Beautiful Celebrity Tattoos

One of the best ways to showcase your personality, your creativity, or a personal story close to your heart is to have your skin permanently inked. In fact, many celebrities choose to display this body art on their forms for everyone to see, and while some of them are a little sketchy, there are others that are just downright beautiful.

These tattoos not only make us fall in love with these famous faces even more, but they also make us want to head down to the nearest tattoo parlor…

Demi Lovato has made no secret of the fact that she loves tattoos, and she has adorned her body with a whopping 22 works of art over the years. In February 2020, she decided to share her latest ink with the world, and there’s no doubt about the fact that they were blown away by the intricacy and beauty of this piece. What’s so amazing about this tattoo is that she told her tattoo artist, Alessandro Capozzi, about her life, and he composed this stunning image to capture inner strength and a higher state of consciousness.

As someone who uses poignant moments in her life to create new body art, Ariana chose to have “Always” tattooed on her ribcage to symbolize the love she had for her former fiancé, Pete Davidson. However, when that relationship came to an end, she decided to add more creativity into the mix. When she showed off this new leaf tattoo for her followers to see, she noted that it was “Not a cover up, just evolvin.” It’s subtle, and it’s beautiful, and it goes perfectly with the many other tattoos that she has adopted over the years.

Let’s be honest; Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner are the coolest couple on the block right now. The Jonas Brother and the actress have actually got a few matching tattoos over the years, but none is quite as beautiful as this script. Featuring a beloved quote from Toy Story, this tattoo is spread across both of their wrists so that they will never forget how much they love each other. As the couple continues their married life together, we can only imagine that their tattoos will get even cuter and even more beautiful.

Due to her career as one of the most iconic supermodels in the world, Kendall has never been one to opt for large tattoos that could potentially hinder her work. So, she has chosen to adorn her body with much smaller and dainty tattoos – and this is just one of them. While this tattoo can barely be seen, it’s been suggested that this was the exact reason why Kendall decided to get it. She wanted this small tattoo to remind her that it’s the little things that matter in life more than anything else.

Many people have tattoos to commemorate a certain point in their life, and it was a big moment for Emma Stone and her whole family when her mother was told that she was cancer-free. The actress wanted to honor the moment with something that really meant something to her and her mom – so she asked Paul McCartney to get involved. As her mom’s favorite song is “Blackbird” by The Beatles, Emma wrote to Paul and asked him to design a tattoo based on that song. This was the design that he came up with, and it’s stunning.

Ashley Benson seems to love small and delicate tattoos, and while she makes sure that these tattoos are personal to her – they don’t have to have a deep and complicated meaning. In fact, her “Pommes Frites” tattoo was inspired by her love of French Fries, and we can’t say that we blame her. Despite the funny subject matter, the simplicity and the line work within this tattoo really make it stand out as being one of the most beautiful we’ve ever seen. After all, sometimes it’s best to keep things simple.

Vanessa Hudgens has fully embraced the tattoo lifestyle ever since her breakup with her long-term boyfriend, Austin Butler, and she definitely suits the ink life. Opting for something that’s incredibly soft and gentle in terms of her designs, this one is one of our favorites. Featuring a divine feminine angel, she decided to have this permanently etched onto her skin on the side of her ribs. Vanessa looks pretty pleased with her ink choice, and we can’t say that we blame her. It’s a beautiful tattoo.

If you’re familiar with the life and times of Miley Cyrus, you’ll probably know that this singing sensation loves tattoos. She has adorned her body with over 60 tattoos over the course of her career, and sometimes she adds another two on one night just because she wants to. This was one of two that she had placed on her body in December 2019, and this delicate script reminds her that life is all about “Freedom.” Although this wild lady probably doesn’t need reminding of that too often, this is still an impressive tattoo.

Known for her love of animals, Cara Delevingne has made sure to leave space on her body for some of her favorite creatures. While everyone knows her for the lion that sits prominently on her hand, she decided to add another animal to her body zoo a few years ago. On this occasion, she opted to have an extremely delicate single-needle elephant etched into her skin. Featuring one realistic side and another that’s more geometric, it’s fair to say that this tattoo is pretty cool and unique.

