It’s not uncommon for tattoo artists to want to get inside their clients’ heads before inking their body. Why? Well, it can help them understand what motivated them to choose the art – and, in the process, can assist them with doing the best possible job.
These days, people seeking tattoos are often inspired by the ink of the rich and famous. After all, some celebrities boast a diverse selection of body art and are happy to promote the prospect of others following in their footsteps. With this in mind, here are three famous faces who may have inspired your clients.
Johnny Depp
Actor Johnny Depp now has 31 tattoos across his body. While some were there at the start of his career, he amassed many on his way to becoming arguably one of the most famous men in Hollywood. When quizzed about his body art, he once told Ellen DeGeneres: "I've always felt that the body is kind of a journal in a way." Who wouldn’t be inspired by those wise words?
Demi Lovato
Singer Demi Lovato has 20 tattoos, across places such as her fingers, wrists, feet and forearm. While she’s only 25, Demi’s been happy to tell her fans that tattoos should be about living in the moment. During an interview on Live With Kelly and Michael, she once explained: "I'm young and I can rock it now and when I get older, I can worry about that later.” This ethos is surely very easy for many to get on board with.
Angeline Jolie
Oscar winner Angelina Jolie now has over 20 tattoos. Why has she opted for so many? According to the actress, it’s a great form of self-expression. In a feature in Post Modern Ink magazine, she famously elaborated: "I don't think it's abnormal that someone who spends their life in other skins wants to claim their own by marking things on it that matter to them."
