Showing Some Ink: Celebrities And Their Tattoos

Even though many don’t have tattoos, almost everyone has at least some degree of fascination for tattoos. Since the earlier years of civilization, several types of body art, including tattoos, were used to symbolize beauty and creativity. Through the years, the purpose of having some ink etched on a person’s skin hasn’t changed.

To this day, people still put tattoos on their bodies. Even though a few are fake, one can’t deny that they still look impressive. Some works of body art were also made because of the meaning and value behind their creation.

For this article, we will be talking about celebrities and the tattoos they wear proudly. Some can be as subtle as a dot, while others can be as apparent as a name written on their jaw. Whatever and wherever it may be, it’s safe to say that they are there for a purpose. Besides commemorating their career milestones, some stars use the beauty of body art for preserving memories of family, friends, or events in their lives.

Jessica Alba

At this point, many people probably recognize Jessica Alba for her role in films like Dark Angel and Fantastic Four. However, some may not be aware that the actress is also a superhero in real life. Besides appearing in a fair share of movies, the actress has also made investments in The Honest Company – they create products safe for babies, personal care, and cleaning.

With the actress also being a loving mother, it comes as no surprise that she aims for every household to have access to safer and cleaner products. With that said, Jessica Alba also has other ways to show love for her three kids. In 2019, she had three tattoos added on her forearm, each being the respective zodiac constellations of her two daughters and son. A mother’s love is like a circle, it has no beginning and ending.

Cardi B

Several of today’s celebrities had mundane jobs before they lived a life under the spotlight. One such example is the now-influential rap artist Cardi B, who once worked at a food store and as a dancer to settle her personal loans. Fortunately, all that hard work paid off and Cardi B is now one of the most well-known names in the industry.

Over the years, Cardi B has also had her fair share of tattoos. One of them is of her sister’s name, Hennessy, written on her bicep. She has cherished the beautiful time she spent with her sister. Another is of the word “Belkis,” located on her right wrist. Although the artist hasn’t explained its relevance to the public, some people believe it’s a play on Cardi’s real name, Belcalis.

Kylie Jenner

The entertainment industry has introduced several celebrities. In fact, many are so recognizable that even people who don’t even follow them still know who they are. One such example is Kylie Jenner, the youngest among the famous Kardashians – she also takes credit for being the youngest self-made billionaire. Despite her age, Kylie has quite a successful career. Besides starring in the reality family TV show, she also owns her own cosmetics company, Kylie Cosmetics.

Some people like their tattoos to be visible even from afar. However, Kylie Jenner prefers her ink to be subtle, something only eagle-eyed fans can notice. Two of these tattoos involve her daughter, Stormi Webster. The numbers “4:43” can be seen on her forearm, signifying the time Stormi was born – on that same arm is also her daughter’s name, written just above her elbow.

Selena Gomez

Another star who rose to fame at a fairly young age, Selena Gomez has become a well-known artist thanks to her hit songs like Good For You, Same Old Love, and Lose You to Love Me. Besides her talent in singing, Selena also made investments in other businesses. Besides her Dream Out Loud clothing line, the singer also helped produce the Netflix shows Thirteen Reasons Why and Living Undocumented.

Throughout life, we all make achievements, whether big or small. For Selena Gomez, the artist prefers to preserve these moments with meaningful tattoos. One such tattoo is of the number 4, symbolizing her four best friends. She revealed that these women have stayed by her side for 7 years. Another is of an arrow, which she got after performing in one of Julia Michaels’ concerts – Michaels also helped write Gomez’s hit Lose You to Love Me.

Emilia Clarke

Before she rose to fame, Emilia Clarke once worked as a waitress and a bartender to settle her personal loans. After all that hard work, Clarke finally began her acting career. Today, she is famously known for her role as the Mother of Dragons, Daenerys Targaryen, in the TV series Game of Thrones.

In most cases, quality is indeed over quantity. Such was the case for Emilia Clarke’s tattoo collection. Although she only has two, each one marks a significant milestone in her career. The first she had was of a bumblebee on her left pinky finger, something she inked after wearing a fake one in the film Me Before You. The other she got in September 2018 by the tattoo artist, Dr Woo, on her right wrist, shows dragons, undoubtedly calling back to her role in the HBO series.

Drew Barrymore

Although you may not have watched the original Charlie’s Angels show when it aired, you probably saw its remake. One of the lead stars, Drew Barrymore, had the chance to star alongside Lucy Liu and Cameron Diaz. Barrymore also gained recognition for her acting credit in projects like Scream, Mad Love, and more recently, Netflix’s Santa Clarita Diet.

For her tattoos, the actress may not have a lot, but each one is quite significant to her. One such example is the butterfly tattoo on her arm, which is a symbol of happiness and joy. Another is the word “Breathe” on her left forearm, something she believes she still needs to remind herself to do sometimes. However, perhaps the most valuable piece would be the “Olive and Frankie” tattoo on her arm, the name of her two daughters.

Emma Stone

Although she is now well-known in the film industry, it’s safe to say that Emma Stone’s previous line of work was also just as fun. To help her settle with personal loans, Stone once worked at a dog bakery, making sweet treats that can make even the grumpiest pups happy. Coincidentally, two of her earlier roles were for voice acting dogs: one for The Suite Life of Zack and Cody, the other in Marmaduke.

Having a tattoo collection can undoubtedly be quite impressive. However, sometimes having only one is already enough. For Emma Stone, the only tattoo she wears shows two bird feet, a nod to one of her favorite songs of all time, Blackbird, which signifies some fortune or good omen. Funny enough, former Beatles member Paul McCartney was also the one who designed the tattoo for the actress.

Emma Watson

If there was ever a list of celebrity role models, Emma Watson would undoubtedly be on it. Since her earlier years in acting, Watson has often been a figure people of all ages could look up to. Although she already made quite a name for herself as Hermione in the Harry Potter films, the actress also kept track of her studies. Eventually, in between working on movies, Watson finally received her bachelor’s degree in English literature.

Through the years, the actress has worn her fair share of body art. Although they’re fake, at least we know she has a liking for them. Perhaps the most popular tattoo she had was the “Time’s Up” tattoo she flaunted at the 2018 Oscars, which was a subtle way to promote the movement with the same name.

Ariana Grande

With music and singing being an integral part of her childhood, it was only a matter of time before Ariana Grande got her big break. Well, thanks to her 2013 debut album, Yours Truly, the then-aspiring singer received instant success. To this day, she still manages to maintain her celebrity status with every record she releases.

Over the years, the star has shaved some points off her credit card to get tattoos. Now, Ariana Grande proudly wears more than a few of them, including the numbers “561” on her thumb, her hometown’s area code. By her left hand is the word “Toulouse,” the name of Grande’s family pet dog. Another one located just above her elbow is the Japanese translation of the phrase, “let’s sing.” Her hit song 7 Rings also revealed her love of body ink with the lyric: “Girls with tattoos who like getting in trouble”.

Angelina Jolie

Hollywood has introduced us to many big-named celebrities over the years. One of them is the much-beloved Angelina Jolie. So far, in her ongoing career, Jolie has become well-known for her acting credit in films like Tomb Raider, Salt, and both Maleficent movies. Besides her career under the spotlight, the actress is also quite the humanitarian – she is an active participant in several charity programs.

