Celebrity tattoo stories

Though Rihanna often experiments with weird hair-do and outfits, she has kept body art thing simple. The R&B singer has left a trail of stars going down from the back of her neck that seems to proclaim about her starry life. We are mentioning just one among the many (there are 10 more!).

Where can you find a daisy, a lotus and a lady bug? The answer is on Jessica Alba. The svelte beauty has got so many of such small neat tattoos. On her arm, we can find the word “Padma” (lotus) in Sanskrit.

Scarlett Johansson has a colourful little tattoo on her arm in the shape of a sun rising over the ocean with a star in the sky. She says the tattoo brightens her mood every time she looks at it. A simple one like her! We liked it.

Wonder why David Beckham has spared his face. The hot hunk has tattoos all over his body and he even confessed his addiction to them. The long list of Beckham's tattoo includes Victoria's name in Hindi, her portrait on his forearm, the names of his children...the list goes on. We are sure those playing on the field with Beckham are glad he wears a long sleeved shirt. Imagine the distraction it would have caused otherwise!

Like husband like wife...Posh Spice too is fond of tattoos. We can find a quote from Song of Solomon in Hebrew that reads: "I am my love’s and my love is mine, who browses among the lilies." Victoria thus sealed her love for her David with a tattoo. Posh, we never knew you had a religious streak.

She is the lady that makes people go gaga! Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta aka Lady Gaga has got only three tattoos... less compared to her fellow celebs. Gaga has quoted her favorite philosopher - Rainer Maria Rilke inside her left arm that reads: "In the deepest hour of the night, confess to yourself that you would die if you were forbidden to write." Go ahead Gaga, we would love to read your stuff.

How can we forget our own Saif Ali Khan. The dude has proclaimed the intensity of his feelings for Kareena by marking her name in Hindi on his arm. We all know from where the guy has got inspiration. Since marriage seems some time away, we wonder how long the tattoo will endure. All the best Saif!

Another prominent tattoo on her body is a face of her idol Marilyn Monroe on her right fore arm.

Uber sexy Megan Fox has got many tattoos on her body. An encryption on her right shoulder reads, "We will all laugh at gilded butterflies" - a line adapted from Shakespeare's 'King Lear'. The hottie, it appears, has a balanced view of life. She has a 'yin and yang' tattoo on her left inner wrist. The cutest of all is a poem inscribed beside her rib cage that reads "There once was a little girl who never knew love until a boy broke her heart." ...

 

Most things about Angelina Jolie make news. The metallic butterfly's body art is meaningful and interesting at the same time. She has the phrase "know your rights" tattooed below her long neck (quite apt for her rebellious nature). On the left side of her back, there is a prayer of protection, a Sanskrit blessing encrypted in Cambodian language in honour of her first adopted son Maddox. With more than a dozen tattoos to decorate her body

The RK tattoo (her ex Ranbir Kapoor's initials) on Deepika's nape remains her style statement even after she broke up with the beloved Kapoor kid. Though she is seeing Sidharth Mallya these days, Dippy has made it clear that "RK" is there to stay. Seems like she loves to cherish those good old memories

On her left arm, Sushmita has a tattoo that reads 'Temptation' with the T shaped like a dagger. Her right arm has a tattoo that says 'Glory to God alone'. Intrestinly, her favourite tattoo is that of a tiger cub on her lower back. Sush's latest tattoo reads, 'Aut viam inveniam aut faciam', which means 'I'll either find a way or make one." Sush explained that it's a dictum that she lives by.

Likewise, the actor, who was seen with Jackson in 'Ek Deewana Tha', inked his ladylove's name on his arm. It is apparently an open declaration about their love.
