We’ve sifted through the finger mustaches and lower back butterflies that make the tabloids to determine the most magnificent, meaningful, or daring pieces of body art tatted on celebrities. We’re mostly considering singular pieces of art, so while a person’s collection of ink, and the extent to which tattoos have influenced their lives, are taken into account, they’re not the be-all-end-all of this list.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">#1: Sleeves</div><div style="text-align: justify;">David Beckham</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Ignoring a misspelled Hindi script version of his wife’s name, Beckham has a collection of incredible body art. It's hard to ignore the winged cross tattoo creeping down the back of his neck, but the top prize has to go to his sleeves. Over the years, he’s inked additions to both arms that make them a part of his signature “Beckham” look; combining punk style and British elegance. Adorning his arms are Roses, Cherubs, a large angel with a script beginning with the words “Let them Hate,” some Latin, some Hebrew, some Roman numerals, and several dedications to his wife, Victoria. Collectively they’ve formed an identity for Beckham that’s in turn helped deflate the negative associations once connected with tattoos, and inspired their popularity among the general public.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">#2: Native American Bird</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Anthony Kiedis</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Okay, we have to commend all members of the Red Hot Chili Peppers for their dedication to interesting body art. Former Pepper guitarist John Frusciante has that gnarly octopus covering his shoulder, and well, Flea’s entire collection is worth noting, but it’s the lead singer who claims the most captivating work of art. Spanning the upper half of his back, from shoulder blade to shoulder blade, Kiedis sports a large Native American bird. Debate remains as to whether it’s of Incan, Aztec, or Haidan inspiration. However, two facts cannot be argued: one: it, like many of his tattoos, is definitely a tribute to Native Americans (and in case you didn’t know, he’s got Mohican ancestry); and two, it is a seriously amazing, seriously cool work of art.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">#3: Bengal Tiger</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Angelina Jolie</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Before she was such a philanthropist, humanitarian, and one half of the couple every tabloid gushes over, Jolie actually had a bit of a wild streak, which led to some interesting stories and awesome tattoos. Arguably her most famous and stylish tat is the Bengal tiger she covered her lower back with in 2004. Measuring 12 inches long and 8 inches wide, she had the tiger inked with a manual needle by artist Sompong Kanhphai in Bangkok to celebrate her newly confirmed Cambodian citizenship. Finalizing the new artwork, Kanhphai blessed Jolie and the tiger with an ancient hymn. More elegant words may serve it better but it is undeniably “cool”.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">#4: Jack Swallow</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Johnny Depp</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Despite the long list of incredible roles Depp has filled – Sweeney Todd, Ichabod Crane, Gilbert Grape – his most famous character is far and away Captain Jack Sparrow of the “Pirates of the Caribbean” franchise. Of the character’s tattoos, Depp chose to keep one, which depicts a flying swallow. He did, however, make some alterations. Depp changed the direction of the swallow to have it flying towards, rather than away from him, and he also wrote the name of his son, Jack, underneath the bird. With the changes, the tattoo takes on even more meaning, representing the love Depp has for his son and the certainty that he, like the sparrow, will always “fly back.”</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">#5: Goddess Isis</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Rihanna</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Placed covering her sternum and spreading beneath her breasts, Rihanna flaunts this tat in many of her videos and Instagram posts. However, that’s not the reason it’s on her body. Rather, Rihanna wanted to honor her late grandmother, whom she sincerely admired. She selected the Egyptian Goddess Isis because she represents the ideal version of a mother and wife. Tweeting the picture, Rihanna wrote, “Complete Woman – Model for Future Generations” hashtagging her grandmother and professing the special place she holds in her heart. So while the tat certainly adds to Rihanna’s beauty, remember that, to Rihanna, it means so much more.