Today’s celebrities are no stranger to the wonderful art of tattooing. Their tattoos are actually what influence a lot of people who aren’t famous celebrities to get tattoos. Most celebrities get tattoos for the same reasons as we do. They want to be different, show who they really are as a person, and display their own unique sense of style.
Some of the famous celebrities that have tattoos are Britney Spears, Angelina Jolie, Pink, and Kid Rock. Most musicians proudly display their tattoos and so do several actors. For example, you may be surprised to know that Drew Barrymore has angels on her back, a butterfly under her belly button, a blue moon with smile and a start at the tip of her right foot, and flowers on the inside of her left hip bone. Actor Nicholas Cage has an upper back tattoo of a monitor lizard with a top hat, a small design on his left shoulder, and a Ghost Rider flaming skull on his left bicep. Actor Kiefer Sutherland sports a barbwire armband, “I Trust You To Kill Me” written in Icelandic Runes on his right forearm, and the Chinese symbol for strength. Even the singer Taylor Swift has a tattoo on her foot.
As you can see, several celebrities have tattoos. Their choices are often just as personal as ours. Although, the fact that they are celebrities does make their tattoos a bit more popular than ours. It clearly does not help them to get work. The most popular female celebrities with tattoos are Angelina Jolie, Britney Spears, and Drew Barrymore, and yet their careers are still going strong. The most popular male celebrities with tattoos are Johnney Depp, Ben Affleck, and Billy Bob Thorton. There is no lack of work for these guys either.
But if you really want to get technical, tattoos are for anyone who appreciates fine body art. The recorded most tattooed celebrities are 50 Cent, Nicole Richie, Kevin Federline, Eminem, Pamela Anderson, Christina Aguilera, Bow Wow, The Game, and Method Man. Amongst the designs of their tattoos are The Game’s name on his neck, a small flower on Christina Aguilera’s left wrist, a barb wire arm band around Pamela Anderson’s arm, three Hebrew symbols on the back of Britney Spear’s neck, a large mushroom on Eminem’s shoulder, 50 Cent tattooed on 50 Cent’s back, wings on Nicole Richie’s back, and a large clown, which is tattooed on Bow Wow’s left shoulder. But these are only a few of the several designs of many celebrities with tattoos.
It always seems to do a certain design some justice when we see our most famous celebrities sporting them. One may think differently about angel wings or butterflies until they see their favorite celebrity with them. It is a known fact that our celebrities have the leading influence over the tattoo world. You might even look at them as a source for some of the best design ideas. But, when it comes down to it, they are people just like us and appreciate the same things as we do.
