Lights Poxleitner’s Tattoos
Tweet
Lights has a few large tattoos of comic book characters and fictional weapons that reference her self-proclaimed nerdiness. She also has text on her forearms and index finger. She has a lot of tattoos, so there might be some missing here.
Wonder Woman pushing off the hand of Giganta, with the word UNSTOPPABLE written across it. According to Lights, 'it really represents being able to fight big things even though you're small'
the Twinblade of the Phoenix from World of Warcraft on her right arm (photo above is a mirror image)
a laser gun on her hip
lyrics translated into German on her forearms. According to lights-love.com, it reads 'Jetzt und immer die Segen von der Vater und bleibst Unschuldig bis Er kommt' which means 'Now and always have the blessing of the father and remain blameless until the end.' Lights has said she likes tattoo because father in German looks like Vader (as in Darth Vader).
FOUND IN LOVE written on the inside of her index finger
you can see the wings of the sparrow tattoos she's talking about beneath the raygun
the sparrows close up
'in this fearsome pilgrimage unearth a crusader’s heart' on the left side of her ribs
on Lights' left wrist was a heart with a banner which you can see in heavy black ink. It seems to say 'unto him.' She had this incorporated into a colorful and intricate coat of arms.
on her left elbow is a lion
a Final Fantasy character and her pet tiger on Lights' upper left arm
the same Final Fantasy character with her hair fully colored
a hearthstone from World of Warcraft on her ankle

August 6th, 2010 at 2:52 pm
there are some spelling mistakes in her german quote tattoo.
Jetzt und immer der Segen von dem Vater und bleibst Unschuldig bis Er kommt.
Anyways.

I love all of the tattoos. Especially the one in German and the one on her index finger. So out of the ordinary.
September 3rd, 2010 at 9:57 pm
hey, what about her tattoo on her ankle? it’s a Hearthstone from World of Warcraft, so she can always use it to go home..
September 17th, 2010 at 10:04 pm
I like the FOUND IN LOVE
& the quote in german is epic. But I dont like the World of Warcraft one or the laser gun. I dont get it.
September 23rd, 2010 at 4:33 pm
I have always loved the german one on her forearms, but the “crusader’s heart” one might have just topped that, I just love that it goes with the placement.
September 25th, 2010 at 5:00 pm
I wanna see more of those sparrows..
September 25th, 2010 at 9:23 pm
then there’s the one tattoo on her other arm that was turned into a crest. plus the new one of the lion she just got.
October 2nd, 2010 at 3:03 pm
yeah, the German one has some mistakes.
I’m pretty sure the grammar is way off, but i still really like the tat
seriously though- if you get a tat in a different language, it might be nice to check with a native speaker first ;P

November 10th, 2010 at 8:22 pm
LIGHTS’ tattoos are awesome, i think they do a really good job of representing her
November 11th, 2010 at 12:57 am

Just FYI for those questioning some of the tatooes
Grammer on the German tattoes-She got the quotes from her grandmother, who spoke German as a first language, right before she died. After she got the tatooes, she found out her grandma told her the wrong way to say it, grammatically speaking of course, but she says she doesn’t care because it was what her grandma told her, and it is a memory of sorts to her grandma.
And about the WoW blade and the Laser Gun.
blade- She got it because it’s her favorite weapon on the game. Also, the jewel coveres up a scar she got when she was younger. I believe it was a jellyfish sting, but I could be mistaken. That’s not the sole reason she got the tatoo, but it contributes. I remember reading or hearing in an interview that she also likes the fact that when she shakes people’s hands it’s like something along the lines of her blade is facing them. Something like that, I don’t remember exactly.
laser gun- She has this thing about space. she’s obsessed with scifi stuff. Laser guns are kind of her theme. Real deidicated fans even call themselves LASers. LAS standing for Lights Addiction Syndrome. I’m pretty sure it’d be her weapon of choice if laser guns were commonly used weapons.

