Now, no judgment here: these are not bad tattoos. What someone gets permanently added to their body is their choice, and there’s usually a huge significance behind every design. Cheryl Cole has her entire butt and lower backside covered in English roses as it they are her favorite flower. She revealed the reportedly £4,000 tattoo in 2013, according to Huffington Post, after spending the 15 hours to complete the design. “I’ve had it for seven-eight months but only just had it detailed. I can pretty much safely say I’m now done!” Indeed, after that, she joined the ever-growing club of celebs with butt tattoos.
After looking at Cheryl’s booty bouquet, it’s hard not to hear OutKast’s “Roses.” Andre 3000 has six “silly tattoos,” according to The Guardian, and he “bitterly regret(s)” each and every one. Hopefully Gucci Mane doesn’t regret the ice cream cone he got on his face in 2011. The “Tone It Down” rapper took outrageous ink to the next level, getting the tasty treat tattooed to his cheek. Of course, when talking about facial tattoos, it would be a mistake to not include Mike Tyson, whose iconic ink is known across the world.
Lil Wayne certainly had no fear when he had “Fear God” tattooed on his eyelids. Ouch. That had to hurt. Thankfully, if he hates the design, he’ll never see it. Similarly, Chris Brown will need a mirror if he ever wants to look at the woman’s face he had inked on his neck. The design caused quite a controversy, as some said this “battered woman” design was based on his ex, Rihanna. The tattoo artist, Peter Koskela, said is a sugar skull (associated with the Mexican Dia de los Muertos) and a M.A.C cosmetics design, according to E! News.
Speaking of RiRi, she’s covered in tattoos as well. One of her most striking pieces is the tattoo of an Egyptian goddess under her chest. The design is a tribute to her late grandmother, who passed away in 2012 due to cancer, according to Billboard. Love of a different sort was also behind Lena Dunham getting another butt tattoo. She got the sign for The Odeon, her favorite restaurant in Tribeca, permanently added to her backside. Fair enough. Lena’s not the only Girls star with ink in unusual places, as Zosia Mamet has the outline of a heart on the palm of her right hand. How quirky!