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">#6: Boombox</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Travis Barker</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Famous for his drum work with Blink-182, Travis Barker’s pretty much covered head to toe in tats, but amid all the chaos of the Virgin Marys and the Marilyn Monroes, one tattoo stands out, never failing to catch the eye: the boom box. A big, old school, cartoonish stereo system finds itself planted smack dab in the middle of the drummer’s stomach. Symbolically, the boom box may be among Barker’s most important tattoos, as it signifies his undying, yet playful love for music. The boom box represents the music that has shaped Barker’s life since he was just a young boy, and continues to shape it today.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">#7: Blackout Body</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Tim Commerford</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Tim Commerford, most known for tearing it up as bass guitarist and back-up vocalist for Rage Against the Machine, has also become a popular figure in the inking community. He’s been a pioneer of blackout tattoos, meaning that rather than using black ink for specific designs, he uses it to create a base and allows empty space to be the creative vehicle. His most well-known and highly visible blackout tat covers a large portion of his body, stretching from his left leg, up his back, and finally wrapping around his shoulders to display two symmetrical swirls. We’ve seen blackouts become more and more popular in the early 21st century, but Tim will always be able to say he was one of the first.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">#8: Tiger</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Adam Levine</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Does a tattoo have to mean something? Most of the Maroon 5 lead singer’s tats hold some sort of significance; he inked the dove and cherry blossoms five days after 9/11 as a tribute, and the “Mom” tattoo speaks for itself. Then there’s the massive back tattoo with a mermaid that reportedly took 6 months to make. But when it comes to the tiger, though, well no one can seem to figure it out. On the tiger ink, Levine has said it “was inspired by (his) love of this amazing book of Tibetan drawings,” but that raises more questions than it answers. Regardless, the tiger is his standout tat. It’s awesome, no doubt about it, and that’s exactly why we’d love to know the story behind it.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">#9: 50’s Back</div><div style="text-align: justify;">50 Cent</div><div style="text-align: justify;">With “In Da Club,” “21 Questions,” and “Candy Shop,” 50 Cent made himself pretty much untouchable. Equally impressive is the rapper’s assortment oftattoos, especially his “50” back tattoo, which is an absolute work of art. Spreading over the tat is a banner reading “Southside,” representing 50’s affinity for his home neighborhood of South Jamaica, Queens. The massive design is one of the few tattoos 50 has kept since he decided to remove several pieces of body art in order to help his burgeoning film career.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">#10: Woman Wearing a Sombrero</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Danny Trejo</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Audiences have grown to know and love Trejo thanks to his menacing roles in films like “Machete,” and “Desperado,” but viewers may not know that, prior to his film career, he actually engaged in behaviors that landed him in some tough prisons. It was in these facilities where he inked his chest with this lovely Mexican cowgirl. Sporting a sombrero and penned directly over his heart, she takes up the vast majority of his torso. The Sombrero woman, along with his other tats, has earned Trejo the nickname “Illustrated Man.”</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div>Editornoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2302438076205759857.post-11313785483428917392017-08-13T01:55:00.000-07:002017-08-13T01:55:27.160-07:00Top 10 celebrities who look like other celebrities<div style="text-align: justify;">Let's have a look at the top 10 celebrities who look like other celebrities (celebrity lookalikes). We've looked at some seriously similar celebrities! There aren’t too many rules to this one; if you’re famous, and you look like someone else who’s famous, then you’re in contention!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">#1: Will Ferrell / Chad Smith</div><div style="text-align: justify;">First placed and all-but identical, this rock star ‘slash’ comedian duo looks so alike it almost defies science. There’s little primping and preening with Chad Smith and Will Ferrell… Their look is au naturelle and oh so similar! It’s silly actor meets Chili Pepper; it’s funny man meets drummer man; it’s regular-looking middle-aged guy meets… Exactly the same thing! An appearance from both the boys on the Tonight Show saw Ferrell swap slapstick for drumsticks… It was funny and freaky, all at the same time!