Over the course of her career, Chloe Moretz has made no secret of the fact that she loves tattoos. More than anything, she loves intricate tattoos that really mean something to her. Because of this, it was a no-brainer when she opted to honor her grandmother through the medium of inking. Using elegant cursive, this tattoo artist perfectly scrawled “Janette Duke” on the back of her ribs, and it looks incredibly beautiful. Judging by this photo, Chloe couldn’t wait to show it off on social media for everyone to see.

Lea Michele is a hugely famous actress and singer, and it’s fair to say that she has been pretty successful in terms of her professional career. However, her personal life has seen devastation over the years, and this was especially true when her boyfriend and Glee co-star, Cory Monteith, passed away. To honor his life and legacy, Lea opted to have the number 5 tattooed onto her body. This was Finn Hudson’s – Cory’s character – number on his football jersey in Glee, and something she will always remember her late partner by.

Emilia Clarke is a hugely famous actress, and although she has worked on countless projects, most people know her as Daenerys Targaryen from Game of Thrones. She has noted that playing the “Mother of Dragons” changed her life in so many ways, so she knew that she had to commemorate this role when it came to an end. Now, etched onto her skin forever, are her dragons that will always be by her side. They’re simple and uncomplicated, and they suit her perfectly while also meaning so much to the actress.

As you can see from this photo, Justin Bieber is no stranger when it comes to tattoos. He regularly makes his way into the inking chair, and every time he comes out with something even better than the last. One of his latest tattoos is new ink around his neck and collarbone in the form of a stunning laurel wreath. While it’s not known why he specifically chose this tattoo, the laurel wreath is often a symbol of nobility and triumph, alongside its various religious connotations. Either way, it’s pretty awesome.

Over the course of her career, Lena has chosen to wear her numerous tattoos with pride, and she made no secret of the fact that she was incredibly proud of her new tattoo in September 2019. She debuted her new ink on social media, where fans could check out her new scarab beetle design. This particular beetle has long been associated with Egyptian mythology, and it’s often suggested that this particular animal is associated with divine manifestation, development, and growth. Because of this, it seems as though it means a lot to the actress.

Zoe Kravitz has over 50 tattoos on her body, and while she seems to have a love for all of them, she wanted to get one covered up back in 2019. She had once had an Arabic script on her shoulder, but she wanted the whole thing to be covered up with something more beautiful. So, she asked her tattoo artist to work their magic and bring a dragonfly to life on her skin. The end result was truly something special, and it’s hard to imagine that there’s actually another tattoo under there. After all, it’s so intricate!

Pete Davidson doesn’t need too much convincing when it comes to tattoos, and while he has chosen to have various things tattooed onto his body on a whim, other inkings have been much more deliberate. This was the case for the script that appears on the back of his neck. On here, the phrase “mille tendresse,” can be found – and those of you familiar with the iconic movie Breakfast at Tiffany’s will know that this film made that phrase famous. He got this tattoo during his relationship with Ariana Grande, and she has the same tattoo on her neck.

While there’s no doubt about the fact that Ariana Grande is a huge success, her career has been plagued with troubles. In 2017, her concert in Manchester, England, was struck by a terrorist attack that caused hundreds of people to lose their lives. Ariana has since struggled with PTSD and guilt over the event, but she has also used her platform to help the families and the local community in Manchester to deal with the events. Because of this, she had a tattoo of a worker bee – a symbol associated with the city – tattooed behind her ear.

A huge name in the music world, Halsey has often used her platform and her art to showcase her personality and the various events that have gone on in her life. She has also been inspired by other artists, and she made this apparent in one of her tattoos. This single-line tattoo sits on her neck and reads, “I’m a loser baby.” Halsey took inspiration from Beck’s famous song, “Loser,” which just so happens to be one of her favorite songs. Well, it’s one of the most delicate and beautiful tattoos we’ve ever seen.

While it’s fair to say that Billie Lourd has made an epic career for herself, nobody will be able to forget the impact that her mother and grandmother – Carrie Fisher and Debbie Reynolds – have had on the world. On what would have been her mother’s birthday, Billie decided to honor her mother with a beautiful tattoo that features a crescent moon, twinkling stars, and even a planet thrown in for good measure. What’s amazing is that Carrie Fisher had a similar tattoo herself.

