Angelina Jolie’s tattoos may well be as interesting as the star herself. Every tattoo tells a story, every artwork has a secret – how interesting can a tattoo get? The super star is probably known for her superb interesting body work – as much as she is known for her seriously admirable acting skills. Needless to say, a good number of websites, as well as magazines, have highlighted her incredible collection. If you want to find out more about amazing Angelina Jolie tattoos, go ahead and read on.

- The weird lines on Angelina’s left shoulder blade are simply Buddhist Pali incantation. It is created in the shape of Khmer, Cambodia’s official language. The super star obtained the tattoo to provide protection for both her and Maddox, the child she adopted from Cambodia. The meaning of Angelina Jolie’s tattoo, the Buddhist Pali incantation, is:- May your enemies run away from you. If you acquire riches, may they remain yours always. Your beauty will be that of Apsara. Whenever you may go, many will attend, serve and protect you, surrounding you on all sides.
- The Arabic font tattoo seen on Jolie’s right arm caused quite a controversy. A lot of people disagree over what the tattoo’s definition. Is it “Strength of Will” or “Determination”? Whatever the keyword is, the said tattoo conceals the previous tattoo she made with then lover Billy Bob Thornton.
- The Roman number 13 can be seen on Angelina’s left underarm. She made the tattoo to in order to symbolize her cynicism towards belief on superstitions. Later, she added V MCMXL to the same tattoo in order to signify her reverence for the legendary Winston Churchill. 13 May 1940 symbolizes the occasion when Churchill proclaimed, “I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears, and sweat.”
- On Jolie’s left arm though is Tennesee Williams’ legendary line, “A prayer for the wild at heart, kept in cages.” Angelina’s mother saw how the tattoo was done.
- Angelina’s cross tattoo is reported to be especially symbolic. Jolie created it before marrying her first husband, Jonny Lee Miller. The Latin phrase, “Quod me nutrit me destruit” is located near Jolie’s cross tattoo. It means “What nourishes me, destroys me” in english.
- On the super star’s wrist, a rune style tattoo can be seen. It is in letter h. Numerous people fight over what the letter h signifies. Does it mean Hutton for Jolie’s ex, Timothy Hutton, or is it Haven for James Haven, Angelina’s brother?
- There are also groups of numbers on Angelina’s skin, these happen to be the geographical sites where Angelina’s children first entered her life.
- The Bengal tiger tattoo on Jolie’s lower back acts as a celebratory mark to commemorate her latest Cambodian citizenship. Actress Angelina Jolie flashes her back to display her tattoos in a scene from the movie Wanted. She got the tiger tattoo on her lower back by a well-known local Thai tattoo artist named Sompong Kanphai during her visit to Bangkok on July 8, 2004, just after her 2 day visit to Cambodia.

It’s difficult to keep track of Angelina Jolie tattoos. The actress just keeps on obtaining one or removing another whenever she feels like it.
Nevertheless, her choice of body artwork will always be as interesting as she, herself, is.
Many of Angelina Jolie’s tattoos are masked with a tattoo concealer for her various movie roles.
As an avid fan of the hit T.V. series N.C.I.S., I have watched Pauley Perrette (Abby) with a keen interest since very early in the piece. Maybe it’s because of my interest in tattoos, but I think it is equally because she has such a sexy nature.
BTW – Has anyone else noticed that it is drawn differently now than it was in the first few episodes? Early on it was drawn with heavy lines and the centre point was much higher up behind the ear than it is now ( picture right ).
Abby also has some tattoos on her forearms and, as far as I can discern, the infinity symbol on the inside of her right forearm is real. Again, let me know if I am wrong and I will update this post and give you an honorable mention for straightening me out.

Q: Doctor, I’ve heard that cardiovascular exercise can prolong life. Is this true?
