unusual or unheard of by tattoo artists to receive requests for a tattoo that looks just like one sported by the hip celebrity of the times.

Megan Fox Tattoos


The beautiful Transformers star is a avid tattoo lover and has several of her own. A lot of people may not understand her tattoos and I’ve read a lot of people think they are tacky. But people don’t get tattoos for other people they get them for themselves and I’m sure every tattoo that Megan has, has a special meaning to her.

Megan tattoos include:

A portrait of Marilyn Monroe on her right forearm, star and crescent moon on her right leg, symbol for strength on the back of her neck, a Shakespeare quote on her back, some tribal symbols, and a “Brian” on her stomach, as well as a poem she wrote that’s on her ribcage.

Megan does have some regrets about one of her tattoos.

“She regrets the “tribal” tattoo. She said, “The guy was smoking weed while he tattooed me and he didn’t do it correctly. Now it’s nothing and I’m gonna get it removed. I was told he was a really amazing tattoo artist but he wasn’t on his game that night.”

She has been criticized ever since she became popular and people still talk about her tattoo collection today. Most have bad things to say regarding her tattoo designs, the quality of them, why someone so pretty would ruin their body.

Well it seems that Megan’s mother is one of those many people that don’t care for her tattoos. She constantly asks her daughter why she must ruin her perfect body with tattoos. Megan’s mother pleads with her daughter every time she gets a new tattoo not to get another one and of course in true Megan fashion she does not listen.

This is what Megan had to say about getting tattoos in general.

“Everyone hates them because they’re closed-minded about tattoos. People who don’t like me, as far as fans go, always talk about how I’m trashy because I have tattoos. I find that insane! This is 2008, not 1950. Tattoos aren’t limited to sailors. I find them beautiful, so I’m going to keep doing it.”

I really believe that it is okay to have a lot of tattoos on your body, as long as you carry yourself well and have confidence in yourself. I think that makes your tattoos become kind of sexy and not trashy at all. There are plenty other celebrities out there that have 5 or 6 tattoos and they are as pretty and sexy as they can be. And not to mention most people don’t even know that they have that many tattoos.

Angelina Jolie Tattoos


Hollywood’s sexiest female star, Angelina Jolie is a big fan of tattoo body art and has graced her skin with several tattoos. Angelina has a bengal tiger tattoo and tribal script designs on her lower back. She has a script on her neck that reads “know your rights”. Angelina also has a big black cross on her lower stomach above her pubic bone with latin script. On her left shoulder blade is a Buddhist Pali incantation written in Khmer script. This tattoos was done by tattoo artist Noo Sompong Kanhphaiin in a hotel in Pathum Thani, Thailand. She now has a tattooed the geaographical coordinates of the exact locations that each of her children came into her life.

What makes Angelina Jolie so special? Here’s what we want to know.

The Superior Genes

Born Angelina Jolie Voight to documentary producer Marcheline Bertrand and actor Jon Voight, she definitely inherited the best of both sides. Her father is of German-Slovak descent, while her mother was French-Canadian with a little bit of Iroquois, which is said to have been manifested in Angelina’s infamous exoticness. Angie has a face that is an almost complete replica of her mother’s, albeit enhanced by her father’s cherubic countenance.

Angelina is probably best known for her full lips. Although rumors of cosmetic surgery in that area have circulated for as long as she’s been in the limelight, none of them have ever been substantiated. She is tall, very statuesque, and thin with a physique that is to die for and one that seems to be tailor-made for Hollywood. Presently, she doesn’t bear any sign of having given birth to twins fairly recently.

The Attitude and the Tattoos

Probably not a week goes by that there’s no new Angelina story uncovered by the press. In the early days of both her life and her career, she was quite the wild child. As a 14-year-old, she aspired to become a funeral director, wore nothing about black, and dyed her hair purple. Around this time, she was already living with her then boyfriend and spent her time moshing.

In 1996, she married actor Jonny Lee Miller in black rubber pants and a white t-shirt with his name written on it using her blood. They eventually divorced and married actor Billy Bob Thornton in 2000. Throughout the marriage, they both wore vials of each other’s blood around their necks. In 2005, she became part of a much publicized scandal when it became known that she was the reason for the Pitt-Aniston breakup.

Angie doesn’t have an agent or a publicist. She’s always very outspoken in interviews and very open about her sexual preferences. It is, indeed, no wonder that she’s Hollywood’s favorite bad girl. And if people aren’t talking about her antics, they’re talking about the new Angelina Jolie tattoo.

Angelina sports numerous tattoos on various parts of her body. Much to the public’s delight, she has absolutely no qualms about baring her body on-screen, so her tattoos are, more often than not, a common fixture on most of her films. She currently has 13 and has had laser removal on at least 3.

