Angelina Jolie is by far the most famous female celebrity who is well known for her love of tattoos. There is nothing discreet about her tattoos as judging by pictures of her public appearances, she likes to show them off whenever she can.The Bengal tiger tattoo which can be seen in the above picture on Jolie’s lower back was done as a celebratory tattoo to commemorate her Cambodian citizenship.
When Angelina Jolie is shooting a film, her tattoos are usually covered with make-up. She also has had some of her tattoos removed. One of them, what appears to be the remnants of a dragon design, can be seen on her left upper arm.The cross tattoo is reported to be especially symbolic. Jolie had it done 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”.
The Gothic lettering tattoo - "know your rights" - that this is found between her shoulder blades is the title of a song of her favorite band.
On her left shoulder blade is a Buddhist Pali incantation written in Khmer, the official language of Cambodia . This was done by tattoo artist Noo Kanhphaiin in a hotel in Pathum Thani, north of Bangkok. This tattoo is meant as protection for her and her adoptive Cambodian son Maddox from bad luck.The apparent translation of the 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. "
