Megan Fox’s Collection of Sexy Tattoos Is Full of Surprises

On her right shoulder, Fox has a quote inspired by Shakespeare’s play “King Lear.” It reads “We will all laugh at gilded butterflies.” This tattoo is over a decade old.

On the inside of Fox’s left wrist is a thick black tattoo of waves that form a yin-yang symbol. It’s unknown exactly when she got it, but she’s had it for more than a decade.

On the right side of her back, Fox has a quote by philosopher, poet, and composer Friedrich Nietzsche. It goes vertically down her ribs and reads, “And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music.” She got it before June of 2010.

Perhaps Fox’s most well-known tattoo is her portrait of Marilyn Monroe. Located on the inside of her right arm, Fox got the ink when she was 18 years old because she idolized the icon. However, in 2011, Fox decided to get it removed (more on that later).

In 2011, Fox said in an interview with Italian magazine Amica that she was removing the portrait of Marilyn Monroe from the inside of her arm via laser treatments. Her reason: “I do not want to attract this kind of negative energy in my life,” reported Marie Claire.

Today, you can still spot the ink very faintly.

Fox has a crescent moon and star tattoo on the inside of her right ankle. It is her only known tattoo that uses colored ink, with the star being blue and the moon a yellow hue. She’s had the tattoo for over a decade.

Etched on her left ribcage, opposite of the Nietzsche quote, Fox has a poem tattooed on her that she wrote herself. It reads, “There once was a little girl who never knew love until a boy broke her HEART.” It’s unknown exactly when she got the tattoo.

On the back of Fox’s neck, she has a tattoo of a Chinese symbol that stands for strength, according to BodyArtGuru. She’s had the ink for more than a decade.

At the 2020 American Music Awards in November, Fox debuted a new collarbone tattoo that is rumored to be for Kelly. It’s of the word “el pistolero,” which is Spanish for “gunfighter,” in script.

Kelly’s “Banyan Tree (Interlude),” from his Tickets to my Downfall album has a conversation between the couple where Fox says, “Like you just got my initials tattoo’d on you, and I got your nickname tattooed on me.”
