Megan Fox
Celebrity mom Megan Fox has multiple tattoos, including this large one on her ribcage, which she shared a photo of on her Facebook page with the quote, "Every time I get a new tattoo it's like a little f-you to anyone who told me not to."
Fox, who has two children (Noah and Bodhi) with her husband Brian Austin Green, has eight tattoos, including this one down her left ribcage that is a poem tht Fox herself wrote that says, "There once was a little girl who never knew love until a boy broke her HEART."
In addition, she has a tattoo on her right shoulder blade of a Shakespeare quote that reads, “We will all laugh at gilded butterflies.”
Fox also has a tattoo of Marilyn Monroe on her right forearm that she got when she was just 18 years old. The actress is currently undergoing laser surgery to have it removed, so it is much more faded now. She explained she was removing it because she felt it brought "negative energy."
Fox also has a tattoo on her right ankle of a crescent moon and star, which she said is a tribute to a book her father used to read her as a child.
In addition, Fox has husband Brian's name tattooed on her lower right hip area, a tribal wave tattoo on her left wrist, a Chinese symbol meaning "strength" on the back of her neck and a tattoo on her right ribcage that says, "And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music.” This last ribcage tattoo is a tribute to actor Mickey Rourke, with whom she worked with in 2010, and is a quote from German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche.

The tattoo on her left shoulder blade that looks like four vertical lines is actually a Buddhist Pali incantation and is written in Khmer, which is the language of Cambodia. It was reportedly done to help protect her and her adopted son, Maddox, from bad luck. It reads:
May your enemies run far away from you.
If you acquire riches, may they remain yours always.
Your beauty will be that of Apsara.
Wherever you may go, many will attend, serve and protect you, surrounding you on all sides.
On the back of her neck, she has the words "Know Your Rights" tattooed in a gothic letter print.

— Mark Eaton (@Mark13Eaton) January 8, 2014The actress has a star with two small birds on either side of it. What is the meaning of the ink?
"She has had the star tattoo for a few years," a source tells Us Weekly. "After she and Jim got married, she added two birds — one to each side of the star."
"She had wanted to do something new and different for a while," the source reveals. "In some ways, [the star tattoos] kind of symbolized their new life and love together. People consider Reese to be such an all-American sweetheart, so it is more unexpected for her to have ink. She loves it — and so does Jim."

and I promise you my soul
for my bounty is as boundless
as the sea and my love as deep;
the more I give to thee, the more
I have, for both are infinite.
The tattoo is combination of Dean's wedding vows and as a quotation from Romeo & Juliet.
