In a quest to accentuate their public image, a fair share of famous people has opted to get either unique or beautiful tattoos from trusted artists. And thanks to blogs, SnapChat, and the almighty gram, we get to enjoy the latest scoop on celebrity tattoos and their designs.

Some of us have even gone to the extent of steal these thoughtful tattoo ideas, making them ours. And guess what? We aren’t apologetic about it either! Here are 50 male and female celebrity tattoos for your visual entertainment:

Justin Bieber is without a doubt one of the most popular pop stars of the recent times. He also has a number of hot tattoos to complete his look and among them is the very popular eagle wing tattoo that happens to cover his entire arm.

Apart from being unique and perfectly finished, the famous pop star insists that this tattoo, as well as the other tattoos on his body, have a personal meaning. Either way, all that matters is that millions of his female fans dig it and that is good for business as far as Justin is concerned.

Despite not being your typical ‘tattoo junkie’ celebrity, Whitney Port was recently spotted on the gram rocking one of those tiny, initial-designs finger tattoos. The initial tattoo is on her left-hand pinky. In usual fashion, most of her fans think Whitney got the tattoo after her recent engagement.

But Whitney Port, for reasons best known to her, has chosen to remain tight-lipped about her ink. It goes without saying that finger tattoos have been extremely popular especially in the recent times and that might have influenced her choice.

Kendall Jenner is probably the most recognizable female celebrities in her early twenties. This is mostly because she is a member of the extremely popular Kardashian family. Kendall’s incredibly beautiful piece is tattooed over her shoulder, part of her back before extending over to her right arm. The wing tattoo designs are not only popular among female celebrities but also male celebrities. 

With a highly decorated career that spans over three decades, it’s safe to say that Johnny Depp is a celebrity you’d never fail to recognize. Besides having a keen interest in acting and music, Mr. Depp also has a thing for needles and ink. Johnny Depp has 30 tattoos in total – a number that is most certainly expect to increase in the near future.

The funny actor has distinctive tattoos on his arms, legs and other places we can’t mention on any public forum without running the risk of being sued– just kidding. Mr. Depp is just one of the countless male celebrity with a penchant for tattoos.

Rita Ora is without a doubt a young, beautiful and talented female pop star. That explains why no one saw her getting a tattoo until she got one. The gossip grind mill reported that the famous pop star got the beautiful ballerina tattoo on her left arm shortly after splitting with her longtime boo Calvin Harris.

Kelly Osbourne, daughter to the legendary rock star Ozzy Osbourne, has and will never shy away from being herself. Throughout her life, she’s never had a problem going overboard when it comes to her hair coifs, outfits as well as choices for tattoo designs.

The famous fashion police co-host recently got one of those easy-to-spot head tattoos on the side of her shaved head. The tattoo reads ‘stories’. And if her past is anything to go by, then we can all assume that there is an extremely interesting story behind the head tattoo.

And while we are still on male celebrities, as well as female celebrities, who aren’t afraid of showing their true selves, the list wouldn’t be quite complete without Lady Gaga. Lady Gaga has the ability to use just about anything to express her deep passion for her craft. The beautiful pop star recently got a trumpet tattoo on her inner arm. The tattoo was apparently designed by Tony Bennett, the jazz sensation himself.

What makes this gorgeous celebrity’s tattoo collection breathtaking is that they come in different colors. She has a ‘breath deep’ tattoo on her bicep that’s written in white ink. She also has another one her wrist but this one happens to be written in black ink. And being the outspoken female celebrity that she is, Cara then decided to get a “BACON’ tattoo on her foot simply because she loves bacon.

Don’t look at me. I’m just as surprised as you are.

Dan’s new tattoo is probably the sweetest tattoo we have on this list simply because of how creative it is in paying tribute to Kristen Bell, his pregnant wife. This rather sweet tattoo in the form of a bell is on his ring finger. And as we all know, the most important female in his world has Bell as her maiden name.
 

Smooth, huh?

Drake, who is famously known as the 6-god, recently added a new tattoo to his ever-growing collection. He recently paid Doctor Woo a courtesy call which ended with the megastar getting one of those cool prayer emoji designs tatted on his arm right next to a six. Drake also has tattoos on other parts of his body. And from the look of things, the numbers will keep growing because as the ink community puts it, ‘Once you go tatt, you never go back’.

