Ruby Rose got a tattoo of British comic book character Tank Girl on the left side of her back in February 2011. The tattoo is done in a more realistic style than most of her others and she was very impressed by artist Bang Bang’s work. “Can you believe it is possible to tattoo like this,” she tweeted.
Lights had a comic book version of herself called “Captain Lights” designed by Marvel artist Tomm Coker for a series of webisodes. The laser gun which she has tattooed on her hip comes from these comics.
Lights has a large tattoo on her back of Wonder Woman pushing off the hand of Giganta from the cover of Wonder Woman 2 volume 3. At the bottom of the tattoo is a banner with the word UNSTOPPABLE written across it. According to Lights, “it really represents being able to fight big things even though you’re small.”
Lights identifies with powerful female figures, and is particularly enamored with Wonder Woman. She explains: “Wonder Woman is kind of my role model. She’s beautiful and she’s pure, and she fights with immense strength but integrity. She fights with justice and honor, and she’s not doing anything in a slimy or destructive way, and she’s doing it with grace and out of respect for everyone. And she’s an ambassador for Themyscira and a real symbol of a powerful woman. I think it’s fantastic. And she can kick ass and still look great doing it, so I feel like she’s a great symbol for us.”
Like many of her tattoos, this one represents strength. “Everything I have on me makes me feel like I can do anything,” she says.
Sherri DuPree-Bemis got this portrait on her left forearm in May 2013. It was her first tattoo to incorporate color. The girl in the tattoo is a character from her husband Max Bemis’ comic book series Polarity who was loosely based on Sherri herself. It was drawn by Jorge Coelho and tattooed by Jeremy Swan at Broken Art Tattoo. Max got a tattoo of his own at the same time featuring a different character from Polarity. (more…)

Ash Costello took hold of a tattoo gun and gave herself this “Blow Me Up” tattoo on her arm in February 2014. The phrase comes from the DC Comics villain Harley Quinn, who says “I’m having a bad day. I’m sick of people trying to shoot me, run me over, and blow me up!” For Ash, the phase represents perseverance:
My tattoo says “blow me up” with a red and green heart. I’ve always felt like a Harley Quinn just looking for her Joker, that mad love, 2 villains, it means and no matter how much you try and blow me up, I’ll always keep coming back. So go ahead and blow me up then, but I’m still here, causing trouble, just waiting to cause some trouble with him instead.
Maja Ivarsson’s largest tattoo — and also her favorite — is a woman in a catsuit on her right forearm. “I love pop art. This is Modesty Blaise and she’s like a British cartoon from the ’60s and she’s, like, a super cool agent with big tits and big guns and she’s super hot. I’m a big fan of her and you know, it’s a cartoon, but it’s a pretty awesome tattoo,” she told Prick Magazine.
