have fun on the vay-kay, JJ!
Ah JJ that sounds like a dream vacation! Thanks for the lovely pictures…We’ll miss you and treat your friend well.
I’m thinking it’s pretty obvious that belly tat should have shown up in the shower pics. hmmm…..
those tattoos are not going to be so looking quite so hot when she’s 40…or 70.
My favorite is the quote by Tennessee Williams, "A prayer for the wild at heart kept in cages"
What’s that supposed to mean, aha?
Have a good vacay, Jared!
thanks j@red for this new thread! have fun and good luck on the test.
# 4 | yikes I don’t care if her tatoos sag down to her knees. She will always be an amazing woman.
some people dont suit tattoos, she does! as for the comment on tattoos not looking good when shes 40 or 70, do you really think she give a flying **** what they will look like? i dont think so, she is a live for the moment girl.
the pic of her and billy bob is hot!too bad billy is not so hot!
I love her ink… likewise, I have a few and in the process of getting a few more.
ugly and stupid is no word for what that idiot did to her body.beautiful people can make themselves ugly, and she chose the permanent way………..so stupid
I don’t think people who get tattoos really care about what they are going to look like in twenty years. They get them as a representation of something that is important to them now.
#14… it is her body and she can do whatever she likes… it is her right. Check it out "Know your Rights".
AJ tattoos are all sexy and meaningful.i wanted to have one as well but i dont have the guts to do it.AJ is gorgeous andvery sexy.she makes tattoos very sexy.
Thanks JJ for the new Thread.HAVE A WONDERFUL VACATION JARED
Stef - Had this on the other thread but figured you’ll be here so…Awww, I’m glad to hear you doing fine. Rest up and the go wow them tommorow.Re FanficsRica posted earlier this week (Baby Shi’s discoveries) - Usual ThreadGitane has a new one in the Bamzs Family Pix threadCHM, Malibumom and Passing Through have theirs on the BP Home ThreadAlso on the BP Thread is New Writer Krissy. You’re gonna love it.We had to abandon the Rumors thread…it was getting to much to load but yoou can check it out for the fics you missed. I think that’s about it but if I’m missing ant….Estelle is sure to be on top of it.
she wears her tattoos very well. she has a lot but they aren’t in your face and at least they aren’t balloons and unicorns. fugly as hell is just jealous because jolie got knocked up, popped out a kid, and is still hotter than fah will ever be.
*Fans self* That cross! Damn, her tattoos are hot!Have a good Holiday, Jared
Angelina is sexy period!This woman is just naturally beautiful,even with the tats.
# 14 | fugly as hell | ugly and stupid is no word for what that idiot did to her body.beautiful people can make themselves ugly, and she chose the permanent way………..so stupid +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++I get the feeling that if AJ had pristine, alabaster skin, you’d find something else to piss about.
I love tattoos and I love Angelina’s tattoos, they all have specific meaning which is great.
Sexy. Very sexy.
Have fun Jared, and be safe!jpf
For someone who is so into tattoos, she sure has had a lot removed or covered up. I recognize a few that are straight off the wall of a tattoo parlor. I think her tatts are ugly only because they are not original, poorly done, and erased. I have tattoos, they are definitely a documentation of my life at the present. I’m all for it. I just couldn’t imagine eradicating part of that documentation. I hate that angelina is "the" example for a tattoooed woman. There are so many better ones out there. She makes tattoos seem trite and cheap. I think she sucks. I normally don’t hate on celebs like this, but this one just got me. The worst insult I ever got about my ink, was that I reminded someone of angelina because of my tattoos. I think she ifs full of ****!