the german tattoo has some pretty obvious grammar mistakes
December 21st, 2010 at 11:28 pm
her tattoos are awesome
i saw her live and i’m pretty sure she has a lion on her arm, maybe I’m wrong…
i just adore her
December 21st, 2010 at 11:34 pm
…and another thing…
i looked at the lyrics for that song
its so beautiful, i can see why it means alot to her.
December 21st, 2010 at 11:35 pm
ahhh opps that meant to be for demi’s tat! ^^^^ gahh
January 16th, 2011 at 6:42 am
i think she looks disgusting. i don’t know what makes these people think that huge tattoos like this all over their body looks attractive. it doesn’t. just goes to show you no matter how talented some people are they can still have a dire lack of sense and judgment.
January 17th, 2011 at 5:15 pm
@theking — There’s no need to call her ‘disgusting’ I can understand that your opinion is yours and I respect that,but it is clear that she is happy in her own (tattooed) skin and the tattoos mean a lot to her and it is clear you have that different views on this matter; there’s no need to say that they have ‘dire lack of sense and judgement’ just because you have a different opinion.
January 25th, 2011 at 10:00 pm
Okay I just have one question ..
first of all i LOVE Lights and adore her tattoo’s .. i wanna get some like hers maybe (:
but, for the crusaders heart one .. is that on her boob? I wonder how much that would hurt ..
January 25th, 2011 at 10:06 pm
OH and some pictures confused me so much. -_-
kayso, in the one of her sitting showing her sword tattoo .. the caption says left arm , but her sword tattoo is supposed to be on the right? D:
January 31st, 2011 at 12:22 am
I love her tattoos :] The twinblade is my favorite. And yes, she is aware of the spelling mistakes in her german tattoo. But she got it translated from her German relative, who was the last one left in her area. For that, it has a special meaning to her. (She was kind of old too, which probably explains the spelling errors)
Somewhere in her ribacage/back region, I’m pretty sure. And also, the camera she took the picture of the twinbalde with probably just flipped it around.
@Sarah, no its not on her boob
February 9th, 2011 at 9:43 pm
Wow! I didn’t realize how many tats she has! I kinda think she looked better when she didn’t have al the huge ones like the sword and the wonderwoman one. The meaning to the wonderwoman one is great, but I think she looked a lot better with only a couple of tats.
February 11th, 2011 at 10:01 pm
@ Anna, Ohhhh okay that makes more sense, thank you haha (:
February 12th, 2011 at 1:23 am
her blades on the wrong arm?
March 1st, 2011 at 12:31 am
@The King- if you think she’s disgusting why are you looking at her pics……. i think your jealous or did she hurt you? either way. LIGHTS FTW!
March 26th, 2011 at 11:36 am
I Like This!!!
April 10th, 2011 at 8:07 am
She’s had quite a few more since these…she’s practically got a full sleeve on one of her arms now, and has her -:”/9 tattoo on her finger to match her boyfriend Beau Bokan :’)
April 13th, 2011 at 7:23 am
I’m glad to hear this grandmother story about German tattoo… I’m German myself and had to read the original quote in order to understand the meaning. It really doesn’t make ANY sense… but well I guess that’s who she is – not everyone would get a tattoo in a foreign language without double-checking the meaning.
Other than that, I LOVE the Wonder Woman tattoo and the weapons. Nerdy tattoos are friggin cool if you can pull them off.
July 18th, 2011 at 3:19 pm
What about her lion tattoo? And the heart with a banner on her wrist? And this one: http://twitpic.com/3o9w5z http://twitpic.com/3yslk2 ??

