Can you match the celebrity with the tattoo?

From ‘felt-tip’ style collections to matching wedding vows and shocking blackout body art, MailOnline takes a look at the stars’ most controversial inkings.

While some tattoos hold a deeper sentimental meaning, others are simply ‘for fun’ or because it is ‘cool’.

Some celebrities hold an extensive collection of over 40 tattoos and are completely covered head-to-toe, while others have just a single ink.

Known for standing out from the crowds, many celebrities have become synonymous with their famous, or rather infamous, tattoos.

From famous nepo babies, to iconic singers and professional footballers… Can you match the celebrity with the tattoo?

Chest covered in black ink

Before the inking, the singer had a chest full of different tattoos but decided to cover it in black ink for ‘spiritual purposes’.

The black ink envelops his upper body, while a few of his original tattoos can still be seen through paneled gaps along his arms and within the cross symbol etched across his chest.

The painful procedure, which required ’44 needles’, also had a ‘spiritual consultation’ with his tattoo artist before diving into the process.
