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 Gothic script “Know your rights” tattoo located between Jolie’s shoulders is actually a song title lifted from Jolie’s favorite band.
• 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.

Pauley is actually a natural blonde, some of her early T.V. and movie appearances were as a blonde before having her hair dyed to star in JAG, which led into her role as Abby Sciuto on N.C.I.S.

Pauley hates that Abby is referred to as “Goth”. In a recent interview on an Australian T.V. show she admitted to actually owning only 10 tattoos and went on to say that N.C.I.S. is the only job that she has ever worked at where the management actually gets excited when she has some more work done.

But I digress. So, which of her many tattoos are real?

Firstly, the awesome spider web on her neck – fake. Quite frankly I find that to be a crying shame – I really like that tattoo and believe the size and placement suits her pretty face perfectly.

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 ).

The newer version is much more believable in terms of line quality and general appearance and has had the placement changed to be more visually appealing ( picture below ). Pauley also prefers the feel of the new one, the original being a vinyl type temporary tattoo that she described as feeling wet and squishy.

Her second most obvious tattoo would have to be the large cross in the middle of her back. I believe this to be fake also, well at least I hope so, because the placement is all wrong ( picture below right ). A professional tattooist would never have placed it that low – surely. Please let me know if I am wrong.

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.

Abby also has a smiley face on her right middle finger – fake, as far as I can tell.

She has a “P” on the inside of her right wrist which just may be real. Once again, feel free to correct me on that.

The 3 triangles on the inside of her left wrist are almost certainly fake.

She has the letters “R.I.P.” on her left inner forearm which I also understand are fake.

The stick-figure angel on her right shoulder-blade and a stick-figure devil on her left shoulder-blade I am not sure about. I think they may actually be real tattoos.

The flower on her upper back I believe to be real. Only because it doesn’t really fit with the character of Abby and is rarely shown as clearly as some of the other designs that make up the Goth ( sorry Pauley ) personality of Abby Sciuto.

The smiley face on her left inner ankle is almost certainly real as are the 3 dots on her right outer ankle.

So there you go, I have identified 7 tattoos that I believe are real. This means, if I am right, she has at least 3 more in positions that have been concealed on all episodes of the show. Hmmm, the only parts of her that have not seen the lights of the production studio would be the hips, lower belly, chest and bum.

Makes me kinda curious, how about you?

Whatever the case, great work Pauley – You are a STAR!

These days, it is not uncommon for tattoos to be associated with other forms of body art.  In many areas, especially larger cities, tattoo studios are no longer solely tattoo studios, as they also offer piercings.  In combining these two, two issues frequently arise.  First, while many people consider tasteful, well-done tattoos to be a legitimate form of self-expression through artwork, a large number in this category also consider body piercing to be unacceptable;  or, at the very least, undesirable.  It is difficult to communicate this to young people, especially teenagers, when an increasing number of tattoo studios also offer body piercing.  Kids will naturally assume that if artwork is acceptable, acquiring holes and rings in various parts of their anatomies should also be acceptable.

A second important issue regarding this subject is that while states generally have strict regulations surrounding tattoos, that is not always the case with body piercing.  Even when tattooing is strictly regulated to the extent that minors cannot be tattooed, or, in some states, requiring the parent’s consent for the process, it is becoming an increasing problem in some areas that body piercing carries no such requirements.

There are a couple of serious repercussions to this fact.  First, many parents rightfully consider it to be a violation of parental rights to find that “piercing artists” can undermine their parental authority by putting piercings in their under-aged kids, not only without a parent’s consent but without their knowledge in advance.

Second, in the areas where this can legally be done, there is also the issue of health standards.  While the general rule is that a person is presented with risk factors in writing prior to getting a tattoo, piercing artists often allow minors to sign health waivers;  although this is illegal, it is sometimes done anyway.