LIGHTS is an amazing inspiration to so many. I love all of her tattoos because they have sentimental value to her as a person and that’s definitely something to respect. I could see my self getting her German tattoo but in English and on one arm instead of spreading it out onto both. All of her world or war craft tattoos are so cool. I’m a bit of a nerd my self so I suppose that’s why i understand all of her tattoos. I’m just waiting for her to get the star trek emblem somewhere. To all you haters, go ahead and keep hating. It gets you nowhere in life. Start loving, as God has called us to love everyone for who they are. Weather you like her tattoos or not, LIGHTS is genually a kind hearted person who loves everyone as she should. Take after her example and leave no smile un-brightened. LIGHTS legally changed her name from veronica to LIGHTS because she said that veronica was a part of her life that was over and it was time for a new chapter. In a few years I hope to take after that example by legally changing my name to river, because I have always found such beauty in water. A common name given by most parents doesn’t describe the true beauty within every human being. When it’s hard for me to find beauty in myself I think of a river I saw once and how it had such character and radiated un-describable beauty that could not be denied, no matter what was on the inside, or what flowed through it’s currents. I think that everyone should have the chance to do what lights did on the path of descovering them selves:)
August 18th, 2011 at 10:49 pm
Does anyone know what her tatoo -:”/9 means? Both her and her Bf have it, and i LOVE it, but i have no idea what it means lol.
August 19th, 2011 at 10:33 am
finally someone who doesnt just have a tiny heart or a freaking star
August 20th, 2011 at 7:33 am
@River – Her name was Valerie before she changed it to Lights,not Veronica
August 27th, 2011 at 2:35 pm
Well, I for one love ALL of her tattoos! My favorites are the twin blade and the coat of arms though. P.S. @River her name really was Valerie…. Not Veronica.
August 28th, 2011 at 7:27 pm
When you get a tattoo, it should be something that you want to look at for the rest of your life.
Somehow I don’t think in 25 years the favourite weapon in your favourite video game when you were 21 is going to have any real meaning.
And honestly, you guys who are thinking of copying her tats, please don’t. Get your own, they should mean something to you, you shouldn’t just copy what your fav celebrity has.
And I can guarantee you if you got it done and went up to her and said “Hey Lights! I love you so much I got all your tattoos!” you would creep her out big time.
September 17th, 2011 at 10:17 pm
wow her lion tattoo is gorgeous.
September 22nd, 2011 at 6:12 pm
she also has a matching tattoo with her boyfriend,but i have no clue what it means
September 28th, 2011 at 6:38 pm
I lovvee the hearthstone, It takes you home, I think that’s one of my new favorite tattoos ever. I wanna get ittttt noww.
And the twinblade of the pheonix is my other favorite… 
October 7th, 2011 at 2:40 pm
omg ! i love her tattoo of the sword im getting one just like it !!!!! can’t wait !!! she’s my idol !
October 17th, 2011 at 3:15 am
amg!! wow tats!! awesome!! :3
October 17th, 2011 at 12:46 pm
LIGHTS tattoos are epic i love them all….@River i want to change my name too but am not sure yet ? but i want to change it because i want something that represents me and what am all about
November 27th, 2011 at 10:08 am
Whats up with all the weird world of Warcraft tattoos, but I love lights and I guess she is just being herself
November 30th, 2011 at 2:20 pm
She got a new matching tattoo on her finger with her fiance Beau Bokan -:”/9
December 13th, 2011 at 3:20 pm
First of all,I love love love LIGHTS! She is bloody awesome!!
But the German tattoo´s a bit embaressing,because she obviously did not check out the correct form,’Jetzt und immer die Segen von der Vater und bleibst Unschuldig bis Er kommt’ makes no sense at all… :/ Sorry.
I am German and I would rather translate it like this:
“Habe jetzt und immer den Segen des Vaters und bleibe unschuldig,bis zum Ende.”
(It´s not that easy to translate it into German,you can translate the meaning of it,but not the whole quote,like word by word…The German grammar is very different from the English one, and the expressions tend to be completely different.)
You could also say it like: “Behalte jetzt und immer den Segen des Vaters und bleibe ohne Schuld, bis zum Ende”(remain without gulit-ohne Schuld sein/bleiben,behalten-keep something)
or like: “Behalte den Segen des Vaters,jetzt und immer,und bleibe unschuldig/schuldfrei/ohne Schuld,bis zum Schluss.” There are a few more versions,you could use.But Valerie´s version,however,is completely false.
If someone of you guys is ever going to meet her in person could you PLEASE tell her that?Thanks.
December 18th, 2011 at 1:21 am
The German quote is a literal translation from English so it is NOT wrong!
December 20th, 2011 at 11:02 pm
what does her -:”/9 tattoo means??? love her and all of her tattoes (:
January 4th, 2012 at 10:40 pm
For those wondering what -:”/9 mean, she said in an interview it means beings really happy. I’m not sure which interview but yeah, thought I would share.
January 5th, 2012 at 6:35 pm
THANK YOU @Elle, for telling us what its about XD I’ve been tearing up the internet for the past hour trying to determine what it means lol
February 5th, 2012 at 2:53 pm
As cool as they look now, they’re going to look downright ridiculous in 25 years. I think that people should stop living in the moment, and think about their future sometimes. No disrespect to Lights, I like her tattoos, and I think that they make her look edgy. But she went overboard, and she’s going to have to face the consequences in years to come.