Besides being an actress, Angelina Jolie is also a proud and loving mother to her children. On her left arm is a tattoo showing a series of numbers. Upon further inspection, these turn out to be coordinates of where her kids were born. Furthermore, on her left wrist and right hand are the letters “H” and “M,” respectively, each being an initial for her brother James Haven and mother, Marcheline Bertrand.

Lea Michele

Since her childhood days, singing and acting played a vital part in Lea Michele’s life. She performed for stage productions like Les Misérables, Ragtime, and Fiddler on the Roof. Eventually, the actress reached worldwide fame thanks to her acting credit in the TV show Glee. Other projects she later starred in include Scream Queens, The Mayor, and New Year’s Eve.

Among many things, tattoos can be used to show one’s love for something or someone. For Lea Michele, she proudly wears her own fair share of body art, one of which is a coffee cup on her right ring finger, which was done in memory of her grandmother. Apparently, it was the actress’s grandmother who made her very first cup of coffee. Although another tattoo’s location in her body is unknown, it is reportedly of the number 5, the same number on the jersey of Glee’s Finn Hudson, who was portrayed by the late Cory Monteith.

David Beckham

It’s a rarity for someone to have a definite life goal at such a young age. However, that wasn’t the case for David Beckham. Throughout his elementary and high-school days, whenever his teachers asked him what he wanted to be in the future, Beckham always answered, “soccer player.” With all things considered, it’s safe to say he fulfilled that goal and more.

Although the iconic soccer player is known for his impressive car collection and business ventures, David Beckham also made investments in his tattoos. So far, he proudly wears over fifty of them. Besides the eye-catching artwork, Beckham also has room for his family, including his son’s nickname, Buster, on his neck, his wife’s name, Victoria, and the number 99 on his right hand – the couple married in 1999.

Beyoncé

It’s no secret that several performers experience stage fright before entering the stage. Well, such was the case for the now-iconic Beyoncé. In the earlier years of her career, the singer was said to get the jitters before her concerts. This became such a hassle for her, to the degree that she was pushed to create her alter ego, Sasha Fierce. Fortunately, as the singer became more confident with herself, Beyoncé bade farewell to Fierce.

Outside of the music industry, Beyoncé happily lives her life with her husband Jay-Z and their three kids. To show her love for them, the singer has three dots tattooed on her left finger, each one representing her children. The middle dot is in blue ink which symbolizes her first child Blue Ivy Carter. Furthermore, the singer has the Roman numeral IV inked on her ring finger, symbolizing her marriage with the rapper on April 4, 2008.

Rihanna

Over the years, several musical artists have entertained us with hits that are still played even today. In more recent times, one such artist is Rihanna. Whenever people mention her name, it’s always a safe bet that a song of hers will instantly come to mind, like Umbrella, We Found Love, Stay, or Diamonds. Even people who don’t listen to her songs would probably be still able to recognize her.

Sometimes, we go through a few hindrances. Although they may bring us down, it doesn’t mean we shouldn’t overcome them. This kind of problem is also something a successful artist like Rihanna goes through, too. For that, she shaved some points off her credit card for a motivational tattoo. Now, whenever she looks at a mirror, she can remind herself of the phrase on her shoulder, “Never a failure, always a lesson.”

Lady Gaga

The life of a musician came early for the famous Lady Gaga. She began playing the piano when she was four years old, wrote a song at 13, and performed at open mic events by the time she turned 14. Besides being an energetic singer and dancer, Lady Gaga also takes credit for composing songs for fellow artists like Jennifer Lopez, Fergie, and the Pussycat Dolls.

Aside from music and acting, Lady Gaga also possesses a deep love for art. Surprisingly, All of her tattoos are on one side of her body body out of respect for her father. Among the many tattoos the singer has is a series of musical notes and a trumpet, both located on her right arm. However, most of her tattoos are located on her left side, including a peace symbol by her wrist and her sister’s name, Joanne, on her forearm.

Adele

With over 86 awards and several Billboard-topping records under her credit, it’s safe to say that Adele has become quite the artist. After all, she did begin committing to her singing career when she was just four years old. Over the years, she amazed long-time and new fans with songs like Rolling in the Deep, Skyfall, and Hello.

Besides her singing voice, Adele’s taste in tattoos is also just as impressive. Among them include one on her left wrist, showing a circle with the words “One Penny” and a heart in it – a creative way for the singer to show some love for her mother, Penny Adkins. Another design filled with compassion is the name Angelo on her right hand, her son’s name. Adele showed her love to family by this way.

Lily Collins

Before she even got her college degree in broadcast journalism, Lily Collins was already an actress – at two years old, she appeared in the TV series Growing Pains. Over the years, she has written for magazines like Teen Vogue and Seventeen. Eventually, Collins gained worldwide recognition for her roles in films like Mortal Instruments: City of Bones, Love, Rosie, and To The Bone.

Like many others, Lily Collins is very proud of her roots. In fact, this pride is also strongly reflected in her tattoos. On her left wrist is a small British Crown above a pair of wings. Furthermore, on her right foot is a lovely drawing of an English rose. Besides acknowledging her nationality, the actress also values her mother – the wings are a call back to her mother’s angel tattoo. “It’s a British crown, I’m British. Angel wings, my mom has an angel on her and I wanted angel wing,” she said.

Lana Del Rey

A little mix of everything can create great results. Well, that is the case for Lana Del Rey, who has a profound interest in the world. After learning the guitar and getting her bachelor’s degree in philosophy, Del Rey combined her talents and newfound knowledge to create a few of today’s catchy hits. Since then, the singer-songwriter has released songs like Summertime Sadness, Young and Beautiful, and Don’t Call Me Angel.

For her career, Lana Del Rey takes inspiration from several people. In fact, few of them also found a spot on the singer’s tattoo collection. On her left hand, Del Rey has the letter “M,” the first initial of her grandmother’s name, Madeleine. Furthermore, on her right arm is the name “Nabokov Whitman,” two writers whose work greatly influenced the singer’s songs: Vladimir Nabokov and Walt Whitman.

Kendall Jenner

Another member of the Kardashians, Kendall Jenner is also a well-known personality in the entertainment industry. In the earlier years of her journey, Kendall once worked as a dog walker so she could settle her personal loans. Eventually, after a few business ventures, the fashion model became the third-richest sibling in the family, with a net worth of $45 million.

For the most part, people have tattoos of interesting and eye-catching symbols. Well, for Kendall Jenner, her body art is relatively unique. The first one she had was of a simple white dot located on her finger because she didn’t want any ink to be noticeable when she models. Another tattoo she now has mixed feelings for is the word “meow,” located on the inner side of her lower lip. However, her “momager” Kris Jenner wasn’t impressed.

Jenicka Lopez

More often than not, music is a strong force that can connect people. Well, such was the case for the late singer Jenni Rivera, whose investments left a long and lasting mark in the music industry and her family. Among her kids include the two social media figures, Juan Angel and Jenicka.

