Catherine McNeil, again.

I seem to be doing a post on Catherine McNeil every month!

She has so many tattoos she could be the next Freja of the model tattoo world!


I've written about this one before, but i didn't have a good picture of it at the time. It's the words going down her right rib cage.
It says 'The day that I die will be by far the most beautiful day I ever lived.'


The other tattoo I'm posting about is the one on the top of her right thigh. It's a Chinese symbol, I'll try to find someone to read what it says.

UPDATE: the Chinese symbol says 'snake'

Penelope Cruz Tattoos

I'm going to start doing a post or two a week about celebrity tattoos. For some unknown reason the world seems to be overly obsessed with celebrities and people want to know everything about them and their tattoos are no different. Many people are curious to know what some of their favorite celebrities have tattoos of and what some of them might mean.

Well I thought I would start with Penelope Cruz. I know she is a kind of random celebrity but I read this interview with her talking about her tattoo. Or should I say the lack of talking about her tattoo. Penelope seems to be very guarded about her tattoo and will not reveal the meaning or significance behind it. Which in all honesty she has every right to feel that way. But it is a little odd because most people like to share the story behind their tats. But if she wants to keep hers private than all power to her.

Here is how the interview went,

Is it true that you have 883 tattooed on your ankle?
It is true, but I never say why.

Is it an area code?
No, and it's not a Harley-Davidson. It's not the different things that have been said.

So everyone can have a theory?
I don't think anyone cares. It's my own tattoo.

And it's your own ankle.
Uh-huh.

I guess we will never know the meaning behind the 883 on ther ankle. But until then I guess we all will just have to keep guessing or trying to come up with what it might mean. But it doesn't seem like Penelope is going to confirm it even if we do guess the right thing.

Mark McGrath Tattoos

The front man of the fun loving group Sugar Ray is no stranger to the tattoo gun. Mark has varies tattoos located all over this body. Most of his tattoos have a lot of personal meaning to him like most people. But Mark is a great example of not judging a book by its cover. Not only is Mark the front man of a rock group but he also has a degree in journalism.

Below is a list of most of Mark's tattoos.

1. Cadillac logo located on his right hip because he won't drive anything but a Cady.

2. He has the letter "M" located on Mark's left chest breast. He got this tattoo because it's the first and last initial of his name.

4. He has 3 Shamrocks located on his left hip/butt cheek. He supposedly got these tattoo for Mickey's 30oz. beers.

6. The word "Rolex" along with the logo on the right side of his waist. He got this tattoo because he lost a $100 bet.

7. Sparrow birds on each of his front shoulders. He got these to celebrate the success of "Fly".

8. He has In Memory of Rose located on his right forearm. This tattoo is in memory of his good friend (Snot singer) Lynn Strait who died going to a Sugar Ray show.

9. The letters "Mc" located on his lower back above tail bone. This represents his last name McGrath.

10. The letter "S" located above Mark's belly button.Steve from Smash Mouth and Mark got drunk and then got tattoos to signify the first letter of their band name.
