It is not really surprising to learn that many celebrities love tattoos, nor is it
surprising that those who are in the public eye and in the media have quite a significant influence on the American
population's fascination with tattoos. The stars have tattoos, so all of their fans want tattoos also. For
celebrities, age is not a factor; older stars as well as the younger ones have them. We know all of these people--
but how much do we know about what unique styles of artwork they have?
One of America's most longtime popular movie stars, Robert DeNiro, has appeared in
movies sporting numerous tattoos. Whether or not his fans realize that they are only accessories for his films, the
fact is in real life Robert DeNiro has only one tattoo, that of a black panther. Another actor who shows off many
tattoos in his movies is Johnny Depp; all of his, however, are real. Bruce Willis also has a few tattoos; most
notably the symbol of his movie "Die Hard."
Tattoos have long been in style with musicians. Former teen idol Justin Timberlake
has a guardian angel, amongst others. Rapper Eminem has more tattoos than can be counted, including his daughter's
name and his own. The wording on Keith Urban's wrist, "Omni Vincit Amor" is Latin for 'Love Conquers All;' he also
has an eagle on one arm.
Some sports celebrities also go for tattoos. Michael Jordan has his fraternity symbol
tattooed above his heart, while Dennis Rodman is a virtual canvas of artwork.

Not to be outdone, many female stars also show various degrees of artwork. Young
actress Drew Barrymore is essentially a canvas full of tattoos; it is said that she created most of the designs
herself. Reese Witherspoon is more subtle, wearing only one small star tattoo which is rarely visible. Pamela
Anderson has a variety of tattoos also, the most notable being the word 'Mommy' on one finger, which reportedly
used to read 'Tommy.' Spice Girl Victoria Beckham has five stars to represent each member of her family, her
husband's initials, and the traditional Jewish phrase 'I am my beloved's, and my beloved is mine.'
Some of today's supermodels also sport tattoos. Kate Moss, Christy Turlington, and
Stephanie Seymour all have these permanent forms of fashion accessories. Most supermodels who opt for tattoos show
fewer and smaller designs than celebrities in other fields.
While many celebrities have had tattoos for a very long time, the popularity of
tattoos amongst stars has been increasing, both in the number of celebrities who have them and the number of
tattoos that they have. A very few have only one tattoo; more and more are taking on a large number of tattoos as
well as more and more visible tattoos, using skin as a canvas for nearly unlimited varieties of permanent
artwork.
As celebrities show off their tattoos, and this is picked up by the media, it
presents an ever-increasing influence for their fans, especially amongst the younger generation, to want to do
likewise. As with anything else that stars do in the public eye, their influence with tattoos helps this form of
artwork become more widespread, more popular, and more acceptable to most of the American population in
general.
