Swirl Tattoos

Evan Rachel Wood

Evan Rachel Wood has a diamond and swirls on the inside of her right ankle, covering up a previous tattoo. It’s inspired by the songs “Shine On You Crazy Diamond” by Pink Floyd and “Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds” by The Beatles.

Her original tattoo had the same theme but was more ambiguous. It was a combination of a strawberry and a bird with a tiny diamond next to it, representing The Beatles songs’ “Strawberry Fields Forever,” “Blackbird,” and “Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds.”  She got the tattoo after acting in the musical film Across the Universe based on the music of The Beatles. However the tattoo was too detailed for its small size.  She told People “Nobody can figure out what it is. It’s supposed to be a strawberry with leaves in the shape of a bird, but everybody says, ‘Is that a ferret sticking out of an apple?'”

With the cover-up she narrowed it down to just one theme and went for a clear and obvious shape.

Joan Jett

Joan Jett has a v-shaped swirl tattoo on her sternum to represent the presence of the divine in herself and in every person.  “This is an ornate V, with a diamond seed in the middle,” she wrote. “I read that 10,000 to 7,000 years ago, so of the first figurines that were discovered to represent divinity had this V mark on the chest. So I put one on me to remind myself that there is divinity in each of us.”

Margaret Cho

This black and white portion of Margaret Cho’s backpiece was done by Kat Von D. “I just got an amazing tattoo from Kat Von D on her show ‘LA Ink,'” she blogged. “I have been a fan for a long time and I am so excited to finally have it done. Kat is incredible and totally nice and funny and fun. We had an awesome time and it didn’t even hurt because Kat is so pretty nothing she does could possibly hurt anyone!”

Margaret has now covered the right side of her back as well.
