Tattoo Designs Sayings: Angelina Jolie Tattoos In Wanted

Angelina Jolie Tattoos In Wanted

Angelina Jolie has revealed that two of the tattoos she acquired for her latest film Wanted are a homage to Britain's World War II leader.

The words in gothic script on her upper arms come from a speech Sir Winston made on the day he took office in 1940. In an interview for US television, Jolie said: "We tried to focus the tattoos on themes related to this sense of justice. "From Churchill's speech, 'We have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears and sweat', I had 'toil' and 'tears'."

For Jolie, playing a trained killer called Fox in Wanted was a relief from the usual experience of having her extensive body art collection covered up. "Instead of taking mine away, which we have to do in every film, we ended up leaving mine and adding more," she said. "I have 'strength of will' in one language, and we added it in four other languages on my arm.

"'Know Your Rights' is printed in English on the back of my neck, and again in Latin as well." After the birth of her twins, she will have the map co-ordinates of their place of birth tattooed on her arm.
