It is not really amazing to learn that many celebrities love
tattoos, nor is it surprising that those who are in the public eye and in the
media have quite a considerable influence on the general people’s fascination
with tattoos. The stars have tattoos, so all of their fans want tattoos too.
For celebrities, age is not a factor; older as well as the younger ones have
them. We know all of these people-- but do we also know about what unique
styles of artwork they have?
One of America's
most popular movie stars, Robert DeNiro, has made an appearance in movies,
sporting numerous tattoos. Whether or not his fans realize that they are only
accessories, and he uses Temporary Tattoos for his films. The fact is in real
life Robert DeNiro has only one Real Tattoo, that of a black panther. Another
actor who shows off many tattoos in his movies is Johnny Depp; all of his,
however, are real. Bruce Willis also has a few tattoos; most notably the symbol
of his movie "Die Hard."
Some sports celebrities also vouch for tattoos. Michael Jordan has his
fraternity symbol tattooed above his chest, while Dennis Rodman is a virtual
canvas of artwork.
Not to be defeated, many female stars also show off various degrees of artwork.
Young actress Drew Barrymore is essentially a canvas full of tattoos; it is
believed that she designed them herself. Reese Witherspoon is more understated,
wearing only one small star tattoo which is rarely visible. Pamela Anderson too
has a variety of tattoos, the most notable being the word 'Mommy' on one
finger, which reportedly used to read 'Tommy.' Spice Girl Victoria Beckham has
five stars to represent each member of her family, her husband's initials, and
the time-honored Jewish phrase 'I am my beloved's, and my beloved is mine.'
Some of today's supermodels who also sport tattoos are Kate Moss, Christy
Turlington, and Stephanie Seymour. All of them use Tattoos as a temporary form
of fashion accessories. Most supermodels who opt for promotional tattoos show
fewer and smaller designs than celebrities in other fields.
While many celebrities have had tattoos for a very long time, the popularity of
tattoos amongst stars has been ever-increasing, both in the number of
celebrities who opt for them and the number of tattoos that they have. A very
few have only permanent tattoo; more and more are taking on a large number of different
temporary tattoos like water transfer, Glitter, Crystal Tattoos. Out of these,
crystal tattoos are the most popular amongst women, as it adds a dash of
glamour to their personality.
As celebrities show off their tattoos, and this is picked up by the media, it
presents a growing influence for their fans, especially amongst the younger
generation, who want to ape them. As with anything else that stars do in the
public eye, their influence with tattoos helps this form of artwork become more
prevalent, more popular, and more acceptable to most of the people.
