Celebrities Love Tattoos
It is not really surprising to learn that many celebrities love tattoos,
nor is it surprising that those who are in the public eye and in the media
have quite a significant influence on the American population's fascination
with tattoos. The stars have tattoos, so all of their fans want tattoos
also. For celebrities, age is not a factor; older stars as well as the
younger ones have them. We know all of these people-- but how much do
we know about what unique styles of artwork they have?
One of America's most longtime popular movie stars, Robert DeNiro, has
appeared in movies sporting numerous tattoos. Whether or not his fans
realize that they are only accessories for his films, the fact is in real
life Robert DeNiro has only one tattoo, that of a black panther. Another
actor who shows off many tattoos in his movies is Johnny Depp; all of
his, however, are real. Bruce Willis also has a few tattoos; most notably
the symbol of his movie "Die Hard."
Tattoos have long been in style with musicians. Former teen idol Justin
Timberlake has a guardian angel, amongst others. Rapper Eminem has more
tattoos than can be counted, including his daughter's name and his own.
The wording on Keith Urban's wrist, "Omni Vincit Amor" is Latin for 'Love
Conquers All;' he also has an eagle on one arm.
Some sports celebrities also go for tattoos. Michael Jordan has his fraternity
symbol tattooed above his heart, while Dennis Rodman is a virtual canvas
of artwork.
Not to be outdone, many female stars also show various degrees of artwork.
Young actress Drew Barrymore is essentially a canvas full of tattoos;
it is said that she created most of the designs herself. Reese Witherspoon
is more subtle, wearing only one small star tattoo which is rarely visible.
Pamela Anderson has a variety of tattoos also, the most notable being
the word 'Mommy' on one finger, which reportedly used to read 'Tommy.'
Spice Girl Victoria Beckham has five stars to represent each member of
her family, her husband's initials, and the traditional Jewish phrase
'I am my beloved's, and my beloved is mine.'
Some of today's supermodels also sport tattoos. Kate Moss, Christy Turlington,
and Stephanie Seymour all have these permanent forms of fashion accessories.
Most supermodels who opt for tattoos show fewer and smaller designs than
celebrities in other fields.
While many celebrities have had tattoos for a very long time, the popularity
of tattoos amongst stars has been increasing, both in the number of celebrities
who have them and the number of tattoos that they have. A very few have
only one tattoo; more and more are taking on a large number of tattoos
as well as more and more visible tattoos, using skin as a canvas for nearly
unlimited varieties of permanent artwork.
As celebrities show off their tattoos, and this is picked up by the media,
it presents an ever-increasing influence for their fans, especially amongst
the younger generation, to want to do likewise. As with anything else
that stars do in the public eye, their influence with tattoos helps this
form of artwork become more widespread, more popular, and more acceptable
to most of the American population in general.