This opens up a whole “can of worms” with both legal and health issues.  Legally, minors cannot sign such forms;  but the health aspect of it is also worth noting.  As body piercing carries much higher and more frequent risks of infection than tattoos, in signing these health waivers the teenager is rarely aware of how significant these risk factors actually are.  While the risk of infection from body piercing is high enough in general, it can become even more so depending on the location of the piercing.  Having piercings done in areas that are normally exposed to saliva, or airborne dirt, is simply asking for trouble.  Yet piercing artists are often more concerned about making money than they are about the potential health repercussions to their young clients.

In addition to these factors, there is also the factor of social stigma.  While youngsters may be accurate in assuming that acquiring body piercings will impress their teenage or other immature friends, it is not likely that it will impress anyone else.  Even if they withstand parental objections, and ignore the dismay of school staff and employers, they have yet to see that body piercings generally do not go over very well in “the real world”.

Whether one is most concerned with the potential health risks of body piercing, or the general consensus of the population, body piercing has a long way to go before it is considered an acceptable practice.  Tattoos carry some degree of valid purpose;  in the opinion of  most adults, body piercing has no value other than for its owner to appear less than respectable.

Other forms of body art can include branding and scarification, although deemed to be equally “non-conformist” these forms of body modification are seeing an increase in popularity in recent times.

A woman was in a coma for several months when, while carrying out her daily sponge-bath, the nursing staff noticed a minor response as they washed her genitalia. At first they put it down to REM but, as they repeated the same motion, they realized it was more than that.

The woman’s husband was summoned and the situation was explained to him by the treating physician.

“We believe that your wife is very close to regaining consciousness,” he explained. “We think that perhaps a little oral sex will be enough to do the trick.”

“That’s fantastic,” said her husband, clearly overcome with the thought. “After all this time I am really looking forward to having my wife back.”

“That’s great. We will hang a sign on the door and leave you alone with your wife and we will see if this produces the results we all want. It is important, however, that you take things slowly and carefully. Just press the nurse call button when your wife opens her eyes because there will be some tests we need to carry out to check for any long-term damage, etc,” explained the doctor.

“No problem. I hope this works.” said her husband, clearly excited.

So they were left alone for a while and the nurses all congregated around the nurses station awaiting the inevitable summoning buzzer.

About 15 minutes later the whole scene changed dramatically as lights started flashing and warning buzzers alerted the staff to a situation in the woman’s room. The doctor and a handful of nurses all converged on the room to find that the woman had, in fact, flat-lined!

As the nurses prepared adrenaline and charged up the paddles the doctor took her husband aside and asked what had happened in the room.

“I honestly don’t know,” said her husband, clearly surprised. “But, if I had to hazard a guess, I’d say she choked!”

A vampire back arrives back at the roost with his face, mouth and teeth covered in blood! All the other bats get really excited and ask where he got it all from.

“Follow Me!” he says.

Off they flew, over the hills, over the river and into the dark forest.

“See that tree over there?” he asks them all.

“Yes…” they reply.

“Well I fuckin’ didn’t!”

No matter what you may hear, there really is no way to accurately predict the amount of pain that you’ll experience when getting a tattoo.  If you arrive with determination and the right frame of mind, it may not hurt you as much as you thought.  On the other hand, if you arrive at the studio scared half to death – it will more than likely hurt you more than you thought possible.

Tattoos involve piercing into skin, which almost always involves pain.  No matter how big or how small the tattoo may be or where it is located, you can expect to feel some level of pain.  The overall amount of pain you experience though, all depends on your tolerance.  If you have a high pain tolerance, you may feel next to nothing during the entire process.

When you get a tattoo, the needles will puncture your skin at very fast rates and variable depths.  The outline of the tattoo is easily the most painful, as the needles will be used to create a black line that will stand out on the tattoo.  This part needs to be inserted fairly deeply and carefully to ensure that it’s done correctly.  Your body will begin to produce endorphins during the outline process and you will notice a significant reduction in pain after a few minutes. The shading of the tattoo normally isn’t as painful, although it depends on the penetration depth and effect that you desire.

