A Johnny Depp Tattoo Guide for Fans

Posted by Tattooaholic

Perhaps his most famous tattoo is the one on his right bicep that reads “Wino Forever.” You probably already know that he used to date Winona Ryder.  Since their relationship obviously didn’t work out, he had the “na” removed from the tattoo.  Johnny Depp also has a head portrait tattoo of a Native American chief located there.

Johnny has a tattoo of a sparrow on his right forearm, with the word ‘Jack.’  Despite what some might think, it has nothing to do with his portrayal of Captain Jack Sparrow.  It is actually homage to his son Jack.  There’s also a symbol on his forearm that means ‘The Brave.’  On his left bicep, Johnny Depp has a tattoo of an inverted triangle.

Some of Johnny Depp’s other tattoos include the number three on his left hand, a skull and crossbones design with the inscription ‘death is certain’ on his right leg; a heart engraved with his mother’s name, Betty Sue, on his left bicep, small rectangles on his right index finger, and a small mysterious symbol on the inside of his right ankle. Johnny claims to have a couple more tattoos that he keeps covered.

Now that you know about his tattoos, do you feel inspired to get one of your own?  Why not just get a Johnny Depp tattoo!?  Many people get images of their favorite celebrities tattooed onto them.  They do this to honor their favorite legend, whether it is Elvis Presley, Michael Jackson or…well… Johnny Depp!  Captain Jack Sparrow tattoos are pretty popular these days, as are Ed Wood and Ichabod Crane. Since he is most famous for his oddball, eccentric character roles, it is not surprising that many people get a Johnny Depp tattoo in the likeness of one of his characters.

If you want to do this yourself, make absolutely certain that you choose the best tattoo artist possible.  Make sure that the one you choose has experience with drawing and inking in faces.  You obviously want the image to resemble Johnny (or one of his characters) as much as possible.
