Lily Allen has a tattoo of a goofy buck-toothed smiley face on the outside of her left ankle.
Lily Allen got this tattoo of a map of the world (sans Antarctica) on her left forearm in October 2014. It was done by artist Dr Woo using his signature style of extremely thin lines. It’s placed right below her global ideology tattoos, continuing with the same theme. (more…)
By 2014 Lily Allen’s “shhh…” tattoo had become faded and mostly worn off, so decided to cover up her regrettable tattoo with something new. She chose the number “1985” for her birth date May 2, 1985.
Lily Allen has a “tramp stamp” tattoo on her lower back of a flower. It’s a lily because her name is Lily. On both sides of the flower are green leaf-like swirls.
Lily Allen and her friend Lindsay Lohan got matching “shhh…” tattoos on their index fingers at Shamrock Tattoos in West Hollywood after a night of partying.
Unfortunately Lily didn’t realize that Rihanna already had the same tattoo, and now regrets it. In an interview on the Australian TV show Rove, she revealed “I since found out that Rihanna’s got the same thing, so it’s not really — I mean she’s very cool, but you know what I mean, it’s like I thought I was being original.” Lily and Lindsay got their tattoos in February 2009 but Rihanna has had hers since June 2008.
It’s a reminder that you should always do your research before getting a tattoo!
Lily Allen has nine tattoo small tattoos wrapping around her wrist like a bracelet. She started on the inside of her wrist with seven symbols — five to represent different major world religions along with a communist symbol and, oddly enough, Homer Simpson’s head. She later filled in the empty space on the back of her wrist with two more fun and lighthearted tattoos of a happy face and a cartoon dog.
Lily has never explained why she chose to get these symbols tattooed on her, but she has expressed some very mixed feelings about religion. She was raised Catholic but told Word magazine that she is “confused by religion” because the values that the religion preached were often at odds with how her parents acted. “I was brought up in a Catholic school and they told me gays were bad, adultery was bad and drugs were bad,” she says. “At the same time, all my mum’s friends were gay, my dad was having various affairs and there were drugs in the house when I was a kid – so it was a bit cruel.” She respects many religions and has said that she is particularly fond of Hinduism.
Here is a list of all nine wrist tattoos:
Om (ॐ) is a common symbol of Hinduism, though Om is also important in Buddhism, Sikhism, and Jainism. Om is the divine energy of the universe. | |
The six-pointed Star of David (✡) is a symbol of Judaism. | |
This tattoo is a silhouette of the Buddha sitting in a meditation pose. This of course represents Buddhism. | |
The star and crescent (☪) is a symbol of Islam. | |
The Latin cross (✝) is the most predominant symbol of Christianity, representing the cross that Jesus was crucified on. | |
The hammer and sickle (☭) is not a religious symbol, but a political one. It represents communism. The two item represent industrial and agricultural workers and crossed they symbolizes the unity between the different social classes. | |
This is the head of Homer Simpson, one of the leading characters in the cartoon TV show “The Simpsons.” | |
The barking dog comes from the works of artist Keith Haring, whose pop art style drew much of its influence from graffiti. | |
Lastly Lily has a smiley face (☺), a symbol of happiness. |