Although she prefers to keep most of her life away from the public eye, Jenicka Lopez is not shy about sharing a few precious moments on Instagram. Along with her brother, Juan Angel, Jenicka also decided to have a tattoo to commemorate her parents’ lives. However, instead of an image, she settled for the Portuguese word “Saudade,” which encapsulates one’s sense of longing or nostalgia for something even when it’s already gone. The time she spent with her parents was fixed in her mind by this way.

Gisele Bündchen

In the beauty and fashion industry, what better way is there to showcase one’s works than with models? Among these stars of the catwalk include Gisele Bündchen. At a young age, Bündchen was encouraged by her mother to pursue a life in the modeling business. After establishing her name in the industry, Gisele Bündchen eventually took credit for being one of the highest-paid supermodels in the world.

Although she has had several chances to get another tattoo, Gisele Bündchen is already more than content with just one. Among the relatives she cherishes, Bündchen arguably values her late grandmother the most. However, when the then-aspiring model first moved to New York, she did so on a starless night. As a result, Gisele Bündchen decided to get a tattoo of a shooting star to remember her grandmother. That way, she would always be there by her side like a guardian angel.

Miley Cyrus

With her father, Billy Ray Cyrus, and godmother, Dolly Parton, both being famous country singers, it’s not surprising that Miley Cyrus also made investments of her own in the music industry. Aside from becoming an artist and songwriter, Miley is also a successful actress, starring in films and TV shows like LOL, Black Mirror, and The Last Song.

Singer, actress, and songwriter may be suitable titles for Miley, but she is also quite the tattoo enthusiast. Throughout her ongoing career, she has developed an impressive collection of ink etched on her skin. Among them is a portrait of her grandmother, whom she greatly cares for. Furthermore, besides other eye-catching artworks, the singer also has another tattoo she values. On her left shoulder is a note she received from singer Yoko Ono saying, “I’m proud of U.”

Bella Hadid

Most of the time, we aspire to be like the people we look up to. For Bella Hadid, her role model is none other than her older sister, well-known model Gigi Hadid. However, before she pursued a career on the catwalk, Bella was also a talented equestrian player in her teenage years. To this day, though she pursued a different career, she still follows the lessons she learned from her horse-riding days.

Over the years, Bella Hadid has spent a significant portion of investment money supporting her family. However, that doesn’t mean she hasn’t been focusing on herself, too. She got two tattoos: angel wings on her ankle, and a tiny rose on the back of her arm. Recently, the model-slash-celebrity introduced two new tattoos. On her left and right shoulder are Arabic writings, one meaning “sweet heart” and the other being “I love you.”

Kaia Gerber

In the modeling business, Cindy Crawford undoubtedly takes credit for being one of the most influential figures in the industry. Fortunately, in more recent years, Cindy can now share the spotlight with her daughter, Kaia Gerber, who is also quite the successful model – she already modeled in a lot of shows by the time she turned 16.

Besides her career on the catwalk, Kaia Gerber is also known for collecting small tattoos that often done by the highly in-demand artist JonBoy – so small you could hardly notice some at a glance. So far, the young model proudly wears a tattoo of interlocking arms forming a heart on her right shoulder. Another design on her right side is a floral arrangement on her wrist. Meanwhile, her left arm presents a neat recreation of Picasso’s Lady With Bird.

Joe Jonas

Thanks to songs like Lovebug, Where Are You Now, Paranoid, and for starring in Disney’s Camp Rock movies, the Jonas Brothers have become quite popular over the years. However, the brother trio, Kevin, Nick, and Joe, are just as successful in their solo careers. For middle-brother Joe Jonas, the singer-songwriter is also the vocalist for the dance-rock band DNCE, with whom he made the catchy tune Cake by the Ocean.

Like other celebrities, Joe Jonas also spent his credit card on some nice body art. Among the many tattoos he has includes one showing two ropes interlocked with a knot. He revealed the new tattoo on Instagram in December 2012. Perhaps it’s a symbolic representation of the singer and his family, the two ropes being his parents and the four ends being him and his siblings.

Sofia Richie

Although people initially expected her to pursue a musical career, Sofia Richie decided to go for something different. At the age of 14, Sofia already made investments for her journey in modeling. Her first appearance was on Teen Vogue. Soon she was walking on several runways for famous fashion brands like Chanel, Philipp Plein, Tommy Hilfiger, and Dolce & Gabbana.

Among other things, getting a tattoo isn’t something Sofia Richie is afraid of. Through the years, she has expanded her collection of subtle inks. A few works of body art she wears include the words “Never Let Go” on her right hand, her father’s initial “L” on her ankle, and her brother’s initials “MBR” on her right thumb. We’re sure she’ll be getting a few more in the future.

Hailey Baldwin

Her popularity may have skyrocketed to a higher degree when she and Justin Bieber got married, but Hailey Baldwin is also just as full of potential as her pop star husband. However, unlike her parents and relatives — which include notable actors Stephen and Alec Baldwin — Hailey mainly works as a model and is gradually making a name for herself in the film industry.

With a career in showbiz, it’s easy for a celebrity to become friends with other stars. Such was the case for Hailey Baldwin and Kendall Jenner, who now share matching tattoos of a broken heart. However, this isn’t the only piece of body art Baldwin wears. There’s a star on her right index finger, the words “minas gerais” on her left ankle, and, recently, the letter “J” on her ring finger.

Louis Tomlinson

Although each member contributes a significant amount to their records, Louis Tomlinson arguably takes credit for writing most of One Direction’s songs, especially in the albums Midnight Memories, Four, and Made in the AM. Now, years after the group disbanded, Louis and the others each found success in their own solo careers.

Even so, a piece of the group remains with Louis Tomlinson. On both of his ankles, the singer has a tattoo of a screw, which the other members also have. The tattoo can help them keep grounded no matter how famous they become. Furthermore, another One Direction-related piece of body art is the word “OOPS,” which was his reaction after first meeting Harry Styles. Besides this, Louis also has several tattoos, like the phrase “Far Away,” a skateboarding stickman, and a spider’s web on his right arm.

Chrissy Teigen

Sometimes, a celebrity’s big break can start in the most unexpected places. Well, such was the case for model Chrissy Teigen. At a young age, Chrissy and her family often requested the services of a moving company to help them transfer from one house to another. Eventually, they settled in California, where she worked at a surf shop. After a visiting photographer noticed her, Chrissy’s modeling career immediately took off.

More often than not, people have reasons behind their tattoos. Although some do it to show their appreciation for the art, others have more personal consideration. For Chrissy Teigen, it was the latter. Due to the unfortunate passing of her and John Legend’s son, Jack, the model decided to add a tattoo of his name on her wrist. This tattoo helped her to break taboos while validating the pain of the loss.

Kristen Stewart

Although she’s often widely-known for her acting credit as Bella in the Twilight films, Kristen Stewart actually started her career at the age of eight. After appearing in a fair share of commercials, the actress eventually found a spot on the big screen alongside Jodie Foster in the film Panic Room. Over the years, Stewart began getting more critically-acclaimed roles in films, including Clouds of Sils Maria, The Runaways, and Camp X-Ray.

