Foxy Tattoos

If there’s one celeb whose tattoos we’ve all wondered about, it’s Megan Fox. From her “Love the Way You Lie,” music video to her Armani commercial, it’s clear that this girl is sporting quite a bit of ink. Megan Fox is one celebrity who, while believing that her body is a canvas, has managed to make her many tattoos seem classy, sophisticated, and sexy rather than grungy and overdone.

Philosophy and Shakespeare

Fox has two quotations on her body that she’s taken from literary geniuses. While she’s changed the words a little bit to fit what she wanted, the quotations still retain the same meaning. On her right shoulder blade, fox has the words, “We will all laugh at gilded butterflies.” This quotation is taken from Act 5, Scene 3 of Shakespeare’s well-known tragedy, King Lear. On her right ribcage, Fox had a quotation from German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche inked in big bold letters. The quotation reads, “And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music.”

Something More Personal

On her left ribcage, Megan Fox has the words to a “poem” of sorts that she wrote herself. Judging from the tattoos already mentioned above, it’s clear that Fox is a lover of words, so it only makes sense that she included some of her own on her canvas. In large old English letters, the text reads, “There once was a little girl who never knew love until a boy broke her HEART.” While it’s not known what inspired the tattoo, suffice it to say that Fox may be more than just a pretty face.

Another personal piece of text that Fox added to her canvas is the tattoo, “Brian,” on her right hip. After a 6 year on again off again relationship with Brian Austin Green, Fox finally married him (and made his name a permanent part of her anatomy) in 2010.

Happy Birthday, Mr. President

Perhaps her most popular tattoo (probably owing to the fact that it’s the one most easily seen) is the image of Marilyn Monroe inside Fox’s right forearm. Fox was once quoted as saying that she believed she had some sort of connection with Monroe. She felt they had similarities as a sex symbol and she also stated that she often felt that she would die young like Monroe did.

She is now having this tattoo removed; saying that she feels it’s now a negative symbol. Since Marilyn Monroe suffered from personality disorders as well as bipolar depression, Fox stated that she doesn’t want to attract such negative energy into her life.

Symbols and Such

Once you’ve taken in all of the large text and the Marilyn image, Megan Fox still has quite a few tats going on. On the inside of her right leg, just above her ankle, Fox has a tattoo of a crescent moon on top of a five-pointed star. The significance of this tattoo is that it is one of the only actually colored tattoos that she has.

While Fox’s right arm is sporting Miss Monroe, her left wrist is adorned with a tribal tattoo. The image is of two waves that are in the shape of yin and yang. This tattoo has a tiny bit of color but from a distance just appears black like all of her others.