The best tattoos are the ones that bear deep meaning to those who wear them. Zelda Williams hummingbird tattoo happens to be one of those tattoos with a deep, sentimental attachment. She got them in honor of her late dad, the legendary Robin Williams. Zelda Williams is just one of the many female celebrities who’ve had the super talented Doctor Woo work on their impressively done tattoos.

If her ink masterpiece is anything to go by, then we can comfortably assume that Paloma Faith has a thing for birds. This exotic beauty had birds in flight tattooed on her back and never shies away from an opportunity to flaunt them especially in her breathtaking open back outfits. Bird tattoo designs are also popular among male celebrities.

Before I get to his tattoos, we’ll have to unanimously agree that Kanye West is the most vocal male celebrity of our time – period. Apart from his epic rants via Twitter, Instagram, and interviews, Kanye has seemingly found new ways of expressing himself through his over-the-top fashion designs and, yeah, you guessed right – tattoos. Kanye’s tattoos pay tribute to his late mom as well as show adoration for his wife and children.

Demi is just one of the thousands of female celebrities who’ve had their older tattoos conveniently covered up. She opted for the cute rose tattoo over the kiss tattoo which, in my opinion, was beautifully done. If you look closely, you’ll realize that it blends too well with her undertone. Demi took to the gram to express her obvious satisfaction with her new masterpiece.

Unlike most celebrities, the immensely famous Sam Smith knows that he wouldn’t be where he is if it weren’t for his legion of loyal fans from all over the world. It is for this reason that Sam has always reiterated that his fans are his anchor – hence the anchor tattoo on his arm. And needless to say, his adorable anchor tattoo makes it to the list of few celebrity tattoo designs that left fans feeling appreciated. 

When her Alaskan dog pet passed away, Miley Cyrus was still on tour and that left her devastated. She then decided to pay tribute to her pet by permanently adding him to her collection of adorable tattoos. Miley, just like Zelda, is one of the many males and female celebrities who’ve used their tattoos as a way to pay tribute to their loved ones, pet or human.

David Beckham is the most attractive male celebrities in the world! That out of the way, it is important to note that he also has a penchant for tattoos. The football legend recently had a ‘99 inked on his pinky, stating that ‘99 was indeed a good year for him.

Matching tattoos have been a thing for both male and female celebrities and their loved ones for quite some time now. The same bug has seemingly bitten the famous cousins, Hailey Baldwin and Ireland Baldwin. The famous cousins, who also happen to be very fond of each other, got their surnames ‘Baldwin” inked into their middle fingers – in a cute, respectful way of course.

Granted that she is a member of the mega-famous Kardashian- Jenner family, always expect any news about Kylie Jenner to go viral, however trivial it may be.  And that’s exactly what happened when she revealed her red, hip tattoo whose designs automatically went viral.

The hot celebrity picked the cute moth tattoo as the perfect cover up for her wedding date tattoo. This was after her split from her then-husband Ryan Sweeting back in 2015.

Zayn Malik is one of those chosen few male celebrities that female fans just can’t get enough of.

What makes this tattoo jaw-dropping is whenever UV light is shone over it, the lightsaber blade lights blue.

We live in a world where many famous celebrities would want to overboard with their tattoo designs so as to grasp the much-needed attention.

Instead of going overboard, the celebrity chose a little heart tattoo on her middle finger, again, not in a disrespectful way.

Despite being temporary, Sophie Turner’s wolf and flower tattoos are simply way too beautiful not make this list. Besides being the most beautiful budding female celebrities in Tinsel Town – arguably – Sansa looks hella good wearing tattoos as floral designs have a magical way of accentuating her natural beauty.

Rihanna is one celebrity who is so comfortable and confident in her own skin that she has absolutely no problem sharing her most private tattoos with her fans. And just like some notable male celebrities, Rihanna has tattoos on her arms, legs, neck, and belly and the never-ending list goes on and on (you get the drift). Thankfully, the celebrity tattoo artist who does her artwork is definitely a pro as all of Riri’s tattoos look fabulous.

When Lottie took to SnapChat to flaunt her new under-boob tattoo, she immediately attracted both male and female eyeballs in equal measure.

Brooklyn is among the few male celebrities who got the title purely by default. This simply means he became a celebrity by the virtue of being lucky enough to be born to celebrity parents.

Looking at the ink on the gram, one could easily conclude that Vicky was elated.

if you’ve been a staunch follower of Ruby, then you already know that she loves dipping her body in ink. Thankfully, her tattoos are as beautiful as they are riddled with deep, personal meaning.
