Another one for the trendsetting diva. Like an entreaty for calm in the storm of celeb life, this inked script shows what she means when she brings her index finger to her lips: “Shhh…”.
This is quite a clever tattoo, and we’re loving its uniqueness. In case anyone doesn’t understand what the universal ‘finger to the mouth’ gesture means, Rihanna’s tat is there to clear it up.
Lana Del Rey's Dark Side
Musician Lana Del Rey’s tattoos tend toward the morbid but meaningful. “Paradise” for the afterlife, “die young” scripted down her finger, and “trust no one” on the poet’s left hand.
She’s also got the names of her favorite writers indelibly scripted on her arm. Nabokov and Whitman. They’ll go with her to the grave.
Victoria Beckham's Stylish Ink
The sophisticated script running down her spine from the base of her neck reads, “Ani l’dodi li va’ani lo haro’eh bashoshanim.” Elegant. Romantic too. On Victoria and David Beckham’s sixth wedding anniversary they chose this line for matching tattoos. It means, “I am my beloved’s and my beloved is mine.” But wait. Recent photos have revealed that the quoted text is gradually disappearing from her back as if she is undergoing laser tattoo removal procedures.
Another tattoo on her wrist is fading as well causing some to speculate that her new career as a businesswoman calls for a more professional image.
Minka Kelly's Red Star
In the past, the red star widely symbolized communist ideology, but it’s also a popular logo for Heineken and Macy’s. Everyone loves a red star. American TV actress Minka Kelly does too.
Maybe that’s why she tucked one just inside her right ankle. Swanky, yes?
Ireland Baldwin's Best
Fashion model and actress Ireland Baldwin adores her eternal artwork. Much of it depicts Hindu and Buddhist symbology, while others illustrate what she loves; like her dad (with the word “squirrel” in French), David Bowie, and her boyfriend.
On her arm, an extraordinarily striking arrow traces the line of her humerus. Bold. Arm tattoos definitely look stunning, if they're the right design, of course.
