Haven't you ever wondered how many tattoos does Angelina Jolie have? Or what is the significance or meaning of each one? And did you know that many of her existing tattoos cover up previous ones.
Angelina has said many times that all the tattoos she possesses have a special meaning.
Here is a list of these tattoos:
- the letter H (for her brother James Haven) on the inside of her left wrist.
- “A prayer for the wild at heart, kept in cages” (Tennessee Williams) on her left forearm.
- a large prayer for her son Maddox on her left shoulder which covers up a previous Chinese/Japanese “death” tattoo.
- two pointy black tribals on the lower parts of her back.
- Quod me nutrit me destruit (Latin for “What nourishes me also destroys me”) several inches below her bellybutton.

- a tilted Latin cross on the lower left of her abdomen, which covers up a previous dragon tatoo.
- a large Asian tiger on her back.
- a dragon under the tiger.
- XIII (number 13 in Roman numerals) on her left forearm.
- Arabic for “strength of will.” (العزيمة) on her right forearm, which also covers up a previous tattoo.
- “know your rights” just under her neck between her shoulders.

One of the older tattoos that she has already covered is a window, she explains that she covered this tattoo, because, while she used to spend all of her time staring through windows wishing to be outside, she now lives there all of the time.

Make-up artists spend lots of time covering up the tattoos in movies where Angelina appears nude, or shows some parts of her body, such as the Tomb Raider movies, Alexander, and Mr. & Mrs. Smith.
