Thirty-six percent of those ages 18-29 have at least one tattoo, states a poll from the year 2003. I can only assume that this has increased since then. I personally have 4 tattoos and am currently jonesing for more. I think that once you get one, you’re addicted!

Many celebrity women have tattoos as well. These are my top 10 tattooed female celebrities. I judged the celebrities on the creativity and uniqueness of their tattoos.

10. Courtney Love

—Whether or not you think she killed Kurt Cobain, her tattoos are quite nice. They are a little on the more tame side, but they are still nice nonetheless. Her fairy tattoo is very unique to her, and I love the flourishes that are added above it, they really make the tattoo ‘pop’. Her floral ankle bracelets are also very nice.

9. Mia Tyler (Model and daughter of Aerosmith’s Steven Tyler)

—Mia’s tattoos are all mainly concentrated in her sleeve on her right arm. I know that many people have fairy tattoos, but hers seems a lot more individual to me. I also like the small heart that she has on her chest, it’s wild but still remains classy at the same time.

8. Jessica Alba (actress)

—I’m not sure about Jessica Alba’s acting skills because I can’t recall any movie that she’s been in, but I love one of her tattoos. This may be because I am partial to the lotus flower, but she has the sanskrit symbol for the lotus flower on one of her wrists. It’s very sharp and well-defined, and that’s nice to have in a tattoo.

7. Christina Ricci (actress)

—Christina’s tattoos are varied, ranging from the lion from the books about Narnia (Aslan) to praying hands on her hip. I don’t usually like tattoos on the breasts, but she pulls off a black and blue sparrow on her right breast very tastefully. I also love her tattoo that goes across her ribcage on one side that says “Move or Bleed” because I’m sure it holds some sort of deeper meaning to her, and the script of the words is very elegant.

6. Angelina Jolie (actress)

—Angelina seems to be everyone’s #1 tattooed celebrity these days. I choose her for my #6, but this doesn’t mean her tattoos aren’t totally fabulous. I’ve always loved the Latin quote she has tattooed, “Quod me nutrit me destruit”, which translates to “What nourishes me destroys me”. Her more recent tattoos show the longitude and latitude of where she adopted children Maddox, Zahara and Pax, and where Shilo was born. I love that she has a very important aspect of her life, her family, tattooed on her body.

5. Melanie C. (former ‘Sporty Spice’ of The Spice Girls)

—Melanie C’s tattoos are colorful and individual, and each one seems to have a different meaning behind it. Two of her tattoos stick out in my mind. First, she has a very brightly colored dragon on her right calf that looks very well thought out and is extremely detailed. Second is her lotus tattoo, which although it’s not very detailed, it looks very crisp and clean.

4. Drew Barrymore (actress)

—Drew Barrymore’s tattoos are very different from each other, but they all keep a sexy, feminine form. I especially like the butterfly she has directly beneath her bellybutton. Her tattoos seemingly remind me of mine, because despite the fact that they are all completely different, they all maintain their femininity and that’s important to me.

3. Tila Tequila (MTV reality show star)

—The main reason I love Tila’s tattoos is their placement. They look really nice on her, and all of them also seem to be original designs. My favorite tattoo of hers is the winged heart with a musical note in it on her right bicep. I love the femininity of them all as well.

2. Pink (singer)

—Pink has many tattoos, each one just as unique as she is. I might not care much for her music, but her tattoos are very beautiful and original. Her black and gray guardian angel tattoo on her left shoulder blade is very pretty, and her kanji tattoos are very fitting. I also like that she has her brother and father’s dog tags from the army tattooed around her ankle. Family is a great reason to get tattooed!

1. Kat Von D (tattoo artist, reality TV star)

—By far the most tattooed woman on the list, Kat Von D not only has tattoos but is an amazing tattoo artist as well. My sister and I both agree that she is one of the few people who can pull off having stars tattooed on their face, and they look absolutely stunning on her. Another favorite tattoo of mine that she has is the “Hollywood” right below her bellybutton. It’s a great, inventive place for a tattoo and I love that she is representing the place where she came from!
