In India, tattoos are frowned upon in the professional and matrimonial world. But when you're a celebrity none of that matters. With every passing year celebrity tattoos are becoming more and more visible in Bollywood. Akshay Kumar got one because he missed his son and so did Arjun Rampal for his two daughters. We see celebs from the world of films and sport displaying their tattoos and body art on television or magazines. Gone are the days when tattoos were looked down on with contempt. Today they're very much a part of the mainstream culture in Bollywood and Hollywood. Let's meet the people who are an important part of making tattoos much more than a fad.
Sanjay Dutt
The bad A*s of Bollywood Sanjay Dutt is a part of the tattoo brigade. Sanjay has a large tattoo of a lion etched onto his arm.
Valorous as it may be, the tattoo becomes a headache for his makeup man who sometimes spends more than two hours in concealing his body art.
50 Cent
The gangsta rapper displays his tattoos in their full glory in music videos as he performs without a shirt. 50 Cent has a tattoo of the number 50 inscribed on his back, this is along with his neighborhood Southside and Cold World.
The rapper reasons that the tattoos represent where he’s from. Another tattoo that can be seen on his bicep is of a Marquise with an axe. He explains that though the axe signifies his warrior spirit, he wouldn’t want his son to get something like that.
Akshay Kumar
Akshay Kumar is another action star to have got himself a tattoo. Unlike Sanjay’s tattoo which symbolizes bravery, Akshay’s tattoo is sentimental in nature.
The tattoo is in the name of his son Aarav. The dad got this done when he began missing his son’s presence.
Britney Spears
The princess of teen pop who began with a squeaky clean image, but as her career progressed she started sprouting tattoos all over her body. This was all part of Britney’s transformation, she has a tattoo of a fairy on her waistline and a tattoo of a cross below her belly to name a few.
Her other tattoos are located on her foot, wrist and the back of her neck. Britney’s most notorious tattoo is the one she got after she shaved her head. The spectacle drove the paparazzi into frenzy.
Raveena Tandon
The ‘Mast Mast’ girl was one of the first actresses bold enough to get a tattoo. In fact this would make her the unlikely trendsetter in a way.
The tattoo is located close to her shoulder, it bears the mark of her zodiac sign; the scorpion.
Johnny Depp
The classy actor has had a romance with body art that has lasted more than two decades. Johnny sports his tattoos for sentimental reasons, he has tattoos of people and places that he values.
Of the 11 ‘visible’ tattoos on his body, there is an engraved heart with the words ‘Betty Sue’ that honors his mother. Another tattoo over his heart has the words Lily Rose inscribed in ornate lettering; this one is in the name of his daughter. A tattoo of a bird in flight on his right forearm is in the name of his son and popular onscreen character Jack.
Esha Deol
Esha chose the occasion of buddy Zayed Khan’s film function to display the tattoo she’s been wanting for a long time. The actress got the Gayatri Mantra inscribed on the back of her right shoulder.
The actress stated that her devotion was the cause for choosing the tattoo. Thankfully for Esha the moral police wasn’t watching television when she unveiled her tattoo.
Angelina Jolie
Among the female celebrities, Angelina has to be the one on top of the list. Of course her list of tattoos continues to grow this includes a large thai tattoo of a tiger on her lower back. Her tattoos are a reflection of her personality, exotic and with more than just a hint of dangerous sensuality.
Angelina has made the tribal dragon one of the most popular tattoos for women. She manages to combine her wild streak with elegance, perhaps that’s what attracted Brad...
Arjun Rampal
Arjun is yet another person in the list of doting parents to have the names of their tots inscribed on their bodies.
The actor has the names of his tots Mahika and Myra on the insides of his forearms.