LOL@ Steph. I feel the same way
Thanks Jared. Have fun. *waves*
# 24 | Alexanderina I love them and have yet to get one. My senior citizen mother is on #2, but I just don’t want anything, nor anywhere. I’ve given myself until Nov 06 to decide, and I plan to have something before the new yr.jpf
# 24 | AlexanderinaBtw, my mom’s is an orange rose (her fav flower) and a leopard (her fav animal). Did I mention she’s a gemini? lol.jpf
They’re not my thing, but she can get away with anything.
maybe Angelina cares more about the meaning behind the tattoos rather than the aestheticness of them.
nice comeback jayne. i’ll think of you when i cumhave a lovely day
#27I don’t think she got that Buddist Prayer for Maddox off a wall or the tiger when she went to Cambodia. I am sure her tats mean something to her the same as yours. AJ is a beautiful woman with/without the tats. She is not the first to get tats and neither are you.
# 29 | Original jpf | - I am planning to get one soon as well. I was telling my bf recently that before the end of the summer I will have my long a waited tattoo, and like you I just don’t want anyone I want something with meaning.
# 27 | nicegirl - WTF!Not original/straight off the wall of a tattoo palour :s Yeah, cos everybody and their friend has co-ordinates of their childs birth place, a prayer in their sons native language, Tenesse Williams quotes and arabic. etc…The dragon and others may seem un original and off the wall now because after she got them they became popular!
# 27 | nicegirl Well since you got that off your chest I hope you feel better……btw, I love her tat’s as do the the other women in my family. Excluding myself at present, the others (5) so far have at least 2, and the most 13.jpf
nicegirl, the difference between you and angelina is aj a very gorgeous lady and very popular moviestar.AND YOU? U ARE NOTHING.NO ENTITY AND NO ONE CARES ABOUT YOU!
# 34 | nicegirl |please take the advice of ## 30 | Jayne —-Anyway great point Steph
I love Jolie, Thank-you Jared !! your a sweetie …….Now lets figure out what they all mean how many does AJ have?
Nice girl needs her mouth washed out with some tat ink
She is really the sexiest and the most honest women in showbis. There´s nothing not to like about here she´s all beauty!
My favorite now are the numbers for her children. I think that’s ORIGINAL and sweet. Love it. The muslim tattoo is also great. Im a muslim myself.
If more people were as giving to others like Jolie There would be alot less hungery children in the world she is a beautful human inside and out
# 36 | Alexanderina I read a story once in a book called Bullwhip Days which is a slave narrative. This particular one talked about how the slave women would sneak down to a creek, or fill a wash tub with water, and the purpose was so they could pray to God outloud without an echo giving them away. I just have always thought that to have that kind of faith/belief under the circumstances they were living was amazing, and when I thought of a tat, that’s the first thing that came to me. The rendering is the part that’s proving difficult. I have a brother, and a cousin who are both graphic artists, and I draw a bit, and my mom, but what I want just hasn’t been captured as yet. I also don’t want it large and trying to simplfy the art without reducing the message is proving a challange.jpf
# 31 | Original jpf | - lol, Gemini huh, just like Angelina.
I bet you can find that prayer and the tiger on her back on the wall in the cambodian parlor.
It s like AJ almost repsents every Faith in harmony on her own body
I am almost positive that each and every time Angie was inked, something significant was happening in her life even though it might be bad or good. But in her mind she was acknowledging and celebrating that moment by getting inked… which is all about feeling. She is a very passionate woman! I have a few and I quite like it.
# 44 | jenoh, I almost forgot about that tat. That one is one of my faves now, too. I bet a lot of people have already copied her on that one.
(((((FIC ALERT)))))you know where and you know how to get there. my i.d. is the key!
nicegirl,just shut-up!you arenot angelina jolie!THE ANGELINA JOLIE!
ew. how trashy. she would never get into the gated community i live in, thank god. reminds me of what the late great jacqueline kennedy had to say about women who do this.
Here is a recent quote from Angelina and a good picture of her. http://www.time.com/time/quotes/0,26174,1206631,00.html
ok nice girl I have decied that you need a good therapist what are you some bi-polar freak, you are so passive agressive take your crap to a good DR
#48really, what’s his name?I didn’t get tattoos so people could look at me.I’m an artist and I drew them all.People will know me for quite sometime before they realize I have any.I’m not a bitter bull dike.Just had a wild urge to leave a commentDon’t worry, i won’t do it again.It’s not worht it.
