Part of the personality of the actress is reflected in the ink that she wears on her skin and that she proudly displays.
Most celebrities wear designs on their skin that they proudly
display, and Angelina Jolie is no exception. The actress's taste for tattoos
is not new, in fact it began in adolescence and today she is one of the
famous actresses with the largest amount of ink on her skin - more than 20
-, with a great load of symbology and personal style. Here we tell you the
meaning of each creation.
In February 2017, her celebrity caused a furor with the beauty campaign for Guerlain, in which she exposed all her tattoos and showed that they are very important to her. Since that time, Angelina's skin impressions have been the center of attention for media and followers.
On his right forearm, he has the word 'determination' written in Arabic and on the left one –near the wrist– he wears a rune, with the letter H in homage to his brother, and closer to the elbow are the Roman numerals XIII V MCMX , which have different meanings: 13 indicates that the actress is not superstitious and the numbers that complete it allude to May 13, 1950, the date on which the then prime minister of England, Winston Churchill, pronounced his famous phrase: " I have nothing more to offer than blood, toil, tears and sweat."
The tattoo on her left arm is precisely one of the most important because it represents the coordinates of the birthplaces of her six children and many claim that the seventh coordinate belongs to the place where her ex-husband, Brad Pitt, was born.
Strong defense of Human Rights
The Oscar winner remains firm in her commitment to the defense of human rights and to reinforce this mission she got a tattoo -under her neck- with the phrase Know your rights, which is also the title of a song by her favorite band. TheClash.
Under her left shoulder she wears a 'Pali Buddhist charm' which in
her own words keeps her protected, invoking good luck and health. There are
five lines of ancient Khmer script – the official language of the Kingdom of
Cambodia – made by the famous tattoo master and former Buddhist monk, Ajarn
Noo, using an ancient technique that uses steel bars with surgical
needles.
The image of a Buddhist temple appears in the center of her back and
represents a reminder that one must be compassionate with oneself and with
others. On the right side of the temple, it has ancient Buddhist mantras
engraved and below it some grids that evoke the four continents and the four
elements of the Earth.
Below the grids is the actress's largest tattoo – taking up nearly
her entire lower back – done in 2004 to celebrate her Cambodian citizenship.
It is a Bengal tiger whose preparation she needed about two hours. In short,
the skin of this celebrity is full of symbols, personal history and
contemporary history, femininity and authenticity.
