Victoria Beckham’s Tats – Scripture, Stars and Hidden Meanings


Victoria Caroline Beckham was born April 17, 1974. She is a dancer, model, singer, fashion designer, actress and songwriter. The former spice girl has a bunch of tattoos. One of her tattoos is a design with five stars on her lower back.  The stars are a symbolic tribute to her husband and her two sons. Victoria’s tattoo on her back is also a match for the one on her husband’s back. It is a scripture from the book of Solomon 6:3, and 1:3. She has her husband initials DB on her wrist, and the date she and David first become lovers. Her latest tattoo is located on her wrist under the letters DB, it is said to mean “we think”. If she wants to catch up to David she has a little more ink to add, her shoulders maybe would be a good place to start?

Nikki Sixx Has Made His Body a Interesting Canvas of Tattoos

Good job Nikki! We’re not just talking about a few simple this and thats to gain respect as an 80s rocker but he went full on body-as-a-canvas. The Japanese themed stuff looks good, the sun on his back is a nice design, just about all of it is interesting and has good color. You can see a little of the progression from his early days (nice leather pants). There is barely enough room for updates, I wonder if he is done yet. A few of them do look like 80s rocker designs but thats cool, he was after all a real 80s rocker. And there are more than a few fans paying homage to Nikki with their own tats.

Miley Cyrus’ Inconspicuous Tattoos

Destiny Hope Cyrus, star of Hannah Montana and known today as Miley Cyrus was born on November 23, 1992 in Nashville, Tennessee.  She’s the daughter of famous country singer Billy Ray Cyrus and has made a fortune since a very young age in TV and lately music.  The beautiful actress, songwriter, and singer seem to have several tattoos plastered over her cute little body. Located on her right torso is a decent sized dream catcher. Appearing on her fingers are the tattoos of a small cross with a heart. Miley Cyrus also has the word “love” tattooed on her ear, and on her rib cage is the phrase “just breathe”.  The tattoo “Just breathe” is an honorary memorial to one of her closet friends. Her friend died of cystic fibrosis. She has started out small but being this young we peg her for one of those gals that might get a full sleeve tat or a big back tattoo one day.

 

Wait a minute that skull is not what she really has there! Nice try though.

Nicki Minaj’s Chinese Script Arm Tattoo

What is the meaning of Nicki Minaj's tattoo? Answer "God Is With Me"

New York Singer and rapper Nicki Minaj was born Onika Tayna Maraj on December 8, 1984 in Trinidad and Tobago. Nicki released her first mixtape called “Playtime is Over” in 2007 and quickly gained a following. It was Lil Wayne who discovered and signed her to a record deal at his Young Money Entertainment company. She released her debut CD titled “Pink Friday” in 2010 achieving platinum sales.

What does Nicki Minaj tattoo mean?
She only has one tattoo on her on her left arm. It’s written in Chinese and means
“God is with me”.

We like it, it looks good. You might ask why in Chinese? Well, for one it looks good in Chinese calligraphy. It might look ok in English calligraphy too but how do you write English vertically? Not very easily. Also, this way, unless you speak Chinese (like 1/6th of the world), you have to ask or wonder what it means. Kind of like a little half secret. We might suggest a fat little Buddha near by this tat and some waves and koi fish to complete the scene.

Alex Pettyfer’s Cross Tattoo and Goes Around, Comes Around

Alex Pettyfer is from England and started out modeling. In 2005 he began acting and just recently has really started rolling, getting prime time Hollywood gigs – the main actor in I am Number Four and in Beastly alongside some other Hollywood big timers. Interestingly for us, the character in Beastly has face and neck tattoos (and Arabic script tattooed for eyebrows (who knows what that says?)). But this is supposed to be designed to minimize the impact of the characters scars. We didn’t see the movie so we don’t know what the metallic looking body modification on his face is supposed to be.

The cross tattoo is ok but it looks a little bare. We suggest a swirling circular serpent Celtic mandala to surround the cross with dark green and blue shades. Also, the text on his shoulder could use some kind of framing, a band or design underneath it to give it more of  a substantial look.

He also has something on his wrist and is rumored to have Arabic script on the inside of his arm but we haven’t found evidence of that one.

 

 

Thank You it says, in Chinese?

This one is in English, it says - What goes around comes around. We've heard that one somewhere before

Angelina Jolie – Enormous Tiger Tattoo and Things Written All Over

One of the world’s most beautiful and talented movie stars (arguably), Angelina Jolie was born June 4th, 1975. She has starred in hits such as Tomb Raider and the comedy Mr. & Mrs. Smith, which also stared her famous husband Brad Pitt. Angelina has numerous tattoos. Many are rather odd but we like that she hasn’t been afraid to remove and redo when necessary, always improving the canvas even if you can see the remnants of the old ink underneath. She has one of her brother’s initial, the letter  “h” located on her left wrist.  The Roman numeral 13 on her left forearm, an Arabic gesture meaning “strength of will”, a Latin cross on her left abdomen, and symbols from the Buddhist prayer which covers up an old Japanese tattoo, which means death. Among her other tattoos are “know your rights”, an Asian tiger (with a dragon underneath), the letter “M”, map coordinations with personal meaning, the words “Quod me nutrit me destriuit”, two sharp edged black tribal symbols, “tears” and “toil”, and small swirly Roman numerals. She had the Billy Bob dragon tattoo on her arm laser removed when she divorced her ex-husband Billy Bob Thornton.


Here’s a look at her before she started seriously:
