Eva Longoria.jpg
Eva Longoria - Actress Eva Longoria had several tattoos that she got in honor of her then-husband, NBA star Tony Parker, removed after the pair split in 2011. She had his jersey number, nine, penned across the back of her neck and even though she often covered it with her hair had it lasered off in 2012. She’s since decided to forego the tattooed look altogether at the suggestion of boyfriend Jose Antonio Baston.
Lady Gaga.jpg
Lady Gaga - Lady Gaga got her monster claw tattoo in 2014 as a tribute to her fans, the “Little Monsters”. She posted a picture of the new ink to Instagram with the tag #monster4life which would indicate that she plans to keep the disjointed, long-nailed hand on her ribcage in perpetuity, but so far it’s lasted only one year.
Hayden Panettiere.jpg
Hayden Panettiere - Actress Hayden Panettiere’s back tattoo is a reminder to always proofread, proofread, proofread. Panettiere wanted to get the phrase “live without regrets” written on her back in Italian but the last word was misspelled. She got the tattoo done in 2009 but had it removed in 2013 when, ironically, she came to regret the decision.
Rihanna.jpg
Rihanna - Singer Rihanna got her Maori tribal hand tattoo the traditional way: in New Zealand with a chisel and mallet. Rihanna has plenty of tattoos done with a needle the regular way, but still made it through the painful process done in 2013 that left her knuckles bloody and swollen. She got the traditional Ta Moko tattoo in West Auckland while on tour and posted a video to YouTube to show her braving through the process.
Megan Fox.jpg
Megan Fox - Actress Megan Fox has made headlines by removing a tattoo of Marilyn Monroe from the inside of her lower arm because, after learning the actress suffered from bipolar disorder, she decided it brought “negative energy.” But Shakespeare’s King Lear, the character with the lines Fox has penned across her right shoulder blade “we will all laugh at gilded butterflies,” had some problems of his own. Still, Fox has been happy with the tattoo she has said she got to remind herself not to take Hollywood too seriously.
