Celebrity Ink - Russel Brand

Right inner bicep - sanskrit which reads "Anuugacchati Pravaha" - "Go With The Flow"

A lot of people think that Russell has a great number of tattoos due to his various movie roles, particularly Forgetting Sarah Marshall. All of these tattoos were fakes and were applied for the role. He and his wife, Katy Perry have matching sanskrit tattoos in the same place.

"Ropell" mother's maiden name on right forearm

"It’s like in the army, they put on your dog tag – what religion you are – just so they know where to bury you. I tattooed this leaf, which they traced right out of my passport, onto my heart so they would know where the boy came from.


"I've actually got a couple. That's my mother's maiden name. She's six of eight kids, most of them are girls, so my granddad's name probably won't live on past this generation. It was my tribute to that side of the family. My mother hates it every time I get one. She'll never be psyched about them, but at least she can't take issue with them. I got the maple leaf, her family name, and then I got, representing her Irish side of the family, I got the Celtic cross."

Quotes from Megan Fox about her tattoos:

"Everyone hates them because they are so closed-minded about tattoos"

"Every time I get a tattoo, it's a little fuck-you to anyone who tells me not to. I like the way getting a tattoo feels. It's weird to be a part of Hollywood, which tries to control every aspect of people, from what they say to the color of their hair. If I'm depressed, it's nice to get one and deal with the pain. I have one all the way down my ribs, it hurt but it felt good like twisting a loose tooth. I'm not kidding when I say that if I ever lose a role because of my tattoos, I'll quit Hollywood and go to work at Costco."