Kristen Stewart wears a fair number of tattoos, although most are quite hard to notice at a glance. Among her many tattoos are a small infinity sign just above her right wrist, a portion of Picasso’s Guernica painting on her right arm while filming Clouds of Sils Maria, and four lines on her left wrist which represents the punk band, “Black Flag”.

Dania Ramirez

Sometimes, we just need a little push to help us work on our goals. For Dania Ramirez, this push came when she was cast for a small role in a soda commercial when she was 15 years old. After that, she decided to spend her investment money on an acting career. Over the years, Ramirez has starred in more than a few films and TV shows, including X-Men: The Last Stand, The Sopranos, Entourage, and Heroes.

Although most celebrities prefer to expand their tattoo collection, Dania Ramirez seems to have no intention of getting new ones. In the meantime, the actress is content with her three tattoos: the numbers “13-5-22” on her left foot, the names of her twin kids (Aether and Gaia) on her right foot, and the words “Live Love Life” on her right arm.

Cara Delevingne

Another widely-known personality even outside the modeling business, Cara Delevingne started her career at the young age of ten – she was photographed for Vogue Italia. Besides walking on runways for several fashion brands, Cara also has a wide degree of interests, including acting, singing, and playing the drums and guitar. Over the years, the model has starred in films like Anna Karenina, Paper Towns, and Luc Besson’s adaptation of Valerian.

Another hobby of hers is tattoo collecting. So far, her ever-growing works of ink include the initials of her full name “CJD” on her right hand, a lion on her right index finger, and her mother’s name, Pandora, on her left arm. Besides these, Cara also shares a matching “solemate” tattoo with fellow model and best friend, Kaia Gerber. Every tattoo she got is quite meaningful to her.

Sophie Turner

The film industry has introduced many up and coming actors throughout the years, several of which became household names. One such star who received a huge amount of attention recently is Sophie Turner, who’s well-known for playing Sansa Stark in the TV series, Game of Thrones. Eventually, she got the chance to star in big-screen movies like Barely Lethal and the X-Men film series.

Throughout Game of Thrones’ production, Sophie Turner became good friends with co-star Maisie Williams. To mark their friendship, the duo spent their credit cards on matching “07.08.09” tattoos, the date they were approved to star on the HBO series. She also has a tattoo on her right ring finger of five tally marks to represent the five members of her family. Recently, she added the letters J and W to her ink collection, both being the initials of her husband, Joe Jonas, and their infant, Willa.

Ashley Benson

One way or another, the investments that Ashley made for her acting and modeling career — which she made at a young age — have already paid off. Throughout her childhood days, Benson was also quite the dancer, a talent that eventually helped her land a role in Bring It On: In It to Win It. Furthermore, she also got a chance to star in films like Elvis & Nixon, Spring Breakers, and Pixels.

Besides modeling and acting, Ashley Benson has also shown an interest in working either as a doctor or chef. However, another possible career path revealed itself to her recently: tattoo artist. Before Benson’s go-to artist gave her the aforementioned tattoo, he got tattooed by the model himself. Afterward, he did his magic and engraved the name of Benson’s favorite food on her arm: pommes frites, which is a fancier way of saying “french fries.”

Katy Perry

Several bands and singers have graced the airwaves over the years. One of the many notable figures in the music industry is none other than Katy Perry. Developing her talents at a young age, Perry’s parents were very supportive of her pursuing a career as a singer – they even spent some investment money for her voice lessons. Today, the star has amazed audiences with hit records like Dark Horse, ET, Roar, and Chained to the Rhythm.

More often than not, tattoos are one way for people to express their love for something or someone. With that said, Katy Perry has developed an impressive collection over the years, including a strawberry on her ankle in July 2009, a tiny lotus flower on her right wrist in January 2012, and Hello Kitty on her right middle finger on October 30th 2014.

Poppy Delevingne

Most of the time, siblings prefer to pursue different careers. However, even if that’s the case, there is still some degree of similarity between them. Well, the same can be said about Cara Delevingne’s just-as-quirky older sister, Poppy. Furthermore, like Cara, the older Delevingne sibling is also a well-known figure in the modeling business and an aspiring actress, appearing in films like Kingsman: The Golden Circle and The Aspern Papers.

So far, Poppy only has two tattoos. Even so, these works of ink still mean the world to her. Behind her neck is a small illustration of the Taurus, her zodiac sign, with a heart above it. The heart tattoo was made by her sister Cara one night during a party. Another special piece is one Poppy shares with her husband James Cook: their wedding anniversary, 16.5.14, below a cross.

Hilary Duff

Disney has introduced many famous stars over the years, like Miley Cyrus and Selena Gomez. However, if they had to name a celebrity that inspired them early on in their careers, the credit would arguably go to Hilary Duff. A singer-actress who also gained worldwide fame thanks to Disney, Hilary Duff is often known for her roles in Lizzie McGuire, Cheaper by the Dozen, and A Cinderella Story.

Both inside and outside movie sets, Hilary Duff is well-known for being an overall positive person. This wholesome and happy personality of hers is also reflected in the tattoos she wears. Among them include a small anchor on her left ankle and a wishbone on her right forearm, both symbols often associated with hope, stability, and good luck. Besides, she also got the letters “bk” tattooed on her arm as a matching tattoo with her friend.

Chase Hudson

In recent years, the social media platform TikTok has introduced its own fair share of internet celebrities. One such figure is Chase Hudson, often known as Lil Huddy. While he was finishing his online classes, Hudson was already establishing his name on the video-sharing site. Now, he is one of the most influential figures on the platform, with over 20 million followers.

Along the way, the social media influencer grew an interest in tattoos. He had posted a twitter, saying that he wanted a tattoo. Alongside other members of his group, Hype House, Hudson got his first set of body art. However, perhaps the most eye-catching piece in his collection so far is the one on his left forearm: a castle, reminiscent of Harry Potter’s forever-iconic Hogwarts, surrounded by dragons and fog. Besides, he also got his fan art tattooed.

Rita Ora

Without a doubt, everyone has the potential to fulfill their dreams. For famous singer Rita Ora, her road to stardom began when she sang in her father’s pub during her childhood days. From then on, she committed to making investments for her career, making cover songs, and composing her own records. Today, she has released several hits, including Your Song, Anywhere, and Let You Love Me.

Along the way, the singer wasn’t only working on her songs, but also her tattoo collection. Throughout her ongoing career, Rita Ora has never been one to shy away from showcasing her fine tattoos. However, perhaps the most significant one is the word “zog” on her neck. Ever since she was a child, her mother would often call her, “Zogi mamti,” which means little baby bird in Albanian.

Shawn Mendes 

Although Shawn Mendes still has a long career ahead of him, Mendes has already released hit records like Stitches, Treat You Better, and In My Blood. Thanks to his catchy tunes, the singer also takes credit for being one of the youngest artists to have numerous Billboard-topping singles before reaching 20 years old.

Like other artists, Shawn Mendes also has his fair share of body art. Among these lovely works include a good few that are quite significant for the guitarist-singer. One such example is his tattoo of a guitar on his right arm. However, this design is composed of various objects, including the Toronto skyline and the wavelength of his parents telling him, “I love you.” Furthermore, his right hand has a sparrow, something to remind him of home – sparrows always return home after their adventures.