Dakota Johnson has developed a deep love for tattoos over the years, and she now has a few impressive inkings to her name. One of her most delicate and most beautiful tattoos, though, just has to be the flower on her forearm. Dakota chose this design not only because she loves flowers, but also because this particular flower wasn’t quite perfect. She wanted to remind herself that while she is a flower in her own right, it doesn’t matter if she has a few loose or crumpled petals. Even with the crumpled petals, it’s still stunning.

Paris Jackson and her siblings sadly lost their father when they were just youngsters, and while the world mourned the passing of the King of Pop, nothing could have prepared the children for a life without their dad. However, Paris has made sure that her father is with her at all times, and she has done this through her tattoos. On one foot, Paris has “Applehead” written in script – and this just so happened to be Michael Jackson’s nickname for his daughter. By getting this tattoo, he can now guide her forward with every step she takes.

While most people know David Beckham for his soccer skills, he has made no secret of the fact that he loves his family more than anything. He has etched his skin with countless tattoos over the years, and one of the most beautiful ones actually showcases the love that he has for his family. While this may look like a rather rough sketch, this stick figure was actually drawn onto his skin by his daughter, Harper Beckham. As soon as David saw it, he knew that he had to have it permanently on his body.

Megan Fox is no stranger to the tattoo chair, and she often goes pretty bold with her choice of tattoos. One of her most recognizable tattoos comes in the form of the script written on her shoulder blade. What you might not realize, actually, is the fact that “We will all laugh at gilded butterflies” is a quote from one of Shakespeare’s most popular plays, King Lear. While the wording has been changed slightly, it’s still incredibly poignant and beautiful in its medieval font.

As someone who prides herself on being incredibly creative and artistic, it should come as no surprise to learn that Lana Del Rey has numerous tattoos. While many of these are hidden, there are many others that are out on display for everyone to see. Perhaps one of her most popular tattoos comes in the form of the script that can be found on her hand. Although you might not be able to read it, this script actually spells out “Paradise,” and it seems as though she’s pretty proud of this beautiful tattoo.

Much like her husband and her best friend, Kendall Jenner, Hailey Baldwin has also opted to have numerous tattoos scattered across her body. Although Justin goes hard or goes home with the size of his tattoos, Hailey has always preferred smaller and more delicate tattoos that aren’t too fussy. In fact, Kendall Jenner designed this tattoo for Hailey, and while there are only two letters on each hand, they come together to form one powerful word when she puts her hands in the praying pose. It’s pretty awesome.

If you’re familiar with Kylie Jenner and her tattoos, you may know that she has had many inking sessions in the past – and many of them were done in red ink. While it’s not known why Kylie has chosen to stick to this one color, there’s no doubt about the fact that all of them have got their own meaning. A few years ago, she decided to honor her grandmother Mary Jo – or MJ – by etching her name onto her forearm. What’s more, this tattoo was actually written out in her late grandfather’s handwriting.

Hilary Duff isn’t the kind of person to just get a tattoo for the sake of it, and she wants all of the inkings on her body to really mean something personal to her, her life, her career, and her family. Because of this, she only has a couple of tattoos so far – but this is certainly the most beautiful. Hilary broke the internet when she posted this photo of her tattooed roses because nobody could quite believe how intricate and detailed they were. They are small tattoos, but they are certainly mighty.

Kelly Osbourne has not only had numerous tattoos over the course of her lifetime, but she has also had numerous hairstyles – and this has allowed her even more space to cover her body in ink. After shaving her head and hearing the news that there had been a nightclub shooting in Orlando, Kelly decided that it was time to have a tattoo she had been wanting for years. So, she had the word “Solidarity” tattooed onto her scalp so that she could remember that “Every human is precious,” and that, “You are not alone.”

As someone who isn’t afraid to show off her ink, many fans have wondered about the tattoos that Scarlett Johansson has adorned on her body. She has around six tattoos that she has adopted over the years, but most people know her for the beautiful roses that can be found on her back. While she hasn’t outright spoken out about the significance of the roses, it’s been suggested that they were inked into her skin as an homage to her daughter, who is called Rose.

