Johnny Depp's Tattooed For Life


He's not only a leading man, but a leader in the realm of tattooed actors. Johnny Depp started getting skin art before it got trendy, and he's kept his whole ink collection very personal. In fact, most of the time, you won't see a single tattoo of his in any of his movie roles.

He's got designs for his Native American heritage, the name "Betty Sue" for his mom and one that used to be for Winona Ryder. He's got tattoos for both of his children too.

In the first movie, Sparrow's right forearm is bared by Norrington, to reveal a sparrow tattoo and a branded P for 'pirate.' In the sequel, the sparrow tattoo is now on the left arm. The reason? In the first movie, it was a fake tattoo. When you see it in the second movie, it's now a genuine tattoo, which Depp decided to make permanent after the birth of his son Jack. Johnny not only switched the arm placement but he had the design "flipped over" so that now the sparrow is flying towards him, not away.
