Celebrities With Tattoos

David Beckham celebrated the birth of his baby daughter Harper with tattoo of her name on his chest. With over 15 other tattoos on his body including a crucifix on the back of his neck and 10 roses around his arm - representing his 10 years with Victoria - Dave's rapidly running out of skin space!

Horrible Bosses star Jennifer Aniston paid tribute to her late dog Norman by tattooing his name on the inside of her foot. The A-listers certainly do love their pets!

Glee star Lea Michele may play good girl Rachel Berry in the hit musical TV show but in real life there’s a tougher side to her. With a total of nine tattoos (at last count!) including musical notes on her shoulder, “I Believe” on her right wrist and a gold star inspired by her Glee character, we spotted a blue butterfly on her foot while she was filming the second season finale in New York.

Hayden Panettiere wowed the Tribeca Film Festival crowd in a beautiful D&G halter neck dress that revealed the Scream 4 star’s scripture tattoo running down the side of her back. Reading “Vivere senza rimipianti”, translated from Italian the tattoo means “to live without regrets” although with an additional “i” unfortunately it’s been spelt wrong!

Popstrel Miley Cyrus revealed her new tat on Twitter.  We thought the teen sensation might be toughening up her good girl image but with those cute-as-can-be pigtails she’s still the daddy’s girl she always was.

Angelina Jolie's perfectly-sculpted bicep already featured the map co-ordinates of the birth places of her six children and now the movie beauty has added a seventh - in honour of her partner Brad Pitt. The actress and Goodwill Ambassador unveiled the new body art, which reads N 35°20'33" W96°56'34" (which refers to Pitt's birth place of Shawnee, Oklahoma, USA) on a trip to the Libya/Tunisia border with the UN. 

Katy Perry sports a cutie strawberry character on her ankle – who looks like he belongs on a yoghurt pot! Reportedly, whilst getting the strawberry done she also asked for a fake ‘Josh Grobin’ tattoo on her chest to show off to the paps when they pounced on her as she left. We love Katy’s sense of humour, and she proved her romantic side when she showed off her Sanskrit (Russell Brand-matching) tattoo at the launch of Volkswagen Jetta in NYC in June 2010 as a unique declaration of love. Awwww!

Fearne Cotton claims she is addicted to tattoos and would cover her entire bod in them if she wasn’t on TV so frequently. We love, love, love the sexy fern leaves climbing her torso and were bewitched by the twinkle-toes star and vines tattoo on her right foot.

Megan Fox has an image of Marilyn Monroe on her right forearm and a tribute to her husband, Brian Austin Green. Megan gets philosophical with a quotation by Freidrich Wilhelm Nietzsche, ‘And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music.’ She also romantically refers to Shakespeare’s King Lear with the statement, ‘We will all laugh at gilded butterflies’ on her right shoulder blade. Incredibly Megan Fox’s torso reveals that ‘there once was a little girl who never knew love until a boy broke her heart’.

Kelly Osbourne has around 15 tattoos and revealed that she used the outlet to rebel against her parents. Kelly has a mixture of tattoo’s ranging from a keyboard, a skull and cross bone on the arches of her feet, a padlock and key with the text ‘Daddy’, an anchor, and a pair of cute angel wings on her back. It may be that Kelly is not so happy with her body art now, but we still think those wings are oh-so-cute!

Not only is Angelina Jolie a true beauty, she is also a walking text book of mysterious symbols and ancient languages. She sports a Buddhist prayer to bless her son Maddox on her upper back, written in Khmer, a Cambodian script. She’s also been pictured with Roman numerals, ‘Strength of Will’ in Arabic, the powerful statement ‘know your rights’ on the back of her neck, a tiger of Bengal and even the co-ordinates of satellite images of places of high importance to her –including the birth place of her son Maddox! Famously, Jolie also sports a tattoo of Billy Bob Thornton’s name. Some of her earliest tattoos include a Chinese dragon, a Latin cross and the Japanese symbol of death!

Cheryl revealed her sexy tattoo beneath this sheer pink Alexander McQueen fringe dress whilst celebrating her 26th birthday at The Vanilla Club. She also sports a daintier pattern on her hand that she showed off at the premiere of Outside of the Law at the 63rd Cannes Film festival in Cannes in May 2010.

Kate loves her tattoos and has revealed an adorable heart on her wrist, a star on the back of her ankle, two super-sweet swallows on her lower back and, in February 2010, she showed off an arrow on her right wrist in aid of the Naked Heart Foundation at The Love Ball at London’s Roundhouse.

Miss Ritchie also loves the spiritual imagery and sports a cross of unknown origin on her lower back as well as pair of tiny angelic wings on her upper back, a Rosary on her ankle and foot and ‘Virgin’ scribbled on her left wrist, we won’t ask Nic! We think the Ballerina Slippers –as a nod to her dad, Lionel Richie and the song he wrote for her- is super, super cute. A definite case of Daddy’s Little Princess!

Just call Rihanna the human doodle! she has copious amounts of little symbols and phrases jotted all over her, including a revolver on her back, a Pisces sign behind her right ear and a Sanskrit prayer tracing her hip. Most recently, Rihanna had her motto, ‘Never a failure, always a lesson’ reversed onto her chest. But we adore the twinkling stars falling from her neck down her back and the oh-so-sweet ‘love’ tattooed on her left middle finger!

Another serial tattoo-go-getter! Fans are fascinated by the numerous symbols etched down Victoria Beckham’s neck and back, which is a quotation of the Bible’s Song of Solomon in Hebrew. She also has the Roman numerals of 8 May 1997 – a date nostalgically alluding to a certain type of intimate anniversary that she shared with hubby David! By far the sweetest has to be the romantically spiralled DB initials on her wrist. Awwwww!

A little birdy told us that Sienna is all starry-eyed for her tiny tattoos; namely three incy twinkly stars on her shoulder, a lone-star tucked below her belly button and a special dove on her wrist. We love Sienna’s subtlety and ever-so girly choice of images. We’re seeing stars and tweety birds!

We love this chic-chick’s ubiquitous double C logo! Its so tiny, so sweet, and so attainable; the Chanel transfers are available for everyone and won’t leave a mark on your skin once they’re gone. Perfect for those fleeting fashion fems who frequently change their minds – so that practically means every woman will be clawing for Emma’s Chanels!

We didn’t take our Scarlett for the tattoo type, but lo and behold, our au-natural-all-woman Scarlett has a lone depiction of a setting sun on her forearm that supposedly is very personal and makes her feel happy. Well that is good enough for us Scarlett, its oh-so pretty too!

At Glastonbury this year, Emma accessorised her grungy-chic attire with a temporary tattoo of two birds with text that read ‘mother love’. Tres Adorable!