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">#2: Katy Perry / Zooey Deschanel / Emily Blunt</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Our runner-up is a gorgeous group hug that almost anyone would do almost anything to be stuck in the middle of. It’s the brunette locks that do it… No! It’s the big eyes… No! It’s the hot bodies… Oh! It’s everything all rolled in together! Their styles aren’t that similar, their careers aren’t carbon copies of one another, but put photographs of these ladies (which we know you have stored away somewhere!) side-by-side, and the resemblance is not only striking, it’s spooky!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">#3: Javier Bardem / Jeffrey Dean Morgan</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Surely, surely these two are related?? It’s just not natural to age symmetrically… But, these two have pulled it off! Sometimes double really is trouble, though, and Bardem and Dean Morgan are advocates of that fact. Their defining roles as Anton Chigurh in “No Country for Old Men” and The Comedian in “Watchmen,” respectively, give the actors a hard, hostile, semi-psychotic reputation. They’re a talented, terrifying twosome that’s tricky to tell apart!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">#4: Isla Fisher / Amy Adams</div><div style="text-align: justify;">There’s just something about these two that’s totally twin-like! They may not have the same colored eyes, but otherwise they’re magnificent mirror images! Amy Adams, of “American Hustle” fame, doesn’t entirely understand it, but the auburn hair and awesome smiles are almost perfect pairs. ‘I could be mistaken for a lot worse people’ said Adams in a recent interview, as she laughed about the likeness, and stated the overwhelmingly obvious!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;">#5: Logan Marshall-Green / Tom Hardy</div><div style="text-align: justify;">When they grow beards, they look alike… When they shave their heads, they look alike… when they walk the red carpet it’s almost impossible to remember which is which. Tom Hardy and Logan Marshall-Green take the art of doppelganger-dom to another degree and to the next level. One stars in “Prometheus;” the other stars in “Inception.” We think they’re two people, but they could just be one big Hollywood hybrid – a Mr. Tom Logan Marshall-Hardy-Green, or something…</div></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;">#6: Minka Kelly / Leighton Meester</div><div style="text-align: justify;">They’ve both got the hair, they’ve both got the smile, they’ve both got those ‘come and get me’ eyes and a pleasant sounding name. Leighton Meester and Minka Kelly are American actresses who appear to have fallen from the very same tree. Meester’s most known for her role in “Gossip Girl,” while Kelly found her fame on “Friday Night Lights.” They’re leading lady look-a-likeys and they’ve taken prime time TV by storm.</div></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;">#7: Zachary Quinto / Eli Roth</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Okay… Imagine a tall guy, with dark hair, dark brown eyes and a jet white smile… and then imagine that there are two of him. It may be too much for some people, but if you ever find yourself in a room with Zachary Quinto and Eli Roth, then it’s a dream that becomes reality. Roth’s most noted for his work behind the camera, but as Quentin Tarantino’s ‘Bear Jew’ he was the most handsome of Nazi hunters. While Quinto, on the other hand, simply sexed up “Star Trek” as Spock!</div></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;">#8: Henry Cavill / Matt Bomer</div><div style="text-align: justify;">With their bright blue eyes, chiseled jawlines and fashionable stubble, these boys are what every girl wants, and what every guy wants to be. Being Superman, Cavill might have thought that he would stand out from the rest of Hollywood… And he does… It’s just that if the movie-makers put Bomer in a cape and latex, then the damsels in distress and the dudes in danger would be none the wiser. One’s a superhero, they’re both super actors, and they’re super, super similar.</div></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;">#9: Rhona Mitra / Kate Beckinsale</div><div style="text-align: justify;">These British beauties are like peas from an exceptionally pretty pod. They’ve taken their trade in different directions, but they share style and sex appeal in equal measure. Beckinsale has proven a big hit in Hollywood, making a name for herself in “Pearl Harbor” and reinforcing her fame through the “Underworld” series. For Mitra, the screen has been smaller, but the success has been steady. With these women, it’s seeing double delight!</div></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;">#10: Nick Nolte / Gary Busey</div><div style="text-align: justify;">We rewind to the ‘80s and the ‘90s for our tenth-placed twins. These guys aren’t actually related, but boy could they be brothers! Their fame was achieved in a remarkably similar fashion as well; Nolte got his break in the buddy-cop Eddie Murphy movie “48 Hours”; Busey became a big name by playing a villain in “Lethal Weapon.” When they were both middle-aged and both blonde floppy-haired, they were interchangeable international stars.</div></div>Editornoreply@blogger.com0
