Angelina Jolie is infamous for her mysterious tattoos. Her most mysterious is one that says “May your enemies run far away from you. If you acquire riches, may they remain yours always. Your beauty will be that of Apsara. Wherever you may go, many will attend, serve and protect you, surrounding you on all sides.” The tattoo is written in Khmer script and is a Buddhist chant dedicated to herself and son Maddox whom she adopted in Cambodia. Angelina became a citizen of Cambodia in 2004. To celebrate her citizenship, she received another tattoo in Thailand of a bangle tiger. This tattoo is on her lower back covering three previous smaller designs. All tolled, Jolie has 13 current tattoos, not including the ones covered up or laser removed.
Arms, back and hip are the favorite place for Jolie to get inked. In the center of her upper back she has the phrase “know your rights”. The Buddhist chant referred to above is located to the left on this over her left shoulder blade. Going down her left arm is a list of coordinates. These coordinates represent the exact location where her children came into her life. Angelina and Brad now have six children. Also on her left arm are the Roman Numerals XIII V MCMXL. The XII (13) represented her non superstitiousness. After adding the rest of the numbers to read 13 May 1940 represents the date of Winston Churchill’s famous speech. In this speech he proclaims his offering of blood and tears. “A prayer for the wild at heart kept in cages” is also printed on her left arm. A Wicca styled letter h is tattooed on the inside of her left wrist. There is some controversy as to whom this tattoo was meant to commemorate. Angelina’s right arm is a little sparser than her left, but inked nonetheless. An Arabic tattoo translated “Determination” in just below the inside of her elbow. She has a thick black cross on her left hip and the saying “what nourishes me destroys me” in Latin next to it.
There are over seven tattoos that have been covered up or laser removed. A few were common mistakes such as an ex’s name, and other were phases of her life that she has outgrown. Even with so many tattoos removed and changed, she is still a fan and will no doubt continue to receive more.

The present breed of tattoo artists is professional, skilled and really skilled. Nevertheless, not all skilled tattoo artists are good. They still need to fulfill many requirements earlier than you select one.
