Angelina Jolie is a world-famous actress, filmmaker and humanitarian. In addition, she also has a passion for tattoo art. Since she was a young girl, Angelina Jolie has had more than 15 large and small tattoos on her body.
Recently, when Angelina Jolie walked on the streets of New York (USA), paparazzi discovered that the star had bought a new tattoo on her right arm. It is known that it is an Italian inscription “eppur si muove” which means “And it still moves”. This is a famous quote by mathematician, physicist and philosopher Galileo Galilei in 1633.

“eppur si muove” also has the meaning of affirming belief in righteousness and truth will win in the end. With this tattoo, fans think she wants to mention the child custody lawsuit between her and ex-husband Brad Pitt.
Let’s review the series of tattoos that cover almost all of the actress’s body. Each tattoo has a different spiritual meaning.
Angelina’s first tattoo is the word “death” – Japanese Kanji, meaning “death”. However, according to Jolie, this tattoo has the meaning of reminding her of life.
After that, Angelina decided to get a tattoo of Khmer script instead of the word “death” to pray for luck for her adopted son named Maddox.
The tattoo “know your rights”, roughly translated as “know your rights”, represents Jolie’s concept of life that values human rights.
Angelina got a tattoo of a very large Bengal tiger, 12 inches long (more than 30 cm) and 8 inches wide (more than 20 cm) on her lower back in 2004 thanks to the hands of artist Sompong Kanphai. This is a special way to celebrate her Cambodian citizenship.
Angelina’s lower back has two small tribal tattoos surrounding a dragon tattoo. They were later combined with the Bengal tiger tattoo.
Angelina got a rather bizarre tattoo of a blue-tongued dragon on her side during a trip to Amsterdam in 1996. Little did she know at the time that she would soon regret it. Later, she decided to cover it with an X tattoo.
To cover up the blue tongue dragon tattoo, Angelina tattooed it with a black X with Latin text next to it. The meaning of that Latin line is “What nourishes me destroys me”.
The famous Hollywood actress has 3 new tattoos on her back, including a letter board simulating geometry, animal shapes and pagodas. According to local people, they are two ancient Thai Buddhist symbols and a mantra to help protect the owner.
Tattoo artists use the ancient method of using a steel rod fitted with a small needle to tattoo directly. It causes more pain on the skin than using a tattoo gun and requires very high precision.
While Jolie has 3 new tattoos on her back, Pitt also has a Buddhist symbol tattooed on his left side. The couple’s tattoos were meant to symbolize the bond between husband and wife, but in the end they still went their separate ways.
On the left hand of the female artist is the number La Ma XIII V MCMXL (May 13, 1940) tattooed in 2009.
This is another tattoo to cover up the abstract tattoo Angelina had while living with her ex-husband Billy Bob. This Arabic text means “Determination”, tattooed on the right hand, which according to Jolie refers to “strength of will”.
Previously, Angelina had the word “Billy Bob” and a black dragon tattooed on her left arm to honor her ex-husband – Billy Bob Thornton. After breaking up, this tattoo was removed and covered with another tattoo.
After removing the Billy Bob tattoo, Algelina tattooed it with 6 coordinates of the birthplaces of her adopted and biological children. Later, she added a 7th coordinate, which people guess is the coordinates of Brad Pitt’s birthplace.
A Tennessee Williams quote “a prayer for the wild at heart, kept in cages” is tattooed on the inside of Jolie’s left arm.
On the inside of Angelina’s wrist is a tattoo of the letter “H” to express her love and respect for her brother – James Haven.
Angelina’s palm has a tattoo of the letter “M” as her homage to her mother, Marcheline Bertrand.
Jolie’s inner thigh tattoo “Whiskey Bravo” is Brad Pitt’s initials. Both Angelina and Brad Pitt have pilot’s licenses and Whiskey Bravo stands for the initials of Brad Pitt’s name according to the aviation alphabet.
