Hollywood Quotes About Tattoos
AKA Reasons For Hollywood Not To Get Tattoos
By Molly Kalafut
Charlie Sheen
2001 on his tattoos during the sitcom Spin City:
"You can't even see the one that looks like a note pinned to my chest with the message 'Back in 15 Minutes.' I have 12 tattoos and I wish I hadn't gotten so many now. It's hard when you have to take your shirt off - two hours in make-up and it doesn't cover them."
October 2004 on his tattoos:
"I had some tattoos lasered off my chest. They don't represent the lifestyle I thought I would always have. So now I have to go through the very slow and painful process of having them removed."
Pamela Anderson
2002 on her barbed-wire upper arm tattoo:
"It is true I have Hepatitis C and have undergone outpatient treatment at UCLA Medical Center. I contracted Hepatitis C while sharing a tattoo needle with my ex-husband Tommy Lee. Tommy has the disease and never disclosed it to me during our marriage."
Lea Thompson
November 2000, on her new tattoo during her Broadway stint for "Cabaret":
"One minute I was changing diapers and the next, I got my belly button pierced and this lovely moon and stars tattoo on my butt...It got caught on my corset a few times"
Guy Pearce
November 2000, on why acting prevents him from getting a tattoo:
"The practical side of my mind takes over. I remind myself that I'm going to have to keep covering them up for the different roles I take on. Also I wouldn't be able to decide what I'd want."
