The tattoos on Angelina Jolie’s back are all symbolic, most of which convey the love of the actress with her six 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren and Brad Pitt.

Angelina Jolie and her 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren attend the movie premiere in Los Angeles. She wore a Versace dress showing off her 𝓈ℯ𝓍y bare back. The moment Jolie turned sideways on the red carpet, she revealed all 8 large tattoos.

Let’s decipher 8 large tattoos that Angelina Jolie has rarely shown on the red carpet.

1. Tattoo coordinates where the 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren and Brad were 𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐧 on the left bicep: Previously, at this location Angelina tattooed the name of her ex-husband Billy Bob. After having 6 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren with Brad Pitt (3 biological and 3 adopted), she replaced it with a tattoo of latitude and longitude where the 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren were 𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐧.

Each of Jolie and Brad Pitt’s 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren was 𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐧 in a different place: Maddox was 𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐧 in Cambodia, Pax Thien in Vietnam, Zahara in Ethiopia, biological daughter Shiloh was 𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐧 in Nambia and twins Knox – Vivienne were 𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐧 in France. Later, Jolie added the coordinates of Brad Pitt’s 𝐛𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐡place, Oklahoma, USA.

2. Tattoo of Buddhist mantra on left shoulder in Khmer: In 2003, when she adopted Maddox in Cambodia, Angelina tattooed a mantra to pray for luck for her adopted son.

3. Tattoo 3 words “Know Your Rights” on the nape of the neck: This is the name of the song by the band The Clash that Jolie loves very much. The tattoo was done in 2004, a way for the actress to celebrate empowerment.

4. Temple tattoos represent compassion and charity.

5. A Buddhist mantra for good luck and prosperity.

6. Large “magic” tattoo on the middle of the back: These are ancient hieroglyphs representing the 4 continents and the basic elements that create life on earth including earth, water, fire and air. The tattoo is meant to protect the owner, but for Angelina, it also carries a symbol of connection with Brad Pitt.

In 2016, Angelina and Brad flew to Thailand to meet tattoo artist Ajarn Noo Kanpai while the actress was filming First They Killed My Father in Cambodia. Jolie chose the very painful Sak yant neck tattoo method with a tool to engrave text on the skin, a steel rod with a needle attached. According to the Thai concept, this form of tattoo along with ancient sacred inscriptions can arouse supernatural powers, and is also an amulet to protect the owner from disasters and bring good luck.

According to the artist’s disclosure, the tattoo on Angelina’s back also means “binding a partner”. Because Brad Pitt used his wife’s tattoo ink to carve a Buddhist symbol on his left side – a way of showing the bond between the couple.

However, life was twisted, a few months after the couple got tattooed in Thailand, they broke out into a big argument and Angelina filed for divorce in September 2016.

7. Big tiger on the waist: In 2004, Angelina got a tattoo of a Bengal tiger over 30 cm long and 20 cm wide thanks to the hand of another artist in Thailand. The tiger tattoo represents Jolie’s Cambodian citizenship. She applied for more nationality after filming the movie Secret of the Ancient Tomb here.

8. Arabic characters on right arm: In a moment on the red carpet earlier this week, Angelina also revealed an Arabic tattoo on her right arm that means “determination”. The Wanted actress wanted to remind herself of the power of will.

In addition to the above 8 tattoos, Angelina Jolie also has small drawings or characters on her waist, hips, belly and wrists. Hollywood stars have all 17 tattoos on their body.