Normally, the pain you feel is a slight burn or scratching feeling.  If the tattoo is going to be on an area where there is less muscle and tissue such as the wrist, ankle or lower back, the pain will be a bit more intense.  Areas like the arms and legs however, normally aren’t that painful.  Areas such as these have more tissue and muscle, which will lessen the amount of pain you feel because the nerve endings are not as close to the surface of the skin.

Even though some pain is to be expected, there are ways that you can minimize the pain.  Below are some tips that will help you deal with the pain.

1. Never show up to a get a tattoo on drugs or drunk.  This will thin out your blood, causing you to bleed more.
2. Always choose a tattoo artist that you are comfortable around.  If you have confidence in your artist you can minimize the pain a great deal.
3. Show up at the studio with sheer determination.  You should accept the fact that the tattoo will take time.  Quality work is an art – and should never be rushed.
4. If the pain becomes too much to bear, you should let your tattoo artist know immediately.  He/she will allow you to take a break, or stop and come back later.  You can always break up your sessions, as tattoos don’t need to be finished immediately.
5. To ease your mind, listen to music.  This way, you can take your mind to a different place and focus on something other than the tattoo. Tattoo pain, like any other pain, will seem amplified if you focus on it.
6. A new product that goes by the name of Dr. Numb is supposed to help reduce the pain endured when getting a tattoo. This product is widely available in the States but, being from Australia, I have had no personal experience with the product and can not verify its effectiveness.

I found this story on InkArtTattoos.com and just had to add my opinion.

The original story goes like this:-

Three years ago, Kim Mordue lost her son Lloyd to a fatal run in with the party drug GHB. Kim’s husband runs a tattoo parlor, and together they’ve found a way to deal with her grief with ink. Lloyd’s ashes have been mixed with tattoo ink, and used to give Kim a new tat. When asked about the tattoo, she had the following to say:

“As soon as I knew it was possible, I wanted to have the ashes tattoos as a tribute to him. Now, he’ll be with me for the rest of my life.”

The tattoo shows a cabala tree, an angel, and a poem dedicated to Lloyd’s memory. We’re honestly not sure whether this is a touching story, or a slightly morbid one… or maybe both. What do you think?

Well, for what it’s worth, here is my take on it…

While some may find this a little creepy, I can appreciate the sentiment. I however would have used the ink in a slightly different manner. I would have sought out the best ‘portrait’ tattooist in my area ( eg. Kat Von D if I lived in L.A. ) and used the photograph the lady is holding in this picture to have a wicked portrait done somewhere prominent, using the ink with the boys ashes in it.

Not only would it be used for a more relevant tattoo, it would serve the purpose of celebrating the boy in a way that did not require as much explanation as the ‘tree, angel and poem’. People would see the boys face, ask about it and it would be fairly simple to explain the process and sentiment behind the job.

That’s Smutly’s opinion…why not leave your opinion…

Q: Doctor, I’ve heard that cardiovascular exercise can prolong life. Is this true?
A: Your heart only good for so many beats, and that it…don’t waste on exercise.  Everything wear out eventually.  Speeding up heart not make you live longer – it like saying you extend life of car by driving faster.  Want to live longer?  Take nap.

Q: Should I cut down on meat and eat more fruits and vegetables?
A: You must grasp logistical efficiency.  What does cow eat?   Hay and corn.  And what are these? Vegetables.  So steak is nothing more than efficient mechanism of delivering vegetables to your system.  Need grain?  Eat chicken.  Beef also good source of field grass (green leafy vegetable).  And pork chop can give you 100% of recommended daily allowance of vegetable product.

Q: Should I reduce my alcohol intake?
A:  No, not at all.  Wine made from fruit.  Brandy is distilled wine, that mean they take water out of fruity bit so you get even more of goodness that way.  Beer also made of grain.  Bottom up!

Q: How can I calculate my body/fat ratio?
A: Well, if you have body and you have fat, your ratio one to one.  If you have two bodies, your ratio two to one, etc.

Q: What are some of the advantages of participating in a regular exercise program?
A: Can’t think of single one, sorry.  My philosophy is: No pain…good!
