It’s National Tattoo Day – Celebs With Unusual Tatts And Countries Where Tattoos Are Illegal
Today (July 17) is National Tattoo Day – a day we recognize the history and culture behind the ‘etching of ink permanently’ on skin. And just by the mere definition alone, I am no fan. Personally, I just can’t see causing myself pain on purpose.
But, plenty of people are fans, like R&B/Pop star Rihanna who has more than 20 tattoos on her body; R&B’s Chris Brown just had an Air Jordan 3 shoe tattooed on his face and we can’t forget about ex-boxing champ Mike Tyson and his infamous tribal tattoo on the left side of his face. And of course, rapper Lil’ Wayne might be the king of facial tattoos with at least nine tattoos just on his face alone. And the list goes on.
But, you can’t get a tattoo everywhere. There are at least 11 countries where sporting a tattoo is illegal, viewed as offensive and could get you kicked out of the country.
- Germany
- France
- Slovakia
- Sri Lanka
- Thailand
- Japan
