Well , not for celebs . In fact , Heather Locklear , Brad PittandAngelina Jolieall emerged from the summertime with young ones . Jolie is known to have at least a dozen , including a Tennessee Williams quote , a bombastic tiger , and her latest : the parallel and longitude coordinates of the countries where her adopted children were behave .
So what ’s the celeb captivation with sleaze ? Here ’s a surmise for you : Maybe this is yet more evidence that Hollywood mavin are , indeed , our royalty . Why do I say that ? Just dig this list of authentic royalty from the 1800s , all of whom go away under the needle !
of England started it all in 1862 with a bare cross of Jerusalem but was so fond of it , he went on to tot a Japanese dragon on his forearm . This inspired :
his sons , The Duke of ClarenceandThe Duke of Yorkto get tattoo , as well as :
King Edward VII
King Frederik IX of Denmark
King Alexandar of Yugoslavia
Czar Nicholas of Russia
And my personal fav : Winston Churchill ’s mum ( ! ) Lady Randolph , who had a snake inked around her radiocarpal joint , which finally inspired her famous Word to tattoo himself , as well .
There were many others , too , like Prince George of Greece in the late 1890s and Prince Francis of Teck . For a full list of all the royal , as well as our modern - mean solar day versions , check outvanishingtattoo.com .
