we wouldn’t dream of covering up these
masterpieces of body art welcome to
watchmojo.com and today we’re counting
down our picks for the top 10 best
celebrity tattoos Oh Minnie tat you
can’t even count I’m up in the shop very
weak I can see the kid enough for this
list we’ve sifted through the finger
mustaches and lower back butterflies
that make the tabloids to determine the
most magnificent meaningful or daring
pieces of body art tatted on celebrities
we’re mostly considering singular pieces
of art so while a person’s collection of
ink and the extent to which tattoos have
influenced their lives are taken into
account they’re not the be-all end-all
of this list it’s her 18th tattoo and
she is believed to have gotten it in
honor of the health scare in her life
that recently made headline number 10
woman wearing a sombrero Danny Trejo 42
the first five years the first five
years I was like inmate number one I was
a tattoo guy number one audiences have
grown to know and love Trejo thanks to
his menacing roles in films like machete
and desperado but viewers may not know
that prior to his film career he
actually engaged in behaviors that
landed him in some tough prisons it was
in these facilities where he inked his
chest with this lovely Mexican cowgirl a
little Mexican lady with a sombrero you
know uh sporting a sombrero and pinned
directly over his heart she takes up the
vast majority of his torso the sombrero
woman along with his other tats has
earned Trejo the nickname illustrated
man when I saw him for the first time he
saw me and he ran towards me and ripped
his shirt off and he said I knew you
before I knew you I dropped you before I
knew you and sure enough there was a
picture of a woman that looks exactly
like me
number 9 fitties back fitty cent got
what you need
within 2 club 21 questions and candy
shop fitty cent made himself pretty much
untouchable it’s an ironic ironic it is
the washing dogs have me thinking about
that kept on going equally impressive is
the rapper’s assortment of tattoos
especially his 50 back tattoo which is
an absolute work of art spreading over
the tat is a banner reading Southside
representing fitties affinity for his
home neighborhood of South Jamaica
Queens the massive design is one of the
few tattoos phidias kept since he
decided to remove several pieces of body
art in order to help his burgeoning film
career sometimes it’s a woman who winds
up kicking in the balls the hottest
Stella Mary you damn straight I don’t
trust no bitch number 8 Tiger Adam
Levine
[Music]
does a tattoo have to mean something
most of the maroon 5 lead singers cats
holds some sort of significance he inked
the Dove and cherry blossoms 5 days
after 9/11 as a tribute and the mom
tattoo speaks for itself she didn’t like
it she said I still don’t like it
then there’s the massive back tattoo
with a mermaid that reportedly took six
months to make but when it comes to the
tiger though well no one can quite seem
to figure it out on the tiger ink Levine
has said it quote was inspired by his
love of this amazing book of Tibetan
drawings but that raises more questions
than it answers this is just a bunch of
stuff that means absolutely nothing you
know regardless the tiger is his
standout tat it’s awesome no doubt about
it and that’s exactly why we’d love to
know the story behind it number seven
black out body Tim Commerford
Tim Commerford most known for tearing it
up as bass guitarist and backup vocalist
for Rage Against the Machine has also
become a popular figure in the inking
community he’s been a pioneer of black
out tattoos meaning that rather than
using black ink for specific designs he
uses it to create a base and allows
empty space to be the creative vehicle
his most well known and highly visible
blackout tat covers a large portion of
his body stretching from his left leg up
his back and finally wrapping around his
shoulders to display two symmetrical
swirls we’ve seen blackouts become more
and more popular in the early 21st
century but Tim will always be able to
say he was one of the first
number six boombox Travis Barker
[Music]
famous for his drum work with blink-182
travis barker is pretty much covered
head-to-toe in tats but amid all the
chaos of the Virgin Mary’s and the
Marilyn Monroe’s one tattoo stands out
never failing to catch the eye the boom
box a big old-school cartoonish stereo
system finds itself planted smack dab in
the middle of the drummer’s stomach
symbolically the boombox maybe among
Barker’s most important tattoos as it
signifies his undying yet playful love
for music the boombox represents the
music that has shaped Barker’s life
since he was just a young boy and
continues to shape it today
number five the goddess Isis Brianna I
admit I overuse algebra that shit I was
picking T as a phone on her and I’ll
give it a baby pleased covering her
sternum and spreading beneath her
breasts
Rihanna flaunt this tat in many of her
videos and Instagram posts however
that’s not the reason it’s on her body
rather Rihanna wanted to honor her late
grandmother whom she sincerely admired
she selected the Egyptian goddess Isis
because she represents the ideal version
of a mother and wife tweeting the
picture Rihanna wrote quote complete
woman model for future generations
hashtagging her grandmother and
professing the special place she holds
in her heart so while the TAT certainly
adds to Rihanna’s beauty remember that
to Rihanna it means so much more money
number four Jack swallow Johnny Depp
captain Sparrow
the black pearl is yours despite the
long list of incredible roles Depp is
filled Sweeney Todd Ichabod Crane
Gilbert Grape
his most famous character is far and
away Captain Jack Sparrow of the Pirates
of the Caribbean franchise
Amanda’s attack of the characters
tattoos depth chose to keep one which
depicts a flying swallow
well well Jack Sparrow isn’t it Captain
Jack Sparrow he did however make some
alterations Deb changed the direction of
the swallow to have it flying towards
rather than away from him and he also
wrote the name of the son Jack
underneath the bird with the changes the
tattoo takes on even more meaning
representing the love Depp has for his
son and the certainty that he like the
sparrow will always quote fly back you
cool
spread wings and soar like eagle above
enemy fly back to our chief tell her of
my brave defeat that’s crazy
Indians can’t fly course they come
quantico one-to-one number three
Bengal tiger Angelina Jolie we will not
see a slowing of the number of refugees
crossing borders and in fact quite the
opposite
before she was such a philanthropist
humanitarian and one-half of the couple
every tabloid gushes over Jolie actually
had a bit of a wild streak which led to
some interesting stories and awesome
tattoos arguably her most famous and
stylish tat is the Bengal tiger she
covered her lower back with in 2004
measuring 12 inches long and eight
inches wide she had the tiger inked with
a manual needle by artist Sam punkin pie
in Bangkok to celebrate her newly
confirmed Cambodian citizenship
finalizing the artwork kanpai Blessed
Jolie and the tiger with an ancient him
more elegant words may serve it better
but it is undeniably cool my kids always
love that refer to the tiger so
so for them it’s kind of dislike normal
thing where mommy’s half tiger right
she’s a tiger and she’s an animated
Tiger cheese on Sawgrass over number two
Native American bird Anthony Kiedis Oh
[Music]
okay we have to commend all members of
the Red Hot Chili Peppers for their
dedication to interesting body art
former pepper guitarist John Frusciante
has that gnarly octopus covering his
shoulder and well fleas entire
collection is worth noting but it’s the
lead singer who claims the most
captivating work of art spanning the
upper half of his back from shoulder
blade to shoulder blade Kiedis sports a
large Native American bird debate
remains as to whether it’s of Incan
Aztec or hide an inspiration however two
facts cannot be ignored one it like many
of his tattoos is definitely a tribute
to Native Americans and in case you
didn’t know he’s got Mohican ancestry
and two it’s a seriously amazing