I think fugly and nicegirl are jealous of the woman who is not afraid to wear her art on her body yet still manages to look so good. The reason her tattoos are famous is because of the woman herself. That is why people are reminded of Angelina when they see a woman with ink. Unless they are tattoo enthusiasts who are quite familiar with ink artists and famous tattooed women, they wouldn’t be interested in details. I bet nicegirl is popular in conventions but out in the real world, people’s interest would only be how much tattoos remind them of the real famous people such as Angelina, who else? It really sucks when you’re not a celebrity but then again, what can you do except suffer for your art in anonimity. Or complain to who would listen coz you’re a nobody.
I keep wondering when Brad is going to start acquiring tatts. And I think it would be cool to seek the young children with them also. What class. Those tatts are going look great at about 75. I have nothing against tatts. I like them but good grief she’s gottta out of control. For a being such a beautiful woman why is it necessary to ink your whole body. She’s freakin’ weird to the max.
#48, John… that is so true. When I got my first ink I was told that because of Angelina Jolie, inking has become so very popular and very big business especially here in Toronto. It is no longer a taboo although for some it still is.
http://www.time.com/time/quotes/0,26174,1205486,00.html"Next we’ll adopt" not soon we’ll adopt
WTF? And what are your tattoo’s? The greatest ever and mean more than everyone elses? Please spare us your BS. Angelina is the most unique person and you will never be her. Go away.Please!
Well Brad sure does like them………..KEEP ON ROCKIN BAMZS!
Thursday, Jun. 15, 2006“Now I know how Brad and Angelina feel.”— Kelly Kulick Responding to how it was like to now be a celebrity of sorts. Kulick is the first woman to qualify for a season-long exemption on the Professional Bowling Association Tour, a 20-event circuit that begins in October.
tattoos are obviously angelina’s way of expressing her beliefs and commemorating events in her life. i think they add a touch of the exotic and mysterious to her personality. as for me and tattoos, i don’t have any. i’m terrified of pain, although i’ve been told that they only burn a little. still, i’m a wimp. if i were to get one it’d be on my back between the shoulder blades.
# 49 | nicegirl So what if she did ? (although that’s not what she says and I have no reason NOT to believe her)Why do they have the pics up if not to be used/inspired by? What IF someone walked in and saw a prayer/saying/meditation/scripture and said "yeah, that speaks to me"……what’s your issue with that? So what if a person had something in mind, and then they saw a rendering of it on the wall of a shop and they say "that’s the one." jpf
i dont aj will cover her whole body with tattoos.if you notice’she gotno tattoosin her both legs not even in her feet and ankles.i’ve seen a lot of celebrities have tattoos on those parts.aj knows where to have tattoos that looks sexy and attractive.
So because you chose to hide your tattoo’s (people have known me for quite some time before……..blah blah blah) Yours are better and mean more?? Again go away!!!
# 46 | Original jpf | - I really hope that you get to do it, the idea of getting a tattoo with that kind of inspiration behind it, is just incredible. I think that I will try and find that book. It sounds like a great book to read
# 27 | nicegirlAre you sure all of your tats are originals? I doubt it. she erased Billy bob because she was probably drunk out of her mind during that whole time. Why the hell would she want that name on her now? Why don’t you go tatoo your whole face. now that would be real original. go try to look cool to someone who cares. you being compared to Angelina is in insult to Angelina.
NICE GIRL to answer your question, the tattoo artists is Mark Mahoney who owns the Shamrock Social Club. All those guys up there are well known for their work … and well liked. Mark has tattooed just about everybody who’s ink is worth photographing & admiring, so get a clue before you run around trashing someone’s work. She didn’t pull any of those tattooes of just some wall. Give her a little bit more credit than you give yourself. The tiger & the Cambodian saying are not found in any "Cambodian ink shop"!! Please!
