James Sparrow isn’t it number 10 Teddy
rensen
the equalizer when Bob McCall an ex
black ops commando played by Denzel
Washington comes out of retirement to
take on the Russian mob head hitman
Teddy rensen stands in the way and
judging by Renton’s body art this guy is
very far from friendly among the man’s
many mafia tats there are symbols to say
that he’s killed he’s available to kill
again he’s done time and he’s a
high-ranking criminal from images of the
devil to death inspired artwork Renton’s
body art is about as foreboding as they
come
number 9 Joliet Jake and Elwood blues
the Blues Brothers knuckle tattoos are
always at least a little bit badass well
frankly they’re offensive given their
prominence on the hand and association
with being behind bars and Jake and
Elwood blues boasts some of the best
knuckle Inc on film jake has the four
letters of his own name on one hand
Elwood has six letters spread across two
typically knuckle tattooed stay within
the four-letter rule think love/hate or
maybe even mojo but while Jake fits fine
Elwood breaks convention which makes it
even better number eight the Joker
Suicide Squad the third installment in
the DC extended universe is packed with
badass body art from Harley Quinn’s
retro diamonds to El Diablo’s full body
flames these guys have clearly got a
taste for the gun
but the Joker out inks them all Jared
Leto’s comic book villain has a crazed
hahaha a corpse jester gangster
lettering and a permanent grin itched on
his hand between his thumb and
forefinger I love this guy he also
proudly dawns the word damaged across
his forehead and there’s a dead robin on
his bicep make of that what you will out
of character The Suicide Squad cast is
also awash with real-life share tattoos
with famous images showing margot robbie
behind the needle hell’s wrong with you
people for bad guys it’s what we do
number 7 Barney Ross the Expendables
action hero extraordinaire Barney Ross
checks off all the badass boxes big guns
bulging muscles the steely look of a man
who’s seen a lot of bloodshed in his
time this Sly Stallone character has
been there done that
and got the tattoos Barney’s chest and
shoulders are covered in awesome artwork
perfect for a man of his experience in
real life Stallone has actually gotten
numerous tattoos to cover up various
acting injuries he’s picked up over the
years from burst veins to torn muscles
and countless medical stitches Stallone
skin certainly has some stories to tell
number 6 John wick John wick Keanu
Reeves rampaging hitman is emblazoned
with many a menacing or ominous tattoo
but one piece is particularly memorable
wick has the Latin phrase for dis
Fortuna ADEA watt across his shoulders
which translates to fortune favors the
bold
an apt slogan given the killing spree
which unfold it also nods to wick
military past and has personal
connotations for Reeves himself
the phrase is a motto for the 3rd
battalion Marines which are stationed in
Hawaii where his biological father is
from whatever the reason behind this
wordage this character clearly lives up
to expectations tonight
number five Tommy Riordan Conlon warrior
on tattoos alone Tom Hardy’s casting his
MMA fighter Tommy Conlon seems inspired
the actor gained around 28 pounds of
muscle for warrior and his freshly hone
physique is adorned with all his own
body art among Hardy’s ink is a portrait
of the Virgin Mary till I die pledge to
his ex-wife the words smile now cry
later and a tribal design on his upper
right arm the movies makeup team did
have to extend Tom’s tribal to cover up
another piece an Irish leprechaun he got
when he was fifteen number four Darth
Maul Star Wars Episode one The Phantom
Menace at last we will reveal ourselves
to the Jedi although he’s one of the
most recognizable characters in Star
Wars history the meaning behind Darth
Maul’s iconic appearance is to some
extent shrouded in mystery his red and
black markings are traditional to his
homeland of Dathomir and as he was the
apprentice of Darth Sidious his
malevolent master is responsible for
inking him up
you have been well-trained my young
apprentice some theories say that mauls
markings carry healing and strength
powers while it’s widely accepted that
Syst a twos are a sign of skill and
position no doubt that getting them is
an intensely painful experience though
so let no one question darth maul’s
dedication to the dark side
[Music]
number three blade blade this guy sure
knows his way around a weapon Wesley
Snipes blade is a vengeful vampire
hunter and the spiky tribal tats across
his shoulders neck and back are all part
of his intimidating look the awesome
spikes and swirls design covers much of
his upper body and thanks to his
trademark sleeveless getup
this ink is on show for much of the
movie add shades a sharp haircut a
mustache and a samurai sword and you’re
looking at one of the best badass
characters on film
you can feel highs opening everywhere
number two Luke Glanton the place beyond
the pines according to director Derek
Cianfrance it was Ryan Gosling who
suggested that his character Luke
Glanton should be seriously inked and
the actor who had set his sights on
having the most tattoos in movie history
did not shy away from the challenge
Luke’s tattoos are explained as
reminders of his past mistakes and
include biblical references in violent
designs even Gosling himself had doubts
about some of the choices however
especially the bleeding dagger on his
cheek partway through the first day of
filming Gosling backtracked on the
facial piece and asked to reshoot but
see in France kept it in arguing quote
that’s what happens with a face tattoo
you regret it including
you can’t quit before we unveil our
number one pick here are some honorable
mentions amazing
kalana number one Lisbeth Salander The
Girl with the Dragon Tattoo the clue is
in the title with today’s winner lisbeth
salander’s body art is so badass it
receives top billing for one of the 21st
century’s most successful book to film
adaptations when David Fincher took the
director’s chair for Stieg Larsson’s
widely acclaimed thriller all eyes were
on exactly how he’d recreates that
tattoo a dark and menacing design its
mythological subject is almost as
dangerous as the computer hacking
tattooed gun brandishing character who
wears it Lisbeth is not to be crossed
and her skin offers a fierce reminder of
what she’s capable of life though I’ve
never done and there will be blood do
