Megan Fox’s Collection of Sexy Tattoos Is Full of Surprises

Perhaps Fox’s most well-known tattoo is her portrait of Marilyn Monroe. Located on the inside of her right arm, Fox got the ink when she was 18 years old because she idolized the icon. However, in 2011, Fox decided to get it removed (more on that later).

In 2011, Fox said in an interview with Italian magazine Amica that she was removing the portrait of Marilyn Monroe from the inside of her arm via laser treatments. Her reason: “I do not want to attract this kind of negative energy in my life,” reported Marie Claire. Today, you can still spot the ink very faintly.

On her right shoulder, Fox has a quote inspired by Shakespeare’s play “King Lear.” It reads, “We will all laugh at gilded butterflies.” This tattoo is over a decade old.

On the inside of Fox’s left wrist is a thick black tattoo of waves that form a yin-yang symbol. It’s unknown exactly when she got it, but she’s had it for more than a decade.

On the right side of her back, Fox has a quote by philosopher, poet, and composer Friedrich Nietzsche. It goes vertically down her ribs and reads, “And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music.” She got it before June 2010.

Fox has a crescent moon and star tattoo on the inside of her right ankle. It is her only known tattoo that uses colored ink, with the star being blue and the moon a yellow hue. She’s had the tattoo for over a decade.

Etched on her left ribcage, opposite of the Nietzsche quote, Fox has a poem tattooed on her that she wrote herself. It reads, “There once was a little girl who never knew love until a boy broke her HEART.” It’s unknown exactly when she got the tattoo.

On the back of Fox’s neck, she has a tattoo of a Chinese symbol that stands for strength, according to BodyArtGuru. She’s had the ink for more than a decade.

Fox has an “Austin” tattoo on her hip for her now-ex-husband, Austin Green. The couple got married in 2010 and have three sons together. Since their divorce, it’s unclear if Fox has gotten the ink removed.

At the 2020 American Music Awards in November 2020, Fox debuted her collarbone tattoo that is rumored to be for Kelly. It’s of the word “el pistolero,” which is Spanish for “gunfighter,” in script.

Kelly’s “Banyan Tree (Interlude),” from his “Tickets to My Downfall” album, has a conversation between the couple where Fox says, “Like you just got my initials tattooed on you, and I got your nickname tattooed on me.”

In her 2021 Skims campaign with Kourtney Kardashian, two never-before-seen tattoos were spotted on Fox’s torso. Along her right side boob appears to be a fine-line script tattoo but it’s unknown what it says.

In her 2021 Skims campaign, Fox revealed a second never-before-seen tattoo. The design appears to be the faint outline of a bird on her rib-cage. Subtle but noticeable, the new ink looks like a sketch of a bird in flight, so it might be a symbol of freedom or release, but she’s kept quiet about the design.

During an interview for GQ Style, Fox and MGK got matching tattoos – inked by each other, on each other. It reads “The darkest fairytale,” on her left forearm. The meaning behind the phrase? Fox told the publication that it “alludes back to one of the first text messages we ever sent each other,” she said.

Kelly got the same script, only his was etched along his right hip bone.