Harry Styles

After gaining widespread popularity in the talent show The X Factor, One Direction continued to reach even higher degrees of fame with their following albums – their first four albums topped Billboard charts. However, though they eventually went their separate ways, each member is still just as successful today in their solo careers, too. For Harry Styles, this came when he released hit records like Sign of the Times, Kiwi, and when he made his acting debut in Christopher Nolan’s Dunkirk.

Since the beginning of his career, Harry has undoubtedly shown an ever-developing sense of style. Besides his unique fashion sense, the singer is also quite the tattoo collector. He has almost 50 tattoos. One of his eye-catching works of ink can be seen on his arm: a pirate ship, a symbol he associates with traveling and safely returning home.

Raven-Symoné

Without a doubt, Disney channel has shown us several memorable TV shows during our childhood days. Among these is the comedy sitcom That’s So Raven, with none other than Raven-Symoné taking the lead acting credit. Besides starring in a fair share of films and series, Raven is also a talented singer, with a few songs even making their way to soundtracks for movies like Lion King 1½ and The Princess Diaries 2.

Although the actress-singer surely has good taste in art, she is quite selective with her tattoos. So far, she only has one very significant and meaningful piece of body art. Along with her wife Miranda Maday, the couple share matching tattoos on their ring fingers, combining the initials of their surnames, P and M.The wedding day ink was done by Los Angeles-based tattoo artist Winter Stone.

Harry Jowsey

Thanks to Keeping Up with the Kardashians becoming a big success worldwide, several other TV networks also began spending a good portion of their investment money on their own reality shows. Since then, viewers no longer ran out of real-life celebrity and family dramas to choose from. However, like other TV series, several stars also rose to fame after making it big in this niche genre. One such person is Harry Jowsey, well-known for his time in Netflix’s Too Hot To Handle.

After finishing his run on the show, the reality star pursued other business ventures – he now has a clothing brand called Naughty Possums. Also, recently in 2020, Jowsey began working on his tattoo collection. So far, the only piece of ink in his gallery is a lightning bolt on his index finger. However, after breaking up with Francesca Farago, he removed the matching tattoo.

Rob Kardashian

Reality shows have introduced several people to life under the entertainment industry’s spotlights. One such person is Rob Kardashian, a businessman born to Kris and attorney Robert Kardashian. Alongside his other family members, including Kim Kardashian, Kylie, and Kendall Jenner, Rob became a reality star thanks to the TV show Keeping Up with the Kardashians.

Although he isn’t as popular as his sisters, Rob still manages to be his own person. For more than a few years now, the reality star has made good use of his skin, making it a canvas for several artworks. Among his many tattoos include photo-realistic portraits of both his parents. Another design that, to some degree, resonates strongly with Rob is a bird walking forward while looking back – although Rob keeps moving onward, he’ll never forget the friends he has made.

Zayn Malik

Although they have parted ways for more than a few years already, one can’t deny the high degree of popularity One Direction and its members had during their run. A member of the former boy-group sensation, Zayn Malik, has recently become quite the figure in the music industry. Since his departure, Zayn has impressed fans and newcomers with hit records like Pillowtalk, I Don’t Wanna Live Forever, and Dusk Till Dawn.

Since his days with the group, Zayn has kept several precious moments safe in his tattoo collection. On his right arm is the letters “MSG” above the date, 3-12-12, marking the time One Direction had a sold-out concert at Madison Square Garden. Furthermore, alongside other eye-catching inks are his sisters’ names, Safaa, Waliyha, and Doniya, written in Arabic on his left arm.

Camila Cabello

Another singer who rose to prominence thanks to The X Factor, Camila Cabello was a member of Fifth Harmony before pursuing a solo career. Since then, she has graced radio stations and music-streaming services with records like Havana, Crying in the Club, and Never Be the Same. However, in recent news, the singer seems to have grown an interest in cinema. For the upcoming 2021 movie Cinderella, Camila Cabello got the acting credit for the lead character.

So far, the singer only has one tattoo. On her pinky finger is a quote from her favorite film, Shakespeare In Love, saying, “it’s a mystery.” In a way, the phrase is like a pinky promise Cabello shares with her mother, swearing to each other that things will always turn out fine by the end of the day. However, finger tattoos fade faster than other tattoos, Camila needed to get it retouched. 

Dove Cameron

It’s quite amazing how several actors already made investments for their acting careers at such a young age. Well, such was the case for Dove Cameron. After performing in a few stage plays, Cameron received the opportunity to star in the Disney TV show Liv and Maddie. Eventually, her performance as the two titular leads earned her a Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Performer in Children’s Programming.

Since her teenage years, Dove Cameron has shown great interest in tattoos. Among the many inks she proudly wears includes a gun firing a rose, a symbol often associated with peace. Furthermore, the actress also has an interesting pair, separated by her wrists. On the left is the phrase, “À Naître,” and on the right, “Immortel,” meaning “to be born” and “to never die,” respectively.

Kevin Jonas

The eldest among the trio, Kevin Jonas rose to fame alongside his siblings thanks to their band, the Jonas Brothers. However, besides his music career, Kevin has also made a fair share of investments. Eventually, he founded the Jonas Werner construction company and the marketing company, The Blu Market.

Besides being a musician, songwriter, and businessman, Kevin Jonas is also a happy husband and father. To further preserve the love he has for his family, the singer decided to have it etched on his skin. Before he and his wife Danielle Deleasa celebrated their 10th wedding anniversary, Kevin took the time to get a tattoo. The design in question is a line drawing of Danielle, wearing the gown she wore in the Jonas Brothers’ Sucker music video. He posted a photo on his Instagram, writing, “Brand new addition to the fam.”

Emma Stone

Although she is now well-known in the film industry, it’s safe to say that Emma Stone’s previous line of work was also just as fun. To help her settle with personal loans, Stone once worked at a dog bakery, making sweet treats that can make even the grumpiest pups happy. Coincidentally, two of her earlier roles were for voice acting dogs: one for The Suite Life of Zack and Cody, the other in Marmaduke.

Having a tattoo collection can undoubtedly be quite impressive. However, sometimes having only one is already enough. For Emma Stone, the only tattoo she wears shows two bird feet, a nod to one of her favorite songs of all time, Blackbird, which signifies some fortune or good omen. Funny enough, former Beatles member Paul McCartney was also the one who designed the tattoo for the actress.

Jordyn Woods

Knowing a big-named celebrity can do anyone wonders. With that said, it comes as no surprise that Jordyn Woods had a taste of fame at such a young age – she and Kylie Jenner were friends since they were 13 years old. Although the Kardashians are quite famous, Woods also radiates a distinct degree of popularity. Over the years, she’s had the chance to model for various brands, including Vogue.

Since her big break in the modeling business, Woods has also been expanding her tattoo collection. However, amidst all the pretty minimalist designs, there’s one that she undoubtedly values the most. Woods has the word “forever” on her left collarbone. Besides it being in cursive, what makes this all the more special is the fact it’s written in her mother’s handwriting.