As a hugely talented musician, there’s no doubt about the fact that Lady Gaga is extremely artistic and creative. She often uses this creative flair to think up amazing tattoos, and it’s believed that she now has almost 30 tattoos adorning her body. Perhaps the most iconic tattoo out of all of them is the beautiful monster claw that can be found on her back. While it’s not a scary monster claw that some of her “Little Monsters” were expecting, it’s still elegant and beautiful – which sums up Lady Gaga perfectly.

Rita Ora is certainly not short on tattoos, and sometimes she will even get her favorite tattoo artists to work their magic in a hotel room because she’s so desperate to get another. This was the case in 2014 when she had this ballerina inked freehand onto her skin in her hotel room. Seemingly an homage to one of her friends, she noted in a social media post that she and her friend are, “Gonna be ballerinas when we’re 102!” Rita has since welcomed even more tattoos onto her body, but this one is incredible.

Many artists use their body art to honor their work as musicians, and Selena Gomez is one of those artists. She has often chosen to showcase just how proud of her songs and albums through the medium of tattooing, and this was no different when Selena released her 2020 album, Rare. While her subsequent tattoo wasn’t a hit-you-in-the-face tattoo because it was much smaller than others we have seen, but the meaning behind this tattoo and the album itself is incredibly poignant. Because of this, it’s a very beautiful tattoo.

Every member of The Jonas Brothers has got themselves inked at some point or another, and Kevin Jonas has made sure that all of his are extremely significant. This particular tattoo made its way onto his body in 2019, just after their music video for their song “Sucker” made its way into our lives. This video featured the wives and girlfriends of Kevin, Nick, and Joe, and Kevin wanted to honor his wife and the beautiful dress that she was wearing in the video. So, he got a simple outline tattooed on his skin.

Chrissy Teigen probably doesn’t strike you as the kind of person who will get themselves tattooed, but it seems as though she has done just that – but she had to make sure that the inking was just right. Her adorable tattoo allowed her to make her way into the realm of “cool mom” because this tattoo is more than just a few numbers. This tattoo is full of birthdays, and it’s been suggested that these are the birth dates of her parents, her two children, and her husband, John Legend.

Miley Cyrus has had so many tattoos over the course of her life that we could write about them for days, but this is one that really stands out for being incredibly beautiful. After her breakup with Liam Hemsworth, Miley made her way to Italy for a getaway – and it’s been said that she stumbled across artwork that she just fell in love with. When she returned back home, she asked her tattoo artist to turn that artwork into the artwork on her skin, and this was the beautiful finished picture.

Since finding fame on The X Factor and within One Direction, Zayn Malik has spent a huge portion of his fortune on incredible tattoos. In fact, it’s even been noted that he had Gigi Hadid’s eyes tattooed in the middle of his chest. One of his most beautiful tattoos, though, can only be seen when he has his head shaved. This intricate mandala-like tattoo snakes up around his ear, and while we’re sure it was a painful tattoo, we’re sure he agrees that the pain was definitely worth it.

Many celebrities get matching tattoos with those close to them, and that’s exactly what Lucy Hale and her best friend did. They decided that they didn’t want to go over-the-top with their design, but wanted a few words that would really sum up how they wanted to live their lives. The words, “Love her but leave her wild” are extremely poignant to both of them, and there’s no doubt about the fact that this is a stunningly simple design that doesn’t need anything else to make it perfect.

Joe Jonas isn’t the kind of person who goes to the tattoo parlor for just one tattoo, as he regularly makes his way into the chair and doesn’t leave until he has two or three inked onto his skin. This was the case a few years ago when he opted to have four tattoos all in one sitting. Two of these can be found on one arm, and it’s fair to say that they’re pretty beautiful. If you’re familiar with the work of Pablo Picasso, you might actually recognize these two drawings as two of his sketches.

Tattoos don’t always have to be big and bold to make a statement, and Sam Smith used that to his advantage when he chose to get a tattoo on his finger. Sam has opted to have numerous tattoos over the course of his career, but these two lines represent so much more than just ink on skin. This equality sign also showcases his stance within the LGBTQ+ and marriage within this community. The fact that this tattoo is on his ring finger is even more significant, and even more beautiful.

