Celebrity tattoos hold a certain attraction for many of us. They can hold special meanings, represent certain people or even beliefs.

For example, singer and actress Demi Lovato’s “Stay Strong” tattoos are located on both of her wrists. They are her way of staying strong through her struggle with eating disorders and depression. In a MTV documentary titled Demi Lovato: Stay Strong, Lovato admitted to going through a dark stage in her life where she would starve herself and even went as far as to cutting herself.

Eventually, Lovato entered rehab and came out feeling better than ever, even with a new tattoo.  Her left wrist says “stay” and her right wrist says “strong.” Lovato says the tattoos were inspired by her fans and their overwhelming support through her tough times.

From hardships to hardcore, some celebrities even get a face of a person they admire on their skin. Whether it be a family member or a role model, these tattoos have become quite the trend. Limp Bizkit lead singer Fred Durst has tattoos of Nirvana front man Kurt Cobain and the king of rock himself, Elvis Presley tattooed on his on his chest. He says that they are the two rock legends he has admired most.

Tattoos can come in all kinds of languages too. Actress Lindsay Lohan has a tattoo that reads “La Bella Vita,” meaning “The Beautiful Life” in Italian tattooed on her lower back.

Some celebrity tattoos even play a mystery role to some fans, like Penelope Cruz’s. Cruz sports a tattoo reading 883 on her ankle, a message that no one seems to understand. Some believe it could possibly be a lucky number of some sort. These permanent markings really do grasp fans’ attention, making a bigger statement than any fashion piece ever could.
