FROM designs dedicated to their favourite sauce, portraits of themselves and inkwork so large it made them physically ill… Celebrities are no strangers to expressing themselves through their unique tattoos.
A-listers may have access to the world’s best tattoo artists, but that has not saved them from mistranslations, misspellings and some spectacularly questionable decisions.
Ariana Grande accidentally celebrated a Japanese barbecue, Orlando Bloom misspelt his son’s name in Morse code, and Johnny Depp had to turn a romantic tribute to his then-wife Winona into “Wino Forever”.
So they have spent thousands getting inked, but can you recognise these celebrity tattoos?
