A dozen ink enthusiasts among celebrities: Exploring the tattoo passion of notable figures like David Beckham, Ed Sheeran, Justin Bieber, Rihanna, Billie Eilish, and Angelina Jolie

Is there a famous person’s tattoo that you can visualize right away without having to research it? Take Rihanna’s goddess Isis or Justin Bieber’s cross, for instance. For several celebrities, their body art has grown to be just as much a part of who they are as their wardrobe.

Let’s examine the celebrities that are most infatuated with tattoos and learn the backstories of some of their most unique body art.
