Alyssa Milano’s back tattoo is the Tibetan syllable “Hum.” Along with the “Om” tattoo on her wrist, this symbol is part of the Buddhist meditation Om Mani Bêmê Hum（ༀམཎིཔདྨེཧཱུྃ། in Tibetan) which translates to “jewel in the lotus.” Both the Hum and Om symbols are merely sounds without linguistic meaning.

1. I got the same neck tattoo because I thought it was cool. I also got the charmed symbol on my lower back. I own all the charmed dvds. I refuse to watch the reboot.

2. I just finished watching S5:Ep17 and yes, there’s the tattoo, plain as day.

3. Are these real tattoos or are they for the show? I saw her in season 4 and she didn’t have the tattoo on the back of her neck. It was in earlier episodes.

   • They are her own real tattoos. They might be covered up with makeup for the show, I don’t know. But this photo is from a red carpet event.

4. What does the symbol mean on the back of her neck. Getting that done today on my neck. Help.

   • The reason you did not see her tattoos is because they use makeup to cover them up
