Angelina Jolie not only has a love of kids (she has six!) but also a love of tattoos. Jolie is estimated to have at least 12 tattoos.
The tattoo on her left shoulder blade that looks like four vertical lines is actually a Buddhist Pali incantation and is written in Khmer, which is the language of Cambodia. It was reportedly done to help protect her and her adopted son, Maddox, from bad luck. It reads:
May your enemies run far away from you.
If you acquire riches, may they remain yours always.
Your beauty will be that of Apsara.
Wherever you may go, many will attend, serve and protect you, surrounding you on all sides.
On the back of her neck, she has the words “Know Your Rights” tattooed in a gothic letter print.
On her left arm, she used to have the name of her ex-husband, Billy Bob Thornton; however, she now has the geographical coordinates of the birthplaces of her six children, as well as a seventh line for the coordinates of Brad Pitt’s birthplace in Oklahoma.
On her left arm she also has a quote from Tennessee Williams: “A prayer for the wild at heart, kept in cages,” as well as Roman numerals.
On her lower back, she has a large (12-inch-long and 8-inch-wide) Bengal tiger tattoo.
In addition, she aso has a cross tattoo on her left lower hip, along with the words, “Quod me nutrit me destruit,” which means “What nourishes me, destroys me.”