The Raw Talent

Probably the most defining thing about Angelina is not the fact that she’s practically showbiz royalty, or even that she’s drop-dead gorgeous. It’s the fact that she’s actually a very talented actress.

Although she’s been constantly typecast in “bad girl” roles from the early days of her career until the present, she’s actually had a rather impressive number of critically-acclaimed roles. She won a Best Supporting Actress Oscar in 1999 for her role as Lisa Rowe in Girl, Interrupted, and was recently nominated for a Best Actress Oscar for her role in Changeling. She’s also had several Emmy Award nominations and various Golden Globe wins.

The Mighty Heart

Without a doubt, Angelina Jolie is one of the most recognized humanitarian celebrities there is. After filming Tomb Raider in Cambodia, she joined the UNHCR and has since visited refugee camps around the world regularly.

In 2002, she adopted Cambodian-born Maddox. Three years later, she and Brad adopted a baby girl, Zahara, from Ethiopia. In 2007, she once again opened her home to another little boy, this time from Vietnam, who she named Pax.

Along with her biological children with Brad, Shiloh and the twins Knox and Vivienne, Angelina is currently the mother of 6 children – and she has no plans of stopping there. Not only that, both she and Brad started the Jolie/Pitt Foundation in 2006 as aid for children affected by conflict.

Indeed, there is every reason to love Angelina, and no reason not to. Not only has she captured the heart of the world’s most beautiful man, she has also captivated the rest of the world with her beauty, style, and compassion.

Victoria Secret Tattoos


Now it should be no surprise to people that Victoria has several tattoos and they are in noticeable places. But in my opinion the way she carries herself and they attitude she has her tattoos do not look trashy at all.

Victoria has five tattoos as of now and living up to her Posh nickname she has kept them classy if that makes any sense. Her first tattoo is on her lower back and it is five stars. The five starts represent her, David and their three sons, Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz.

Her second tattoo is going down the back of her neck. Victoria and David got these matching tattoos on their 6th wedding anniversary. It is in Hebrew and is from the Song of Songs 2:16: I am my beloved and my beloved is mine.

The third tattoo that Victoria has is MAY 08 1997 in roman numerals tattooed on her wrist. Strangely enough this is the first time the two had sex and Victoria thought it was a great event in her life to be remembered.

The forth tattoo she has is very self explanatory it is the DB on her wrist which stands for her husband David Beckham.

The last and newest of Victoria’s tattoos is located on her wrist under the Roman numerals. However, no one is quit sure what is says. To me looks like it could say De Integra, De Enegra or De Intopa.

Nicole Richie Tattoos


Nicole Richie has several tattoos of her own. Back in 2005 Nicole held the number two spot on a list of the Top 25 Tattooed Celebrities.

Nicole has lived a very troubled life but she has seemed to have gotten things pulled together since the birth of her daughter Harlow. Nicole is no stranger to the tattoo gun and loves to show off her tattoos to the world.

Here’s a list of Nicole’s Tattoos:

  1. Rosary on Her Ankle and Foot
  2. Angel Wings on Her Shoulder Blades
  3. “Richie” and a Ribbon on the Back of Her Neck
  4. Red Shooting Star on the Insider of Her Right Wrist
  5. “Virgin” on Her Left Wrist
  6. Ballerina Slippers on Her Stomach
  7. Cross on Her Lower Back

However, it seems that Nicole isn’t too keen on the idea of Harlow and any other future children wanting to go out and get inked when they became of age. Nicole told Access Hollywood when she was eight months pregnant with baby Harlow she hoped Harlow wouldn’t want to get tattoos.

Paris Hilton Piercing


Hilton was born in New York City, New York, to Kathy, a socialite and actress, and Richard Hilton, a businessman. She was raised Roman Catholic and still attends Mass.

Critics have responded positively to her performance in the film, in which she sings and acts. In an interview Repo! director Darren Lynn Bousman revealed that he had originally refused to audition Hilton for the role of Amber Sweet. “I broke down,” says Bousman, “and I met with her, and immediately she charmed everyone in the room.” In the same interview, Bousman also revealed that Hilton was so keen to get the part that she had the script smuggled in to her during her much publicized stint in a Los Angeles jail, and used her time inside to work on her role.

Although the album reached number six on the Billboard 200 for a week, its total sales volume has been low, but the first single “Stars Are Blind” was a top ten hit in 17 countries. All music commented that the album was “more fun than anything released by Britney Spears or Jessica Simpson, and a lot fresher, too.” As a whole, critical reception was mixed. Paris Hilton can also be heard singing on the soundtrack to the musical Repo! The Genetic Opera. In an interview, the director, Darren Lynn Bousman, praised her vocal skills. When talking about Hiltons’ vocal audition process for the role, Bouseman said, “We gave her some music and said, ‘You have one day to come back and perform this.’ She came back the next day, memorized everything, was pitch-perfect, I mean she was awesome.”