Although many people joke that they would love to have eyes in the back of her head, it seems as though Cara Delevingne took that to the extreme. She decided that one of the best ways to showcase her philosophy on life was to have her own eyes tattooed on her neck, and this is one of the coolest – and most beautiful – tattoos that we have ever seen. Cara wanted this tattoo because she wants to remind herself that sometimes it’s better to view the world from a different perspective than from the same place every day.

Kaia Gerber may still be a teenager, but she has already discovered a love for tattoos and inking her skin with something that matters to her. She has ten tattoos already, and all of them are small, delicate, and extremely intricate. This particular tattoo can be found on her arm, and it’s actually a tattoo of a Pablo Picasso sketch. Called the “Lady With Bird,” Kaia believed that this sketch was incredibly beautiful, and she knew she wanted it to be etched on her skin for the rest of her life.

Fans of Halle Berry will know that she has had numerous images etched into her skin over the course of her career, but they were pretty surprised when the actress posted this photo on social media for the world to see. They were overwhelmed with the beauty and the movement within this floral back tattoo, and they couldn’t believe how amazing it looked on her body. Sadly, Halle later revealed that it wasn’t a permanent tattoo – but if we were her, we would seriously consider it as a permanent addition.

Jessica Alba has previously spoken out about tattoos that she had when she was younger, and she has even warned people of getting inked without really thinking about the consequences. It seems as though she regrets some of the tattoo choices she has made in the past, but there’s no doubt about the fact that this one was as well-thought-out. That’s because Jessica made the decision to have the constellations of her children’s zodiac signs tattooed on her forearm in incredibly delicate lines. It’s beautiful.

Sophie Turner has adopted over 10 tattoos over the course of her life and career, and her adorable little bunny got many people talking. One of the main reasons for this was because it was simple, but that it also might have an extremely significant meaning. Sophie hasn’t publicly spoken out about this meaning, but it’s been suggested that this tattoo is in reference to her first meeting with Joe Jonas, where she was wearing a bunny costume. Of course, that might not be the case, but it’s still pretty cute.

With a tattooed father to look up to, Brooklyn Beckham has followed in David Beckham’s footsteps and tattooed himself up over the years. Like his father, Brooklyn has also dedicated a huge number of those tattoos to those who mean something to him. While this date may seem rather small and insignificant in comparison to other tattoos on his body, this is the ultimate homage to his father. That’s because that’s the year that David Beckham was born, and Brooklyn wanted to honor that.

We’ve already seen that Paris Jackson likes to pay homage to her father within her inked artwork, but there’s no doubt about the fact that this particular tattoo is one of the most incredible tattoos that she has on her body. Featuring the artwork from her father’s impressive album, Dangerous, one of the most beautiful aspects of this tattoo is her father’s eyes looking out at her. This allows her to remember that her father will always be watching, despite the fact that he’s no longer with her.

Like many other supermodels in the world, Bella Hadid has chosen to stay away from large tattoos. Instead, she opts for smaller ones dotted around her body, here and there. She has adorable little wings on her feet, but she also has this teeny-tiny rose on her arm. One of the main reasons why this tattoo is so beautiful is because it doesn’t seem deliberate. It seems as though this little rose just landed on her arm, and decided to stay that. For that reason, we think it’s stunning.

Rihanna is one of those artists who does what she wants and doesn’t apologize for doing so – and this is especially true when it comes to her tattoos. Rihanna has adorned her body with countless tattoos in the past, and she loves to show them all off. In this photo, you can see Rihanna doing just that with her new ankle tattoo, which just so happens to show her birth year. You can also catch a glimpse of her hand tattoos, which have become iconic over the years.

As one of the most famous actors that the world has to offer, Orlando Bloom has decided to spend some of his hard-earned money on a beautiful tattoo that really means something to him. While the first version of this tattoo was incorrect, the actor soon got it fixed – and the message behind this ink could really be appreciated. That’s because these lines and dashes actually shell out his son’s name in Morse code, meaning that he is with him wherever he goes.

One of the main reasons why people get tattoos is because they mean something to the person who has to wear them for the rest of their lives. For that reason, it doesn’t matter what other people think about them – which is perhaps why Joey King has kept the meaning behind her tattoo pretty quiet. Featuring ancient lettering and shapes, we don’t need to know what this says or what it means to appreciate just how beautiful it is. Joey seems pretty proud of it, so that’s all that matters.
