40+ Actors Who Got Tattoos for Movies and TV Shows

Can you believe the commitment?

Although tattoos were shunned upon by Hollywood for years, the industry is opening up a bit. There are plenty of actors who’ve gotten tattooed and for several of them, they commemorated a film or television role with a tiny (or in select cases, huge) tattoo. In most instances, actors got small, easily hidden tattoos after or sometime during filming. But for one eccentric entertainer, they got a full chest piece for a single movie role. Take a peek at 40+ actors who got tattooed for movies and television shows in the gallery below, then let us know your thoughts on this story in the comments section on social media.

Shia Labeouf

It was recently revealed that Shia Labeouf tattooed his entire chest for a new movie called “The Tax Collector.” Now that’s a new level of dedication.