# 53 | gitaneThanks for the paging… and for another fic.OT, I see two people who didn´t use to come here and now are babbling… Pfffff, talk about hypocrisy!
#55 TrishGated Community. You have got to be kidding. BP/AJ have 3 estates they call home , not to mention world travelors. I think they can do without your Gated community. Think outside the box for a change.
# 55 | Trish ?jpf
Just remember anywhere ON bone will hurt the most. The fleshest, fattest part hurts less, but yes it does burn a little. The worst part for me was on bone and large outlines, the coloring in part was mild.
people’s lives change, they shouldn’t be damned for wanting to erase certain aspects of their past. like she was really going to keep billy bob’s name on her arm after she divorced him, just because tattoos are suppose to be permanent. i bet there are some real bad asses who’ve probably had tattoos similar to those up on a parlor wall. i’d like to see nicegirl confront some of them for their "unoriginality" and maybe they can knock some sense into her. i agree she probably got inked, not just to document her present life, but also to look cool. she’s probably just bitter she’s not getting enough attention for her so-called original tattoos that she has to run her mouth and get attention here.
I can relate to the personal meanings she’s had inscribed, as I know that the tradition of marking oneself is as old as humankind. It even dates back before the era of written language. Symbolic expression upon one’s body is a way to communicate identity without spoken language or literal conversation. It leaves much open to liberal interpretation, which is why certain people are drawn to it and others are repelled. I relate to Angie’s tatoos in the expression of sacrifice and positive intention; we are all transformed by events in life, but certain creative people need unconventional outlets for such transformation, be it tatoo or writing or drama or prayer, etc. A few years ago I received threats by parents of two of my students, promising physical harm. (I teach at a rough school.) This experience transformed me after an incident involving a restraining order against one very angry man (who by the way never gave a reason why he was so upset.) In dealing with such a circumstance, I found a greater strength that I drew into a tatoo that symbolizes a shield over my heart. It represents the Sun Dance, and important tradition from my tribe which is believed to make a person invisible to bullets. Since getting this particular tattoo, I can earnestly state that I have felt no fear at being stalked or threatened in any way. It’s a reminder of this incident, along with a few other memories that I’ve endured that have made me stronger.Of course, this is my own story, but I do think it parallels many others who chose to be tattooed. Each has its own significance which can never be washed away with time during our lifetime. It shows how pain transforms a soul. Just ask a holocaust survivor what those numbers mean; it may be heartwrenching, but it is certainly REAL.

"# 53 | gitaneThanks for the paging… and for another fic.OT, I see two people who didn´t use to come here and now are babbling… Pfffff, talk about hypocrisy!"HI SUNLIKE!Assuming you meant me in that little jab, as always, can’t let things lie!It’s true, I usually just read and don’t post. Not once have I ever said I didn’t come here so it’s not hyporcricy :pHave a nice day!!!
I think that we should just stand back and enjoy this woman without trying to analyze her so much.We haven’t seen anything like her before and we,most likely,won’t see anything like her again in the near future.She is unique in her own way,she is a star who will never bore us.Like her or not,we must all agree with that.I think that she fascinates even the people who claim that they hate her and that is something that only unique personalities can achieve.
# 81 | MeliITA
#66, Gitane, it is not that bad on the shoulder blades. Actually, you hardly feel anything, if any at all. It is the part of the body that is mostly exposed or weathered as they say. I just had one done there… and I did not feel anything at all. It was a singe!
Trish?? You live in a gated community because you have no identity and mind of your own. You live in a cookie cutter community, where the people are all the same, the houses are all the same and the narrow minded way of thinking is ALL THE SAME. Something tells me AJ does not aspire to live in "The Land Of Noddy" anytime soon. She is a well travelled woman, with real thoughts & opinions on life, politics love etc. So go back to your soccer Mom duties and leave the real living to those who choose to do so. And when the day comes that you wake up and realise your husband is philandering with his secretary then you can go and look at yourself in the mirror and you will understand why. Because you are a boring, mindless, pretentious twit.
