Angelina Tattoos

So when it comes down to the eternal rivalry of are you with Angelina or Jen I was always with Jen. I still am...but recently I learned a bit about Angelina's tats. It's pretty freakin rad...check these out:


It is a Buddhist Pali incantation written in Khmer script, the language of Cambodia. It is there to protect her and her adopted Cambodian son Maddox from bad luck.

Here's the translation:

May your enemies run far away from you.
If you acquire riches, may they remain yours always.
Your beauty will be that of Apsara.
Wherever you may go, many will attend, serve and protect you, surrounding you on all sides.


This tattoo on her left underarm is the Roman number 13. She had it done because she doesn't believe in superstitions.


This tattoo on Jolie's left arm are the words of Tennessee Williams:

"A prayer for the wild at heart, kept in cages."
My absolute fave.


This cross tattoo covers the little dragon with the blue tongue she had done in Amsterdam. Next to it is a phrase in Latin:

"Quod me nutrit me destruit", meaning "What nourishes me, destroys me."


These numbers are the geographical coordinates (longitudes and latitudes) from the locations where her children first entered her life.

1. N11° 33' 00" E104° 51' 00" : the place in Cambodia where Angelina Jolie's eldest son Maddox was born.
2. N09° 02' 00" E038° 45' 00" : the place in Ethiopia were her daughter Zahara was born.
3. S22° 40' 26" E014° 31' 40" : the place in Namibia (Swakopmund) where Angelina gave birth to her biological daughter with Brad Pitt, Shiloh (Hebrew for "the peaceful one"), was born.
4. N10° 46' 00" E106° 41' 40" : the place in Vietnam where Angelina's son Pax Thien was born.


And that's not even close to all of them. I can respect it.

Thanks for the rundown free tattoo designs.
