Getting Kanji tattoos never gets old for anyone looking to get inked. Kanji tattoos are frequently used to convey messages either about the people themselves or their advocacies. Instead of simply getting a tattoo with an unambiguous meaning, people sometimes prefer to keep others guessing and eventually make them curious. This is why celebrities choose to get Kanji tattoos that will intrigue their fans. Here are more celebrities with Kanji tattoos:
Ariana Grande is one of this generation’s superstar artists. She started out as an actress for famous teen shows such as Victorious and Sam and Cat. After her acting stint, she went on to become a pop music sensation with albums such as Dangerous Woman, Sweetener, My Everything, Thank U, Next, and Yours Truly. In line with her new album, 7 Rings, Grande got a tattoo of the kanji, 七輪 thinking it translated to “7 rings”. However, its actual English translation is “charcoal grill”.
Chris Evans is an actor that everyone can easily recognize wherever he goes. This is because of his most prominent role as “Captain America” in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. He was the lead actor of the Captain America trilogy and one of the main faces in the the Avengers saga. He got his Kanji tattoo, 氏, which was meant to mean “family”. However, the tattoo’s original translation is “surname” or “maiden name”.
Cher is one of the 20th century’s most prominent singers. She was able to top the charts with her songs Dark Lady, Half-Breed, and Gypsies, Tramps, and Thieves.
