Megan Fox's Tattoos

Megan Fox has Old English text on her right scapula reading:

"We will all laugh at gilded butterflies."

This is a reference, not a complete quote (although pretty close), from Act V, Scene III of Shakespeare's tragedy King Lear.

Here's a look-see at the tattoo:

Here is the full quote by King Lear to his daughter, Cordelia:

No, no, no, no! Come, let's away to prison.
We two alone will sing like birds i' th' cage.
When thou dost ask me blessing, I'll kneel down
And ask of thee forgiveness. So we'll live,
And pray, and sing, and tell old tales, and laugh
At gilded butterflies, and hear poor rogues
Talk of court news; and we'll talk with them too-
Who loses and who wins; who's in, who's out-
And take upon 's the mystery of things,
As if we were God's spies; and we'll wear out,
In a wall'd prison, packs and sects of great ones
That ebb and flow by th' moon.

Megan Fox is obviously a fan of stringing words together with her own personal meaning.

Like the large Old English text on her left rib cage.

there
once was
a little
girl who
never knew
love until
a boy
broke her
HEART

Here's a look-see at the tattoo:

Megan Fox is an obvious fan of Hollywood icon Marilyn Monroe. She has a popular image of Marilyn tattooed on her inner right forearm.

Here's a look-see at the tattoo:

As of April many sources are saying that Megan Fox is likely getting the famous icon lasered off as the image has been drastically fading but this has not been confirmed or denied by Fox's "people". (Thanks to Laura for pointing out the news piece in the Daily Mail.)

On the inner aspect of her lower leg above her right ankle, Megan Fox has a crescent moon overlapping a five pointed star. It is the one visibly colored tattoo that she has.

Here's a look-see at the tattoo:

Megan Fox had a long term on again off again relationship with actor Brian Austin Green (Terminator, The Sarah Conner Chronicles) that lasted six years before she married him in the summer of 2010. She has a script tattoo of his first name between her pubic bone and right hip.

Here's a look-see at the tattoo:

On the inside of Megan's left wrist is a tribal tattoo of two waves entwined like a yin and yang symbol. This tattoo has a bit of color but looks like black ink from a distance.

Here's a look-see at the tattoo:

On the back of her neck just below the hairline Megan has a black ink tattoo of the Chinese symbol of strength in calligraphy. It's a simple tattoo with a strong meaning.

Here's what the tattoo would look like:

I'd like to thank Carly (comments) for pointing out that Megan has a newish (I say "newish" because it's hard to say for sure how long she has actually had it) script on her right ribcage.

There are no clear images of the complete tattoo but it has been pieced together that it is a quote widely attributed to German philosopher Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche (learn more about him below):

"And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music."

Since Megan has been known to change a word or two to make it relevant to her, I wouldn't be surprised if she's changed it up a bit.

There's a rumor that Megan has a tattoo of "I Love Steven Johnson" on her inner left thigh but I haven't seen it in all the pictures I've surfed through. If you find an image or can confirm this (or a possible tenth) drop me a line through the contact form above.

Another rumor is that she has a line of text on one of her buttocks (thanks to Alex for the tip) that had to be covered by make-up artists for Transformers.

The Breast Tattoo

Ever since the Armani underwear/jeans commercial came out there have been people commenting on a script tattoo over her right breast peeking out from under her bra. I was never really certain about it but now I'm pretty sure that it is just the lace from the bra. I watched the video in full screen mode numerous times and paused it. If you look at the shape of the lace on the opposite side of the triangle of the bra and what appears to be a tattoo you'll see that they are the same design. Also the Armani ad was posted to their official YouTube site (see ad below) in September 2010. When I looked at bikini shots of Megan from her Hawaii trip in December 2010, which show more breast than the ad does, it is obvious there is no tattoo there. So I'm concluding that it is lace in the Armani video and not a breast tattoo.