Halsey

In recent years, the internet has become a more accessible place for people to showcase their talents. Through websites like YouTube, several talented artists were discovered, like Justin Bieber , Ariana Grande and Shawn Mendes. With that said, the same thing also happened with the fairly-new-yet-famous singer Halsey, who found her big break after releasing Ghost on SoundCloud. Since then, the investments Halsey made for her music career returned fruitful outcomes.

Taking a picture is often the go-to way for people to preserve significant moments. Tattoos can also do just as much. For Halsey, she has grown quite the collection over the years. One such ink work she proudly wears is a drawing of music artist Lindo above the word “Everything,” the title of his 2016 album – Lido also helped produce Halsey’s debut album Badlands.

Shay Mitchell

Like films, TV shows can skyrocket an actor’s popularity to a higher degree. Through the years, the small screen has introduced numerous good and talented stars, just as much as the big screens have. One such figure is Shay Mitchell, well-known for her role in the series Pretty Little Liars.  Since then, she has starred in other projects, including You, Dollface, and even co-wrote the novel, Bliss.

When production for Pretty Little Liars was nearing its end, Shay and her co-stars decided to get tattoos of their character’s initials on their index fingers. For Mitchell, who portrayed Emily Fields, hers was the letter “e.” However, this wasn’t her first body art. The actress also has a skin-toned drawing of the infinity symbol on her left wrist, leading to the word “love.” Besides, Mitchell also has a Infinity Tattoo on wrist.

Pete Davidson

Like other lines of work, celebrities often start at the bottom and gradually work their way to the top. Well, to a huge degree, this was the case for Pete Davids, one of Saturday Night Live’s cast members, who first performed stand-up comedy gigs. However, for this star’s big break, all credit goes to fellow SNL co-star Bill Hader. After seeing Davidson and his comedic skills on set during the filming of Trainwreck, Hader immediately recommended him to SNL producer-creator Lorne Michaels. As a result, the world was introduced to another talented comedian.

Besides jokes, Davidson also uses tattoos to express his thoughts and emotions. Among the many lovely inks he wears includes a firefighter on his left shoulder, something to remember his late father by – he also has a tattoo of his dad’s badge number, “8418.”

Bella Thorne

A life under the spotlight is apparently not a new matter for Bella Thorne, who got her first pictorial at just six weeks old. Since then, Thorne has worked on several projects, including modeling, filming, and music. In fact, she even spent some investment money on her own cosmetic line called Thorne by Bella.

With her outgoing nature, it comes as no surprise that Bella Thorne also has her fair share of tattoos. Although she now has more than a couple of neat designs, there are two, in particular, that are quite wholesome. Thorne has “B2” written on her left wrist, something her friend Bella Pendergast also has. They marked their friendship by this way. The other is a space-themed design she shares with her sister – she has a crescent moon with two stars while her sister has the planet Saturn.

Megan Fox

Megan Fox may not have the same degree of popularity as other A-list actors, but Megan Fox is surely an actress dedicated to her craft. Well-known for her role in the Transformers and new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movies, Fox has also branched out to other projects. In recent years, the actress gained more recognition with her performance as Reagan Lucas in the TV series New Girl.

Like many other celebrities, Megan Fox is no stranger to body art. Over the years, she has added and removed a fair bunch. Among the tattoos the actress has is a portrait of Marilyn Monroe on her right arm and a crescent moon on her ankle. However, the most recent one she has is on her left collar bone, the words “el pistolero,” supposedly rapper Machine Gun Kelly’s nickname.

Manny Gutierrez

Most of the time, the things we aspire to be are often rooted in events that happened in our childhood. Well, such is the case for makeup artist Manny Gutierrez. After seeing his mother do makeup for most of his younger years, Manny MUA, as he is now known professionally, decided to pursue a career in the cosmetics business. Today, besides blogging on YouTube and Instagram, Manny also made investments in his own brand, Lunar Beauty.

Besides his enthusiasm for makeup and overall cosmetics, Manny Gutierrez also has an interest in tattoos. So far, he has one nicely designed tattoo on his arm. Since his brand’s name is Lunar Beauty, it’s quite appropriate that this tattoo’s motif is a crescent moon. The moon tattoo is so romantic and mysterious that reminds us of universe.

Wiz Khalifa

Ever since his childhood days, Cameron Jibril Thomaz already had a knack for artsy things, especially music. With his stage name originating from “young Wiz,” the nickname his grandfather gave him, and “Khalifa,” the Arabic word for successor, Wiz Khalifa began recording his songs when he was just 15. It’s safe to say the rapper undoubtedly deserves all the credit for committing to his craft through and through.

Besides taking part in songs like Furious 7’s See You Again, Wiz Khalifa is also known for sporting an impressive tattoo gallery. Among the many eye-catching designs he wears, one can’t deny the significance of the “Whiz Khalifa” tattoo he got for his 17th birthday. Although it’s now mixed with newer ones, it’s nice to know his first choice involves something his grandpa gave him.

Lucy Hale

In recent years, several new stars have begun slowly rising to prominence. One such actress is Lucy Hale. Throughout her childhood, before she could worry about matters like personal loans, Hale already began taking acting lessons. Today, she is well-known for her roles in Pretty Little Liars, Bionic Woman, and A Cinderella Story.

The actress has also been working on her tattoo collection. One design dear to her is a lightbulb at the back of her left arm, a subtle callback to her name’s meaning – Lucy is Latin for “as of light.” Another valuable piece of ink is her most recent addition, dedicated to her dog, nephew, and two nieces. On her arm is the pet’s name “Elvis” and three numbers, “14 16 20,” each corresponding to the kids’ birth years.

Jourdan Dunn

At first, Jourdan Dunn was reluctant to pursue a career in the modeling business. However, after watching America’s Next Top Model, Dunn finally made her decision. Today, thanks to her ability to radiate a distinct degree of charm and beauty on the runway, she is now considered a modern-day supermodel.

Like a person’s taste in music, much can also be said about the tattoos they wear. Through the years, Jourdan Dunn has always stood firm in the belief that everyone has a voice worth listening to. This ideal is strongly reflected in the “fear is not an option” tattoo on her arm. Besides being a world-famous supermodel, Dunn is also a happy mother. In fact, she proudly shows it to the world with the “Riley” tattoo on her right hand, her son’s name.

Ariel Winter

Ariel Winter has acted and voiced characters for films and shows like Modern Family, Ice Age: The Meltdown, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, and Sofia the First. However, though she is already a successful actress, Winter is still quite interested in a career as a lawyer. Well, whatever job it may be, it’s safe to say her family, friends, and fans, will surely and always be supportive.

Everyone has precious moments and people they cherish. Through the years, Ariel Winter has shown a deep appreciation for those around her through the tattoos she wears. One such example is the tiger on her back, an animal often considered to be protective. Through this design, Winter encapsulates her love for those precious in her life. Besides, she also has a tattoo of her right hip which says “Love Risks Everything and Asks for Nothing”.

Lauren Jauregui

Before any house was even supplied with electricity, art has often been the go-to medium for expressing thoughts and emotions. To this day, the world isn’t short of people like artists, sculptors, musicians, and actors. Among these creative talents is Lauren Jauregui. Since leaving the group Fifth Harmony, Lauren has focused more on her solo career, collaborating with artists like Halsey and Steve Aoki.

