Juliet Simms’ Tattoos
Tweet
Juliet Simms has over 20 tattoos. All of her tattoos have personal meaning and stories behind them. She told Inked Magazine: “All my tattoos are completely original. They are well thought-out and something I design and work out with the artist.”
Juliet says that she’s satisfied with her current amount of ink, though she may possibly get more tattoos in the future. She told Inked Magazine “I don’t want to be that girl who is completely covered up. I think I am good for now. I’m not saying I won’t get another, but I’m definitely taking a long minute before I go into my 18th tattoo.” She has added at least 5 more tattoos since then.
Juliet got her first tattoo at the age of 15 with her mom’s permission. It was a small treble clef on her left ankle that has since been covered by a snake.
On her left arm is a heart pierced by a dagger. There is a ribbon wrapped around it with the words “True Love.”
Juliet is a huge fan of The Beatles and has two tattoos of their lyrics. About this tattoo, she tells: “It says “Happiness is a Warm Gun,” which is one my favorite Beatles songs. I know what it’s about [heroin] and I don’t do that, but it is one my favorite Beatles songs.”
Beneath her left breast is a rose with thorns and the words “O Romeo, Romeo!” which is quote from Shakespeare’s play Romeo and Juliet. She got this tattoo because her name is Juliet.
On her left shoulder blade is a feather, which is a nod to her Cherokee heritage.
In September 2010 Juliet got a panther on her right shoulder blade. It’s done in a Sailor Jerry style, and Juliet says it was her first traditional tattoo. “The meaning behind it is that it’s clawing its way up my back. I got it at a point of my life where I was clawing my way to the top, basically.”
On the right side of her back is “I Believe in Yesterday,” which is from the Beatles’ song “Yesterday,” another of Juliet’s favorites. It is below the panther tattoo, but the panther had not been added yet in this picture.
On the inside of her right arm is the mark from the movie “Willow.” This is a matching tattoo with her ex-boyfriend, who is now her tour manager and best friend.
During Warped Tour 2010 Juliet added two tattoos on her right forearm. Below her elbow is a solid black eagle. She says: “I have an American eagle because I’m Cherokee Indian, which is also why I have a feather on my back.”
At the same time, she also had “I carry the fire” written along her right wrist. Juliet says: “I carry the fire” means in our family that you carry the passion and that you are essentially a leader. You know, ‘I’m carrying the fire so follow me.’”
Juliet has “I’d rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints” written along her left wrist and hand. This is a line from Billy Joel’s song “Only The Good Die Young.”
Along the outside of her left index finger is a cross with a chain attached to it.
On her right thigh, Juliet has some of her own lyrics. It says “Anticipation is killing me when butterflies have knives cutting up my insides,” which comes from an unreleased Automatic Loveletter song called “Someday.” The letters are stacked vertically and after the last words are the Japanese symbols for love and pain in red ink.
Juliet has a large snake tattoo on her left leg that starts right below her knee and goes down to her ankle.
In August 2011, Juliet Simms got two tattoos for her boyfriend Andy Biersack of Black Veil Brides, also known as Andy Six. Andy has “Dragonfly” tattooed on his left hand, which is his nickname for Juliet; and she has her nickname for Andy, “White Rabbit,” tattoed on her right hand. The T’s are replaced with upside down crosses, which are a symbol for Andy.
On her right ring finger, she has another tattoo for Andy of a heart with a cross inside it. She writes: First prison tat. Inward heart = taken. Upside down cross = a symbol for my dragonfly <3.
She has a tiny equal sign on her right wrist, which I do not know the story behind.
Photos of Juliet’s “Andy” tattoo on her right arm surfaced in October 2011. This tattoo is obviously for her boyfriend Andy Biersack, and is one of at least four tattoos relating to their relationship.
Around the same time, she got some words wrapped around her arm above her elbow. It says “When I hear your cries; Praying for life, I will be there,” which are lyrics to the song “Saviour” by Black Veil Brides.

