Christina Ricci is an accomplished American actress, Emmy Award-nominated, who first became known for playing as a child Wednesday Addams in 1991′s The Addams Family movie and 1993′s Addams Family Values. She’s played in dramas such as 1997′s The Ice Storm and 2004′s Monster, as well as independent comedies, such as 1998′s The Opposite of Sex. She not only has a Golden Globe nomination for that film, but also for 1999′s Sleepy Hollow. This is an actress who has been one of the few people to successfully transform herself from child star to adult actress, who runs her own production company, Blaspheme Films, which has made Prozac Nation and Pumpkin, and in the last few years has also appeared in films as diverse as 2007′s Black Snake Moan, 2008′s Penelope, and the Wachowski Brother’s 2008′s Speed Racer. But what people really what to know is this: What kind of tattoos does Christina Ricci have?
Often actors and actresses steer clear of tattoos because of the problems they can cause when trying to assume the roles of different characters. However, if the actor is strong enough or has enough fame, then the potentially troublesome tattoo may be covered up with make-up or CGI or adapted as part of the choice of the character, as was the case with Matthew Fox in ABC’s mind-bending television series, Lost.
Christina Ricci, however, while loving tattoos, must still be careful about where to place them on her body. Most of her tattoos currently are ones that may be easily covered by clothes. She hopes to get even more tattoos than the ones she already has, including one on her arm, if she reaches that level of fame.
For now, Chrstina has a lion tattoo mean to represent Aslan, who was the lion in The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe. On her back, she also has sweet peas arranged in a bouquet and tattooed by Thomas Lockhart, a tattoo artist in Vancouver, Canada, known for applying his work to celebrities.
She also has a tattoo of a Fairy, located on the inside of her right wrist, as well as praying hands, located on her left hip. The praying hands, though, used to be a bat. Tattooed on her right side are the words “Move or Bleed,” and on her right thigh she has the name “Jack” tattooed, memorializing a deceased pet. Her remaining tattoos are of a blue sparrow, on her right breast, and a mermaid, on her left ankle.
This shouldn’t be taken as a definitive list, of course, because by the time you finish reading this article, she may have a few more.
