Tattoo Designs Sayings: Christina Ricci Tattoos

Christina Ricci Tattoos

Christina, in Vancouver, Canada, shooting the film Prozac Nation, found herself on set with some time on her hands. Deciding that nothing makes time fly quite like getting some ink, Ricci visited acclaimed tattoo artist Thomas Lockhart at the world famous West Coast Tattoo Shop.

Ricci selected a colorful bouquet of Sweet Peas to adorn her lower back. Ricci, as charming in person as she is on screen, fell in love with Thomas’ constant companion, Chili Conchita. Chili, a pure bred Chihuahua, knowing that good things come in small packages, was equally taken with the diminutive Ricci.

Aslan from The Chronicles Of Narnia

Christina’s most visible and largest tattoo is a on her shoulder. It is Aslan from C.S. Lewis’ The Chronicles Of Narnia (one of the books, of course, being Ricci’s favorite book The Lion, The Witch And The Wardrobe).

Aslan, the Great Lion, is the founder of Narnia. The name (pronounced Ass-lan) means lion in Turkish, and came from the book Tales From The Arabian Nights which C.S. Lewis used to read as a child. Unlike any other character in the Chronicles, Aslan appears in all seven books but he only comes when Narnia is in terrible need, as when Edmund’s life is in danger in The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe. Aslan is a huge and terrifying lion (though, when he wants to be, he is gentle and playful) and has such great magic at his command that he is able to defeat the White Witch, just when she thinks she’s got the better of him.