There’s always someone who supports us from behind the scenes. The same can be said for Lauren Jauregui. In her family, the singer was quite close to her grandmother. In fact, the first tattoo she had was to preserve her memory. After her unfortunate passing, the singer got a dragonfly tattoo at the back of her neck, something she strongly associates with her late grandmother. In a post, she wrote, “when she passed I saw a dragon fly everywhere I went and it’s kinda like a reminder that her spirit is still with me.”

Kelly Osbourne

The Osbourne family name also carries the same degree of popularity as the Kardashians, which is why they also got their own reality show, The Osbournes. However, perhaps the most prominent figures in the family are Black Sabbath singer Ozzy and his daughter Kelly. Outside of the show, Kelly Osbourne also works as a model, singer, and actress.

Kelly has developed quite the tattoo collection. However, she’s been removing more than a couple of them, too. Over the years, the designs she has worn include a synthesizer, the word “Lovely” above a four-leaf clover, and a hearts and bones tattoo. However, if she were to still keep a few, it would arguably be the one with her brother’s name, Jack, on her right wrist – and if you didn’t know,  Jack also has a “Kelly” tattoo.

Drake

Like many others, Drake did everything he could to help his family settle with their home and personal loans. For most of his teenage years, he pursued an acting career starring in TV shows like Degrassi: The Next Generation. Eventually, after being inspired by music artists like Jay-Z, Drake decided to make a few songs of his own, too. Looking back at it now, it’s safe to say Drake made the best decision for his career and family.

For the rapper-songwriter, his tattoos are often associated with significant people in his life. One such tattoo is a portrait of fellow rapper and good friend Lil Wayne. Over the years, other artists he admires also found their way into his tattoo collection, including Boy Better Know and Sade Adu. Besides, a flower and bee are inked on Drake’s right shoulder.

Jemima Kirke

Before she even got her college degree, Jemima Kirke already experienced the life of an actor. In her hometown West Village, Kirke worked on several local film projects, including Lena Dunham’s Tiny Furniture. Afterward, Kirke and Dunham teamed up once more for the TV series Girls, where Kirke received widespread praise for her role as Jessa Johansson.

Since she graduated college as a Fine Arts major, it comes as no surprise that Jemima Kirke has a profound appreciation for all art forms, including tattoos. Jemima Kirke has had at least 23 known tattoos. Among the many designs she now wears, perhaps the most valuable piece is the one on her left hand which shows her love to daughter. By the palm, Kirke has an outlined heart with a banner showing the Roman numeral version of “9-25-2010,” the birthdate of her daughter, Rafaella.

Mandy Moore 

Everyone has multiple hobbies. For Mandy Moore, she has always been interested in acting and singing. Throughout her childhood, her parents supported her passion – they even spent some investment money on her acting and singing lessons. Eventually, all that practice and determination paid off. Today, Mandy Moore is a successful singer and actress, simultaneously starring in films and releasing songs.

Like most of us, Mandy Moore also cherishes many aspects of her life. To accomplish this, the singer-actress decided to get them tattooed. So far, she only has a few known designs. One of which is the letter T on her left ring finger, the initial of her husband’s name, Taylor – her husband also has an “M” tattoo on his wrist. Besides, Moore also got a tiny tattoo on her foot in the shape of Mount Kilimanjaro.

Sasha Pieterse

For the most part, our parents are the first people to guide us in our choices in life. Well, such was the case for Sasha Pieterse. Thanks to her parents being acrobatic dancers, Pieterse had a good idea of what an entertainer’s lifestyle would be like. Inspired, Sasha also made investments of her own, eventually becoming an actress and singer. Over the years, the most notable role she had is arguably that of Alison in the TV show Pretty Little Liars.

Like Lucy Hale and Shay Mitchell, Sasha Pieterse also got a tattoo to commemorate her experience in Pretty Little Liars. Since her character’s name is Alison, the actress got the letter “a” inked on her index finger. Other designs she also wears include a hanger on her right forearm and a lovely flower by her left.

Maisie Williams

The Game of Thrones TV series has had a good run. Throughout its time, the show also introduced several talented stars. One of them is Maisie Williams, well-known for her acting credit as Arya Stark. Thanks to her performance receiving worldwide acclaim, Williams eventually had the chance to work on other projects, including Doctor Who, The Falling, and Mary Shelley.

Alongside her best friend and Game of Thrones co-star, Sophia Turner, Maisie Williams also got a “07.08.09” tattoo on her left forearm, the date the two were confirmed to star on the show. She also has another Arya-related piece of ink on her neck, showing the words “no one.” She got this tattoo in July 2018 by the tattoo artist, Mr. K of Bang Bang Tattoo parlor in New York City inked this tattoo. Furthermore, the actress has a daisy flower on her right arm, undoubtedly a nod to her production company, Daisy Chain.

Solange Knowles

Although siblings prefer to be distinct from each other, one can’t deny that some end up with a degree of similarity. The same can be said for Solange Knowles, Beyoncé’s younger sister. After performing as a backup dancer for her sister’s group Destiny’s Child, Knowles pursued her own solo career. Through the years, she has released more than a few hit albums, including Solo Star and A Seat at the Table – the latter was her first number-one album in America.

Like her sister, Solange Knowles is also fond of cherishing a few moments with tattoos. One such piece of body art she wears is a pair of angel wings on her left wrist, a symbol she associates with the cycle of life. What’s more, Knowles got her son Julez’s name on her hip.

Lauren London

More often than not, making it big in the acting business is quite the investment to achieve and maintain. Well, the challenge didn’t scare off Lauren London, who first appeared in music videos for artists like Ludacris, Tyrese, and Snoop Dogg. Eventually, the actress landed roles in films and TV shows like Everybody Hates Chris, Entourage, ATL, and This Christmas.

Over the years, tattoos have become a way for people to preserve their loved ones’ memories. Such was the case for Lauren London. After her partner, Nipsey Hussle’s unfortunate passing in 2019, London decided to commemorate his life with body art. On her right arm is an image of the late rapper, while on her left is a drawing of a note he once gave London.  They would stand by each other forever by this way.

Juan Ángel López

In more recent years, several people have become influential figures thanks to social media platforms like Facebook and Instagram. One such online sensation is Jenni Rivera’s son, Juan Ángel López, who has at least 500,000 followers on Instagram alone. Before her unfortunate passing, Jenni was one of the most well-known musical artists in the Latin community – she also contributed a significant amount of investment money to the music industry throughout her career.

Keeping a picture of your friends and loved ones is often one way of commemorating their lives. However, Juan Ángel López couldn’t settle with just a photo. Eventually, he decided to have a tattoo of his late mother on his right shoulder. That way, she would always be there by his side like a guardian angel. The love between them would last forever.

Keke Palmer

Besides acting, the other investments Keke Palmer made for her career also include singing and songwriting. Over the years, not only did the actress star in successful films and shows like True Jackson, VP and Akeelah and the Bee, she also released a few records, including So Uncool and Lauren.

