Biggest and Boldest Movie Tattoos

Posted on : June 15, 2015  By : Wellness

Tattoos are everywhere these days, so it’s no surprise that they’ve made the jump over onto the silver screen. Here are some of the stand-out examples that we’ve seen… we’ll leave it up to you to decide whether these characters could benefit from laser tattoo removal, or look great just the way they are…

Leonard Shelby in Memento

After Leonard suffers some pretty serious memory loss in Memento, he turns to tattoos to keep permanent records of key facts and information – pretty nifty. Of course, it wouldn’t make much sense for him to get inked with a crucial nugget of knowledge only to go and get it removed, but at some point he’s going to want to make space for some more colourful memories.

Sirius Black in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban

When Sirius Black emerges from his lengthy Azkaban prison sentence he is sporting mysterious tattoos – do they mark gang affiliation? Whatever their meaning, they serve as proof that he made it through this dark section of his life, so should they be worn with pride and defiance or wiped off in an attempt to forget the injustice?

Carl in The Illustrated Man

In Ray Bradbury’s novel The Illustrated Man, as in the movie, Carl’s tattoos are pretty vital for the whole set up of the story, as they allow him to tell the future. The question is: does this become a blessing or a burden? It might be tempting to get a sneak peek at the next chapter of your life, but some laser tattoo removal would probably have helped Carl relax and unwind!

The Joker in Suicide Squad

Okay, so the movie isn’t actually out yet, but promotional photos showing Jared Leto as a heavily tattooed Joker has already got fans talking. An interesting twist on the character, this Joker looks as though he’s been ripped straight out of a vampire flick, and the tattoos have comic movie aficionados thoroughly divided… so should they stay or should they go?

As with all tattoos, these movie characters’ inkings are a matter of personal taste – it’s lucky that the days where tattoos equalled permanence are gone now, and people have the freedom to reclaim their skin, whether to make room for a new tattoo or to cleanse themselves of images entirely.