# 76 | To gitaneyeah, i heard that. i see all these people with tattoos on their ankles and i feel for them. my back’s not bony so on the off chance i make the decision for ink, i should be okay.
# 77 | Ciev ITA. One of my female cousins who has like 10 (and counting) says if she had known that the "love of her life" wasn’t, she would have saved herself a whole lot of pain when she had his name removed, and it taught her to not put another tat in the name of love on her body. She also said that things come to you, or you change your way of life, and so shes more reflective about what she chooses "because it hurts like hell getting them removed lol."jpf
# 84 | Nick | - LMAO, great post Nick lol
# 53 | gitane | - Great fanfic Gitane. Love it, can’t wait for the next one. Thanks
# 80 | Steph And who said I was talking about you whoever you are!? Pfffffffffffffff
Some people are just so angry (fugly and nicegirl). Trying not to be rude here but I must say that nicegirls art work of her own hand drawn tats musn’t be her own if they are being compared to what Angelina has. I think AJ looks just fine and if she wants more, hey more power to her!
I guess you are always on the JJ staff congrats!
# 83 | CCCCi’d have to have a significant reason to get one. something like angie’s latitude & longitude or iman’s bowie knife. my bff got a jesus fish on her lower back which i think is cool. whatever i get, if i get anything, it’ll have to have deep meaning for me.
I wish I was brave enough to get a tatoo but I do hate the needles I think that I would faint, and worry about a reaction to the ink, I wonder what new tat Aj will get for the beautful angel baby, or if it will spirr Bp to get on now for the birth of his frist born
# 84 | Nick |ITA. LOL you read my mind. Trish is one stuck up snob if i ever heard of one.
Trish, I didn’t know gated communities had a No-Tat policy. How do they know? Do they conduct a strip search before you can buy a house there?
I’d copy her tattoos…who wouldn’t thier fucken tight… Have a nice weekend peeps!!!
Dear Trish, You’re "gated" village just called and said they lost their idiot. They want to know if you want the job.
# 80 | Steph And it´s not sunlike dear… You must be having a confusing moment now or maybe you´re confusing IPS…
I LOVE the photo of her in jean with her hair up and no shirt on…..It is just so SEXY!!
Ok, ‘Pol’ dear!Whatever
Your style of punctuation ´ not ‘ makes it clear. Can’t actually see IP’s but I know you have many, could ask Jared to check if I cared…I don’t!
I am so looking forward to seeing there family grow, I hope that BP and AJ have a dozen or more, They make such a great team, look fab togeather,
# 96 | kidi No-Tat policy, but I bet there’s a swingers club, a wifeswap club, a "book club," a DOWN-LOW club, a "wink…soccer moms club….wink" Only thing different about a gated community is the big price, and even bigger "closets."jpf
# 103 Original jpf—LOL–Touche! Yeah, I’ve heard of covenants about fences, dogs, house color, driveways–but personal body art? That’s a new one.
Lets see gated community is subur’s right? where you have to get in your hummmer and drive 20k to get some milk… am I right?
# 102 | Just Jared fan |She says they’re adopting next, but I will not be surprised if she’s not pregnant again first, and within the next yr. I just have a feeling they’re gonna have more bio babies than adopted. Hey, at least she’ll only need the lat & long once for all the bio baby’s if they’re all born in Namibia lol.jpf
Aj early Tatto on her left or right shoulder does any one know what it ment before she covered it with the Prayer/blessing
# 101 | Steph LMAO! Now you´re following people and comparing their "style of punctuation"? LOL! FYI, you were not the cited one on my post, but there clearly more wackos here!Muahhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Hey AG - Remember the Star article you were talking about on the other thread? Well, I was just at Wal-mart and read a couple of the tabs while I was waiting to check-out. I love it when the tabs contradict each other. According to Life & Style Brad has slowly been convincing Angie (since Namibia) to reconcile with her father for the sake of the kids. And that after watching his parents with their kids she’s re-thinking her relationship with her father and letting him meet the kids.They’re both probably lying, but it sure is funny when they contradict each other the same week.