For the past years, the actress-singer has never been one to shy away from some nice body art. Among them include the writing of her name, Lauren, with a small crown on it on her right wrist. In a way, the design reminds her never to bring herself down, with the crown signifying she’s also a queen in her own right. Other works she has inked include two interlocking hearts behind her right ear and an anchor on her ankle. Besides, she also inked Nubian pyramids and the words “Queen of Kush” on the back of her neck.

Kesha

Over the years, the music industry has introduced several talented artists and hit records. In more recent years, one such star is Kesha. Throughout her career, the singer graced the airwaves with catchy tunes like Tik Tok, We R Who We R, and Learn to Let Go. Besides writing her own songs, Kesha has also taken credit for composing records for other artists like Ariana Grande, Miley Cyrus, and Britney Spears.

Although her singing voice is already noteworthy, Kesha is also quite the stylish figure on the red carpet. Through the years, the singer showcases not only her eye-catching outfits, but also her impressive tattoos. Her tattoo collection includes designs of a tiger on her left hand, a whale on her left forearm made by tattooist Walter Mcdonald, and the word “chill” below a palm tree on her right arm.

Adwoa Aboah

Because her parents are both part of the fashion industry, it comes as no surprise that Adwoa Aboah pursued a career in modeling. After graduating with a bachelor’s degree in Modern Drama, Aboah got the chance to model for several brands, including Calvin Klein, H&M, Versace’s Versus, and Kenzo. Besides gracing the walkways, Aboah is also quite the advocate for mental health awareness – her #CreativeTogether project aims to help people overcome their anxiety issues through creativity.

Adwoa Aboah has always been very vocal with her thoughts. In fact, some of these words even found their way onto her skin as tattoos. The most significant example is the words “Gurl” and “Power” on her right and left hands, respectively, a subtle nod to her mental health organization for women called Gurls Talk.

Paris Jackson

In the music industry, it’s quite a challenge to reach the same degree of popularity as the King of Pop himself, Michael Jackson. Although he unfortunately passed in 2009, his legacy lives on through his family and friends. Paris Jackson is his second child and is also a singer, musician, and actress. So far in her career, Jackson has appeared in films and shows like Gringo, Scream, and recently released her debut single Let Down.

Paris Jackson is also quite a tattoo enthusiast. One of the lovely inks she wears includes a portion of her father’s Dangerous album cover. Another one she recently added is on her neck, written in Elvish, a fictional language in JRR Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings stories. In English, the phrase means “a light from the shadows [shall spring].”

Dakota Johnson

Although Dakota Johnson already had her first acting credit when she was just ten, Dakota Johnson was only allowed to resume her acting career after finishing high school. Since then, she has starred in more than her fair share of movies, including Need for Speed, Black Mass, Bad Times at the El Royale, and Suspiria.

Besides being an beautiful actress, Dakota Johnson is also a tattoo enthusiast. Among the many inks she wears include three flying birds on her back, the word “amor” at the back of her neck, and “Acta Non-Verba” on her left arm, meaning “deeds, not words.” However, Dakota Johnson also wears some nice body art for singer and boyfriend, Chris Martin, including an infinity symbol and the words “I Love You” on her left and right elbow, respectively.

Justin Bieber

Most of the time, becoming an internet sensation can do wonders. Well, that’s exactly what happened with now-famous music artist Justin Bieber. After his mom posted videos of him performing cover songs on YouTube, Bieber eventually became a popular figure on the streaming site. Today, with more than a few hit songs and albums, the singer undoubtedly reached a higher degree of popularity.

Besides having a love for music, Justin Bieber is also a fan of tattoos. Ever since he was 16, the singer already began growing his body art collection. Today, Bieber proudly wears several designs, including a pair of angel wings behind his neck, an owl by his left arm, and a treble clef note behind his left ear. His first tattoo is  a small bird on his hip, which has been a family custom of Bieber.

Simone Biles

Like other sports, excelling in gymnastics takes patience, perseverance, and commitment. Fortunately, Simone Biles possesses all three of these characteristics and more. Since the young age of 6, Biles already began her journey to becoming a gymnast. Eventually, after winning more than a few medals and impressing audiences along the way, the 19-time World champion even earned the credit of being one of the greatest gymnasts of all time – some would even go as far as to say that she is the greatest.

Like many world-class athletes, Simone Biles has showcased her skills several times in the Olympics. Perhaps as a way to commemorate what she achieved and will achieve in the event, she even added a tattoo of its iconic rings logo on her right forearm.  Her second is on the side of her bottom lip. “It just says XO,” she said. “It’s a little faded. I need to get it touched up.”

Demi Lovato

One of today’s famous music artists, Demi Lovato first gained worldwide fame for her role in Disney’s Camp Rock and Sonny With A Chance. However, her first outing under the spotlight came at a younger age. When she was just seven years old, Lovato entertained audiences alongside Selena Gomez in the TV show Barney & Friends.

Besides acting, Demi Lovato has also made a name for herself in the music industry. Along the way, the singer made several achievements in her ongoing career. To commemorate these milestones, she spent some points off her credit card for a few pretty and meaningful tattoos. The most recent addition is the one on her back, showing a fallen angel lifted by three doves. In a post, the singer associated herself with the angel, who receives help from others, especially in challenging times.

Offset

The music industry has introduced several groups composed of members related to each other to some degree. Among these include the famous rap trio Migos, composed of Quavo, his nephew Takeoff, and cousin Offset. Besides making music with the group, Offset has also done some work as a solo artist – he released his debut album Father of 4 in 2019.

Like other members of the trio, Offset also enjoys his tattoos. Over the years, the rapper has had several artworks inked on his body – some say it’s more than 100 already. How shocking the number is! However, for his family, Offset has two tattoos worth looking at. The most noticeable one is his daughter’s name, Kulture, written on the left side of his jaw. Another name is of fellow rapper and wife, Cardi B, located on his neck.

Marc Anthony

With his name originating from singer Marco Antonio Muñiz, it comes as no surprise that Marc Anthony also became a successful artist. Throughout his career, the investments he made for his talents led him to become the top-selling salsa artist ever. Along the way, Anthony also gave a career in acting a shot, starring in films like Man on Fire and El Cantante.

Besides his inclination to music, Marc Anthony is also quite appreciative of art – so much so that he even made himself a canvas for body art. The tattoos on his body carry a lot of meaning for him. Among the many tattoos the singer proudly wears is a symbol for a cross, a pocket watch, and a rosary. He also keeps a few quotes written in ink. One is the phrase, “Just Breathe,” where the two words are separated by his hands.

Zoë Kravitz

Daughter of actress Lisa Bonet and musician-actor Lenny Kravitz, Zoë Kravitz has also become quite a name recently in the entertainment industry. Besides becoming well-known for her role in films like X-Men: First Class and Mad Max: Fury Road, Kravitz has also made investments in the fashion industry, particularly in the jewelry business. Furthermore, like her father, the actress is also into music, singing for the band Lolawolf.

Zoë Kravitz is quite close to her father, Lenny. In fact, the two even share matching tattoos of the phrase “Free At Last.” Furthermore, the actress also has the numbers “5.26.24” inked on her right hand, her father’s birthdate. The actress shows her love to father by this way. Other tattoos she has added over the years include a palm tree on her right arm and a star on her left middle finger.
