Angelina’s designs include a Tennessee Williams quote, a Buddhist prayer and geographical coordinates of where her children were born.

The three largest tattoos on her back were added in 2016– ancient Buddhist mantras down her right shoulder blade, a temple in the centre of her back, and, below it, a grid design known as a Yantra, believed to bring good luck.

Beneath these is the image of a large Bengal tiger that she acquired in 2004 to celebrate her Cambodian citizenship. 

She got the tattoo in Bangkok, which was was made in traditional Thai style with a manual needle, and was blessed by the tattoo artist, who chanted an ancient hymn while making it. 

A tattoo on her left shoulder blade is a script dedicated to her son Maddox, whom she adopted in Cambodia, and was done in 2003 in a Thai hotel.

Just months before actor-turned director Angelina split from her husband of 12 years, Brad Pitt in 2016 the couple had a former Thai monk flown to Cambodia where she was filming. 

He drew designs on both stars using the same ink to symbolically and ‘bind’ them as husband and wife.

Although Angelina looked breathtaking on the red carpet, it was her children who stole the show as she joined by her four youngest kids; twins Vivienne and Knox, 10, Shiloh, 12, and Zahara, 14.
