Today there is growing list of famous people who are drawing attention for their body art. Celebrity tattoos have become the trend in mainstream pop culture from music to films and even authors. But historically the popularity of tattoos started with musicians such as Janis Joplin in the 1960’s who was tattooed by the legendary Lyle Tuttle. The list has grown to include musical artists from every genre, including Eminem, Britney Spears, 50 Cent and Christina Aguilera. Several of these artists have more than one tattoo.

It’s amazing how the perception of body art has changed in the past 30 years. There was a time society frowned on individuals who sported a tattoo, considering them as rebels or outlaws. Today not only will you find tattoos on musicians, but now celebrity tattoos are a common sight on the body of supermodel Sarah O’Hare as she made her way down the catwalk . The tattoo of Kate Moss was seen when she was recently photographed for a top fashion magazine. There are many celebrity tattoos that are not always seen. Many times the tattoos of the actor Johnny Depp are disguised by makeup but many times they are displayed and play a supporting role to the character of the film. This type of concession may be due to his rank as a leading actor in Hollywood, but many fear that the same may not be true for Eminem who is looking to add more tattoos as well as expand his acting career.
