Celebrity Tattoo Design is an independent reference site about tattoos seen on public figures. The site brings together photographs and reporting to help readers identify designs, find where they appear, and understand the stories behind them.
How we describe tattoos
A photograph can show the design and placement of a tattoo. Its meaning often needs a different kind of evidence. We look for interviews with the person, comments from the tattoo artist, and dated photographs or reporting. When the evidence is limited, we aim to say which details are visible and which are still uncertain.
Tattoos can change over time. Where the evidence supports it, we identify cover-ups and distinguish permanent tattoos from temporary designs worn for films, performances, or photo shoots.
Corrections and photo credits
If we have misidentified a person or tattoo, misstated a detail, or missed a photo credit, please tell us. Include the article link and, if available, a source we can check. We review corrections against the available evidence and update the article when warranted.