On July 16, 2007, Hilton confirmed that she was working on a new album with producer Scott Storch. In a recent interview with MTV, Hilton decided that her second album is going to be a dance album. She stated that she “loves Bob Sinclar” and wants to create dance-music vibe. Hilton has installed a professional recording studio in her house to work on the album.

She has since told MTV News “I was just in the studio with RedFoo the other night, so we’re going to be doing my new single with LMFAO,” and continued to say “I’m going with a whole new genre. I have Afrojack executive-producing the entire album. So we’ve just been coming up with the most incredible tracks.”. She also stated that she is working with Snoop Dogg and Flo Rida.

Drew Barrymore Piercing and Tattoos


Barrymore was born in Culver City, California, the daughter of American actor John Drew Barrymore and Jaid Barrymore an aspiring actress. Barrymore’s mother was born in a Displaced Persons camp in Brannenburg, West Germany to Hungarian World War II refugees. Barrymore’s father was of mainly English and Irish ancestry. Her parents divorced after she was born. She has one half-brother, John Blyth Barrymore, also an actor, and two half-sisters, Blyth Dolores Barrymore and (Brahma) Jessica Blyth Barrymore.

Barrymore was born into acting: her great-grandparents Maurice Barrymore and Georgie Drew Barrymore, Maurice Costello and Mae Costello and her grandparents John Barrymore and Dolores Costello, were all actors; John Barrymore was arguably the most acclaimed actor of his generation. She is the niece of Diana Barrymore and the grandniece of Lionel Barrymore, Ethel Barrymore and Helene Costello, the great-great-granddaughter of John Drew and actress Louisa Lane Drew, and the great grandniece of Broadway idol John Drew, Jr. and silent film actor/writer/director Sidney Drew. She is also the god-daughter of director Steven Spielberg, and Sophia Loren.

Her first name, Drew, was the maiden name of her paternal great-grandmother, Georgie Drew Barrymore; her middle name, Blyth, was the original surname of the dynasty founded by her great-grandfather, Maurice Barrymore.

Barrymore’s career began when she was auditioned for a dog food commercial at 11 months old. When she was bitten by her canine co-star, the producers were afraid she would cry, but she merely laughed, and was hired for the job. She made her film debut in Altered States (1980), in which she got a small part. A year later, she landed the role of Gertie, the younger sister of Elliott, in E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, which made her famous. She received a Golden Globe nomination for Best Supporting Actress in 1984 for her role in Irreconcilable Differences, in which she starred as a young girl divorcing her parents. In a review in the Chicago Sun-Times, Roger Ebert states: “Barrymore is the right actress for this role precisely because she approaches it with such grave calm.”

In the wake of this sudden stardom, Barrymore endured a notoriously troubled childhood. She was already a regular at the famed Studio 54 when she was a little girl, smoking cigarettes at age nine, drinking alcohol by the time she was 11, smoking marijuana at 12, and snorting cocaine at 13. Her nightlife and constant partying became a popular subject with the media. She was in rehab at age 13. A suicide attempt at age 14 put her back in rehab, followed by a three-month stay with singer David Crosby and his wife. The stay was precipitated, Crosby said, because she “needed to be around some people that were committed to sobriety.” Barrymore later described this period of her life in her autobiography, Little Girl Lost. The next year, following a successful juvenile court petition for emancipation, she moved into her own apartment.

In her late teens, her rebelliousness played itself out on screen and in print. Barrymore forged an image as a manipulative teenage seductress, beginning with the film Poison Ivy (1992), which was a box office failure, but was popular on video and cable. That same year, at the age of 17, she posed nude for the cover of the July issue of Interview magazine with her then-fiancé, actor Jamie Walters, as well as appearing nude in pictures inside the issue. She also underwent breast reduction surgery in 1992.

In 1993, Barrymore earned a second Golden Globe nomination, this time for the film Guncrazy. Barrymore would go on to pose nude for the January 1995 issue of Playboy. Steven Spielberg, who directed her in E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial when she was a child and was her godfather, gave her a quilt for her 20th birthday with a note that read, “Cover yourself up”. Enclosed were copies of her Playboy pictures, with the pictures altered by his art department so that she appeared fully clothed. During a 1995 appearance on Late Show with David Letterman, Barrymore climbed onto David Letterman’s desk and bared her breasts to him, her back to the camera, in celebration of his birthday. She modeled in a series of Guess jeans ads during this time.