Am i the only one who doesn’t like her tattoos? Idk, they just seem a little tacky to me,but i guess if they have a meaning to her..

No I agree with you Ashley, they seem generic and unoriginal. Except for the vertical type on her leg.
August 31st, 2010 at 7:48 pm
I love her!! Automatic Loveletter is an awesome band!! but, i have to agree with Ashley and marronandteal, i don’t really like her tattoos that much.
September 10th, 2010 at 10:10 pm
I only like the ones on her back and the brush strokes on her right arm. I honestly think that she looked the prettiest in the last picture. She didn’t have the ink all over her body then.

I like the Romeo one. It’s cute. But the full writing on her thigh is too much for me XD
September 23rd, 2010 at 2:45 am

November 16th, 2010 at 9:49 pm

The ‘brush stroke’ tattoo is actually the Mark from the movie Willow, on the baby Elora.
May 23rd, 2011 at 2:23 am
I love every tattoo except the traditional panther. Oh, well! My favorite is the “O Romeo, Romeo!” and the brush strokes – whatever the origin or what it actually means (Thanks, Luna).

September 5th, 2011 at 12:03 pm

I Completely Love All Juliet’s Tattoos, I Think Their Very Original and Different, & I Love The Way How Her Tattoos Display Such a Strong Meaning. My Favorites R ” The Heart Pierced By A Dagger,” the “Panther,” the “‘Brush Strokes,’” the “I Carry the Fire,” the “I’d rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints,” the “Cross,” her own lyrics “Someday,” and the “Snake.”
I Love You Automatic Loveletter

Her New Tattoos are cool

holy shoot i had no idea she was dating Andy Six. I feel like such a moron right now.
October 28th, 2011 at 3:53 pm
I love her tattoos. I don’t know how wise it was to get tattoos of anything relating to a boyfriend, but hey, to each her own. I’m a huge Juliet fan, whether or not I think her boyfriend looks like a girl >.>…I just don’t think it’s EVER a good idea to get a significant other’s tattoo…even if you’re married. But I’ll never judge based on that. I love Juliet, and I love most of her tattoos. Matter of fact I’m going today for the Willow one :3 Love you juju!
November 13th, 2011 at 10:13 pm
I don’t thing her and Andy should have gotten couple tattoos. Theyre famous who knows how long they will last. Some of her tattoos i think are gaudy but if thats what she likes then go for it.
December 7th, 2011 at 7:40 pm
Most of her tatts are great but I’m not too crazy for the one’s she got with Andy…I mean, the brush strokes from Willow were with a bf as well, let alone his name. I’m not really digging the vertical writing either…just not my thing. xD
January 2nd, 2012 at 10:41 pm
I love her white rabbit tattoo!!
January 4th, 2012 at 10:45 am
I wonder what she will do if she and andy would ever break up. Also I believe Andy has one of his ex’s names tattoed on his body as well.
So stupid..not a good idea to get a significant others tattoo..I would never do that if I was her or him.
January 6th, 2012 at 9:26 pm
i never heard of her bfore she started dating Andy from BVB and i like her tattoos….
January 28th, 2012 at 7:27 pm
Juliet’s Andy tattoo at the top of her arm is very much real. If you look a few pages back at her tumblr, there is another photo of her with it. I love both Andy and Juliet but I wish they hadn’t got tattoos of each othr. What if they break up? You don’t need tattoos to express love.
January 29th, 2012 at 10:48 pm
@xtwistedprincessx He has his ex Gf’s initials tattooed on his arm but they’d been dating for years he even wrote a song for her.
I dont think they shouldve gotten those tattoos, Andy and Juliet i mean they havent been dating for that long i got when Andy did it for Scout but they dated for a really long time Andy and Juliet have only bee together for what 7 months?
I think its a big mistake for her especially to have gotten 3 tattoos for him.
February 6th, 2012 at 12:55 pm
The writing around her arm says, ‘When I hear your cries praying for life, I will be there’ It’s a quote from a BVB song called Saviour.

thank you so much!
