Angelina Jolie: Know the Meaning of 17 Actress Tattoos

Actress Angelina Jolie, who won a best supporting Oscar for "Interrupted Girl, " is one of the most famous in Hollywood. Her expressive face and hypnotic lips are desires of many people who have her as an ideal of feminine beauty. Another curious detail about Angelina's body is her numerous tattoos - at least 17 of them! Check out the meaning of some:

1. Left Shoulder Numbers

This is a constantly evolving tattoo and represents the geographic coordinates of the birthplace of each of your children: Maddox (Phnom Penh, Cambodia), Zahara (Adi Ababa, Ethiopia), Shiloh (Swakopmund, Namibia), Pax Thien (Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam) and Knox Léon and Vivienne Marcheline (both from Nice, France).

2. Buddhist inscription on the back

The message says something like, “Let your enemies flee away. If you earn riches, let them always be yours. Your beauty will be that of Apsará. Wherever you go, many will serve and protect you, surrounding you on all sides. ” This message covered the Japanese "death" ideogram that was covered by this tattoo in honor of Maddox. And she did it in Thai style: praying on her knees and with the tattoo artist using long needles and hammer.

3. Lumbar Bengal Tiger

The famous Thai tattoo artist Noo Sompong Kanhphaiin, responsible for the above tattoo, also made the one located on the lower back of Angelina Jolie. He used the same ancient technique for the spell. Tiger tattoos often have various meanings, ranging from strength and power to beauty and ferocity.

4. Rune on the left wrist

The rune tattooed by Angelina on the left wrist means the letter "H", and the actress says it is a tribute to her brother James Haven. However, as she did while dating actor Timothy Hutton, there is the theory she did for him.

5. Roman numerals on the left arm

At first she tattooed “XIII” (13) to show that she was not superstitious. Then it became a date XIII - V - MXMC (13th of 1940), which was when Winston Churchill said "I only have to offer blood, suffering, tears and sweat."

6. Quotation on the left arm

Another quote, close to the Roman numerals, is author Tennessee Williams, who says, "A prayer for the caged-hearted rebels."

7. Arabic quote

Already on the right arm, the actress tattooed in Arabic a word that can be translated as "determination." But it could also say "enchantment" or "spell, " according to another Arab site.

8. and 9. Name of ex-husband and dragon

In place of the birth coordinates of children, it was previously possible to read the name of her ex-husband Billy Bob (Thornton) and a dragon. She first deleted the name of the ex, with whom she stayed from 1999 to 2003, and then replaced the dragon with tribute to her children.

10. Inscription on the nape

Just below the neck, you can see the phrase “Know your rigths”. Angelina is a strong human rights advocate and has already received the Academy Award's Jean Hersholt Award for her humanitarian work around the world.

11. and 12. Black cross and Latin inscription

A huge black cross adorns the actress' right groin region and was made in 1995, the day before she married actor Jonny Lee Miller. The Latin inscription "Quod me nutrit me destruit" next to the cross can be translated as "What nourishes me also destroys me".

13. Tribute to Brad Pitt

Despite saying that she would do nothing more for a man, after erasing the name of Billy Bob, Angelina did an inner right thigh tattoo for Brad Pitt - at the time, her husband.

14. Buddhist Swirls

Angelina enjoys Buddhist tattoos made in traditional ways and has made these swirls on her left arm that symbolize good luck and protection.

15. Thai Symbols

Called Sak Yant, these traditional Thai tattoos are full of meaning. The middle square contains mystical inscriptions and represents the four continents and the four elements (earth, fire, water and wind).

16. Thai Talisman

Above the square is the Yant Phutson, a traditional Thai symbol for the Five Gods.

17. Buddhist Symbol

On the right shoulder blade, Angelina tattooed the Yant Kraw Petch (diamond armor), which highlights the virtues of Buddha. It is supposed to be for protection and luck.
