fuck, I never realised she had such utterly cool tattoos!!
Angelina Jolie Tattoos
She has at least a dozen tattoos.
When shooting a film, her tattoos are covered with makeup. Each one of her tattoos have a special meaning.
Here's an overview with pictures of Angelina Jolie's tattoos:
Angelina Jolie Know Your Rights Tattoo.
This Gothic letter tattoo between her shoulder blades says "Know Your Rights". It's the title of a song of her favorite band. (wonder who that could be then folks!!)
Angelina Jolie Khmer Tattoo
This tattoo on her left shoulder blade was, just like the tiger tattoo, done by tattoo artist Noo (aka Sompong) Kanhphaiin in a hotel in Pathum Thani, 16 miles north of Bangkok. It is a Buddhist Pali incantation written in Khmer script, the language of Cambodia. It is there to protect her and her adopted Cambodian son Maddox from bad luck.
Here's the translation:
May your enemies run far away from you.
If you acquire riches, may they remain yours always.
Your beauty will be that of Apsara.
Wherever you may go, many will attend, serve and protect you, surrounding you on all sides.
Angelina Jolie Arabic tattoo
This Arabic script tattoo on Angelina Jolie's right arm means "Strength of Will". It covers up the abstract lines tattoo she had done together with her ex Billy Bob Thornton.
Angelina Jolie's 13 tattoo
This tattoo on her left underarm is the Roman number 13. She had it done because she doesn't believe in superstitions.
Later she had V MCMXL added to the tattoo. 13 May 1940 is the date when Winston Churchill gave a famous speech, in which he said: "I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears and sweat".
Angelina Jolie arm tattoo
This tattoo on Jolie's left arm are the words of Tennessee Williams:
"A prayer for the wild at heart, kept in cages."
Angelina Jolie had this tattoo done in the presence of her mother.
Angelina Jolie cross tattoo
This cross tattoo covers the little dragon with the blue tongue she had done in Amsterdam. Next to it is a phrase in Latin:
"Quod me nutrit me destruit", meaning "What nourishes me, destroys me."
Angelina Jolie had the cross tattoo done the day before she married Johnny Lee Miller in 1995. In her own words: "It was all symbolic, and it was a good thing, nothing dark."
Angelina Jolie rune tattoo
This rune style tattoo on Angelina's wrist is the letter h. Depending on the source it is to remind her of her ex boyfriend Timothy Hutton or her brother, James Haven.
