Celebrity Skin Art


Now that everybody and his mother has tattoos, it will no longer be necessary for police to use dental records to identify dead bodies found without identification. Or so they say.

With all the things that Britney Spearssays,does, sings about, wears, shaves, doesn’t shave, films herself having sex with, and allegedly plans to do in an HBO sitcom, its easy to forget that she has tattoos like everybody else.

Or at least it would be if it weren’t for blogs like Cityrag, who put together this great collection of pictures of all of Britney’s tats in one convenient post.

Lest we forget, Britney first tattoo, dating to 2000, was little yellow, pink, and green fairy that might be Tinkerbell in the so-called “tramp stamp” position.

On February 16, 2007, Britney shaved her head and got a red kiss on the inside of her right wrist and a black, white and pink cross that might be a four-pointed version of the Glaive that Prince Colwyn uses to kill The Beast in the 1983 fantasy epic Krull on the upper right of her pelvis just above the waistline of her low-rise jeans.

In roughly he same position on the other side of her hip is a flower that is covering up a Chinese character that she had tattooed earlier.

On the top of her right foot is a flowering vine accompanied by a butterfly and a blue smudge on her index toe that she got at the infamous St. Mark’s Place in New York City.

When they were married, she and Kevin Federline got matching tattoos on their arms of a pair of red tumbling dice showing a four and a three, a roll known as a “Natural” or a “Seven Out” in craps.

Also in February 2007, Britney got a star on the back of her right hand on the pressure point between her thumb and trigger finger, but she later had it removed.

Britney’s friendship with Madonna led her to embrace the teachings of Kabbalah, and to consequently have the Hebrew letters Mem, Hey, and Shin permanently inscribed on the back of her neck, where they would be clearly visible to the same man (or woman) in the enviable position of being able to admire her fairy tattoo.

What's next? Maybe an Asia Argento-style guardian angel? Let's hope so.
