Samara Weaving’s tattoos are small and spread across her arms, wrists, fingers and ankle. A 2017 W profile described a black cat on her wrist, a small moon on one finger and an elephant on the inside of her wrist. Weaving joked, “My body is a jungle!” Later photos show a BUSINESS doodle on her upper arm, a dark animal shape on her forearm and a little potted plant. The available images don’t explain every design.
The BUSINESS tattoo on Samara Weaving’s upper arm
A photo shows the word “BUSINESS” above a small black line drawing on the back of Weaving’s upper arm. The compact lettering and doodle read as one playful design, though the image doesn’t explain what the word or figure means to her.
The upper-arm placement leaves room for both parts and can be covered by a sleeve. If you like text paired with an image, keeping each element clear at its actual tattoo size matters more than adding extra detail.
The black animal silhouette on her forearm
A close-up shows a compact black animal shape on Weaving’s forearm, with four legs, a tail and a low, prowling stance. The photo doesn’t establish whether it is the cat mentioned by W Magazine or a separate tattoo, so it’s safest to describe what’s visible.
The solid silhouette has little interior detail; its posture gives the animal its direction. That is enough to distinguish it from the smaller cat shown in other photos.
The cat wrist tattoo
In this casual photo, Weaving rests her face in her hands, and a small black cat is visible on the inside of her wrist. W Magazine also identified a black cat tattoo there, making this a strong match between a reported design and a photograph.
Neither source gives its date or personal meaning. The design is small but clear enough to read without a caption, and the wrist position makes it visible when her hand turns upward.
The moon, elephant, and tiny collection around them
The W Magazine profile also mentioned a dainty moon on one finger and an elephant on the inside of a wrist. Finger skin gets frequent movement and wear, so tiny lines may soften. An elephant needs enough space between its trunk, body and ears to remain legible at a small size.
These reported designs add to the cat and the later photographs, but the profile doesn’t give a full list or a meaning for each one. The tattoo ideas are recognizable; the reasons behind them aren’t all public.
The small plant tattoo visible in a Vogue portrait
A Vogue portrait shows a small potted plant on Weaving’s upper arm. The drawing has a pot, stem and leaves, with more open linework than the solid animal silhouette. The photograph makes the placement visible, though it doesn’t add a story for the plant.
Another candid view of the cat tattoo
A second candid image shows the same cat low on Weaving’s forearm, near the wrist, as she sits in a convertible. It gives a wider sense of the tattoo’s scale and placement; it isn’t a separate design.
Why the collection feels easy
Weaving’s tattoos include lettering and a doodle, a cat, a moon, an elephant, an animal silhouette and a potted plant. The designs don’t form one theme, but their small scale and simple shapes let them sit together. The “jungle” joke from the W profile fits that loose mix better than a complete catalogue would.
There are limits to what the photos confirm. The cat and the plant are identifiable, while the forearm silhouette can’t be matched with certainty to the cat in the profile. The sources don’t supply meanings for most of the marks.