Barrymore began a recurring character in the animated comedy Family Guy as Brian Griffin’s simple-minded girlfriend, Jillian. She has since appeared in ten episodes. She was the subject of the 2005 documentary My Date with Drew. In it, an aspiring filmmaker and a fan of Barrymore’s, uses his limited resources in an attempt to gain a date with her. On February 3, 2004, she received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Barrymore’s films have a worldwide box office gross that stands at over US$2.3 billion. According to The Hollywood Reporter’s annual Star Salary Top 10, she was tied for eighth place on the top ten list of actresses’ salaries, commanding 10 to 12 million dollars per movie for 2006. On February 3, 2007, Barrymore hosted Saturday Night Live (SNL) for the fifth time, making her the second female host (after Candice Bergen) in the show’s history to do so. She hosted again on October 10, 2009, becoming the first female to host six times. Barrymore still holds the record as the youngest celebrity ever to host the show (1982, at age seven). In March 2012, Barrymore is set to co-host the twelfth season of The Essentials, a film showcase on Turner Classic Movies which spotlights significant classic films. She will be hosting alongside TCM regular, Robert Osborne.

Barrymore became a CoverGirl Cosmetics’ model and spokeswoman in 2007. Today, Drew Barrymore is still one of the faces for CoverGirl, alongside Queen Latifah and Taylor Swift. The company partnered up with Drew because “she emulates the iconic image of CoverGirl with her fresh, natural beauty and energetic yet authentic spirit” said Esi Eggleston Bracey, Vice President and General Manager of CoverGirl Cosmetics North America. She has brought not only her personality into this endorsement but also her creative side, as she is also a co-creator of the ads. She was No. 1 in People’s annual 100 Most Beautiful People list in 2007. Also in 2007, she was named the new face for the Gucci jewelry line. Barrymore is signed to IMG Models New York City.

In May 2007, Barrymore was named Ambassador Against Hunger for the United Nations World Food Programme66 and later donated $1 million to the cause. In September 2010, Barrymore was confirmed to play the role of Ganga in the Indian Bollywood film The Lifestyle – In Generation Next to be directed by Santosh Kumar Jain, to be released in 2012. Several articles and interviews reported Barrymore’s taste for photography. As a guest photographer for a magazine series called “They Shoot New York,” she appeared on the cover holding a Pentax K1000 film camera. She hopes to expose her work in a gallery one day, as she documented the last decade of her life with a Pentax camera.

Alessandra Ambrosio Piercing


Ambrosio was born in Erechim, Brazil on April 11, 1981. Her parents, who are of Italian and Polish Brazilian descent, own a petrol station. Ambrósio was just eight years old when she decided that she wanted to be a model, after seeing a picture of top covergirl Karen Mulder in a magazine: “I wanted to be like her”, she recalls. She enrolled at a modelling class at the age of 12 and at the age of 14 she was one of 20 finalists for an elite modelling competition in Brazil. Ambrosio was always insecure about her large ears and at eleven had cosmetic surgery to get her ears pinned back, though two years later she suffered complications. In 2006, she appeared on The Tyra Banks Show, and said that the surgery was a bad experience and has discouraged her from ever getting plastic surgery again.

Modeling

When Ambrosio was 12 years old, she enrolled in modeling classes, and then began modeling for Dilson Stein at age 15. Winning Brazil’s Elite Model Look started her modeling career in earnest. Her first notable modeling job was the cover of Brazilian Elle magazine. Elite passed along some of her Polaroids to Guess which led her booking the Millennium GUESS? campaign along with friend and fellow Brazilian Ana Beatriz Barros. She has since appeared in advertisements for brands like Revlon, Christian Dior, Giorgio Armani, and Ralph Lauren, as well as the Pirelli Calendar. She has walked the catwalks for designers such as Prada, Chanel, and Oscar de la Renta. She has appeared in numerous international magazine covers, including Cosmopolitan, Elle, GQ, Harper’s Bazaar, Marie Claire, Ocean Drive, Vogue and the only model to appear on the cover of Glamour in the United States in 2006.

In 2004, Ambrosio launched her line of swimwear called Alessandra Ambrosio by Sais, a division of Rosa Chá. It sold 10,000 units in only its first month on the market.

Ambrosio was the face for the UK company Next and starred in their first television campaign in 12 years. She is also signed to Storm Model Management in London.

On the July, 2009 cover of Marie Claire, Ambrosio appeared in a spread with Sacha Baron Cohen to promote Baron Cohen’s 2009 film Brüno.

Ambrosio, became the face of Brazilian sportswear brand Colcci costarring with Ashton Kutcher in a steamy denim ad. She was ranked No. 5 on Forbes’ The World’s Top-Earning Models list, with an estimated earnings of $5 million over the past 12 months (2010–2011).