Kiss my Grits POl !!!! A woman I worked with had a tat on her ear lobes has she said she had to talk the artist into doing it because her ear was already pierced… I must say it looks good,
Just kidding POl
(((((CHALLENGE ALERT)))))to all you fic writers posting and lurking. i have issued a challenge on EA and i’m doing it here now. gimme a good steamy fic on brad "discovering" angelina’s tattoos!
Fellow BAMZS Fans, talk to you all on Sunday. I am going to San Jose for the weekend and won’t be able to post. You all have a good weekend. Bye
# 55 | Trish she would never get into the gated community i live in"I’m pretty sure your precious "gated community" will be delighted to sell themselves to Jolie who can buy you off in a heartbeat. Thank goodness. But I have a feeling it’s a "gated community" as in a psych ward where Miss Trish is LOL
I’m also glad Trish is (was) such a close friend of Jacqueline Kennedy, and knows about her apparent aversion to tatoos. Is she trying to give us all pointers in etiquette and grooming? I admit I slouch at the computer and my fingernails could look a lot better. Who knew that JJ’s site could be like a pricey finishing school? Should we ask, What Would Princess Grace Do? before we blog?
she has way too many tattoos for a woman, it doesnt look good. i dont know if the huge one on her lower back is real, its not there in some pics, but it sure looks horrible. i also dont like the cross thing below her stomach, way too big. others are not so bad.
# 111 | Just Jared fan Lol! I know! Now, what some people are drinking is still beyond me! I guess that Steph poster has some major problem: the thinks she´s the center of a conspiration! LMAO!About the tats, does it hurt or not? I have a friend who swears to me it doesn´t!
i love this pic http://www.justjared.com/pictures/2006/07/angelina_jolie_tattoos/angelina-jolie-tattoos30.jpg if some one ha this pic bigger please put the link here beacouse i want to put it on my wallpaper lolshe is so pretty and beautiful angie is the prettiest women in the whole world! wish her the best she is a amazing women!
# 112 | gitane Hey gitane, I´m no writer but can I give you my suggestion as well? what about "discovering" by the traditional way? You know undressing the chick and all!
# 113 | Alexanderina | Have a safe weekend, Alex :)Trish–no, dear, that policy on tatoos is only for the staff. The patients like you can have as many tats as a sailor. After all, once you sign in, you can never leave.
#79 / Get a Grip HatersIsn’t that so sad? It just rubbishes everything else that society spend their worrying about. They are not married, they have children out of wedlock, she’s got tattoos….blah, blah blah…it’s all needless nitpicking.
I belive it hurts like a bicth……. I went with some friends the all said it killed and made some funny face durning the inking.
Oh yes what about the time brad had are angie howeling like wild
# 122 | Just Jared fan Damn it! I so wanted to get one! But I´d chicken myself when being laid there facing the needle! WTF is with my punctuation now? lol!
I was all in the tabloids about how every one was complaining about some wild animal makeing a howeling sound…. but it was comming from Aj and BPs hotel room I wonder if that was the frist time and thewe all got to hear about it ! ?;)Tee hee
# 116 | p.- too many tattoos for a women?I must have not been aware when the law on how many tattoos a woman can get was passed. Again, where was this rule written? Or is it some kind of unwritten rule that narrow-minded and judgemental people subscribe to? I don’t have a members card for that group.
# 125 | Just Jared fan I always wondered about that…I mean could it be the first time and they all got so turned on by their "first time" they woke up everyone around? And about that tiger on her lower back… oh man! imagine
