While most celebrities are covered in noticeable tattoos, you will be surprised to learn which stars have unexpected tattoos. 

Many of these stars have tattoos that are quite unexpected, so we round up those who have the most unexpected tattoos.

Reese Witherspoon

The Oscar-winning actress doesn’t strike us as the tattoo type, but the girl has got one. A big one. Reese has a big tattoo on her left leg of two birds connected by a heart. The swallows represent Reese and Jim Toth, her husband, and their life together. 

In some ways, the tattoo symbolizes their love and new life together. People (we included) consider Witherspoon to be an All-American sweetheart, so it is unexpected for her to have a big tattoo. 

Scarlett Johansson

Okay, maybe she is the celebrity of our list who has the most tattoos. Scarlet’s first ink is a colored sunset scene on her left arm. Her most recent tattoos include a lamb and rose stem on her back, tiny interlinking circles on the ankle, and rosary beads on the right wrist. 

Okay, that’s not all! Scarlet has a round symbol on her back, above the lamb and rose stem. This is our favorite tattoo – a horseshoe on her ribcage, and under it the words ‘Lucky you’. 

Beyoncé

The fabulous singer has 3 tattoos, but the one pictured below is the most noteworthy. ‘Four’ is the lucky number of both Beyoncé and her husband, so the number represents her bond with Jay-Z. 

Okay, let’s not forget her colossal Lorraine Schwartz engagement ring. That is a bond forever!

Ryan Gosling

His role in the movie The Place Beyond the Pines called for many tattoos, but the star has just a few permanent designs. This private family man had tattooed a dedication to his first child, his daughter Esmeralda.

The actor does have a few known pieces of body art. He thinks that older guys with tattoos look pretty badass. But, Ryan, believe us – you look fine yourself, too. 

Victoria Beckham

She has a handful of tattoos, but the most notable is the Hebrew text on her neck. David has the same tattoo, as well. 

Their tattoo translates to “I am my beloved’s and my beloved is mine.” Oh, how romantic! 

Emma Stone

There is a heartwarming story behind her tattoo. Her mum beat cancer, so Emma got a tattoo of bird’s feet as a nod to her mother’s favorite song, Blackbird by Paul McCartney. 

Okay, the story doesn’t end here. Paul himself designed her beautiful tattoo. She wrote a letter to McCartney asking him if he would draw the feet since he wrote the song. 

Zac Efron

Everyone stopped using the term ‘You only live once’ about four years ago, but Zac is now and forever wearing a tattoo of the YOLO acronym. 

YOLO is inked in a tiny script on his hand back in 2011, but he was first spotted with the tattoo on a press tour for New Year. Honestly, we don’t blame him for ‘hiding’ this one. Sorry, Zac.

Jennifer Aniston

She got her first and only tattoo in 2011. Jennifer Aniston has the name ‘Norman’ tattooed on her foot. Yes, we know that it doesn’t ring a bell! That is because it is not the name of an ex-husband or boyfriend, but it is the name of her beloved dog. 

After her Welsh Corgi-Terrier passed, Jennifer paid homage to her late dog by tattooing his name.
