  • miriad, on 04/25/2008, -10/+1That's an interesting collection!
    • lazyrussian, on 04/25/2008, -1/+2I'm surprised the girl from Hitman isn't on that list. That was a hott tattoo on her face.
  • Robcataus, on 04/25/2008, -26/+0The incredible part is that most of those tattoos were real, only to be removed after the filming process was over.
    • dullnation, on 04/25/2008, -0/+7An incredible lie!
    • Llanowar, on 04/25/2008, -0/+12I really hope for the sake of your intelligence that you were making an attempt at a joke.
    • bloodomen13, on 04/25/2008, -0/+1oh.my.god.
  • Joest23, on 04/25/2008, -0/+40Viggo from Eastern Promises would rip out your throat and strangle you with your scrotum. That's how bad-ass he is.
    • ohhoe, on 04/25/2008, -0/+9All while naked.
    • Mikhail101, on 04/25/2008, -1/+2Haha that seriously made me rofl im not kidding.
      • wellyuk, on 04/25/2008, -0/+4You rolled about on the floor, laughing? I'm not sure I believe you. Physically rolled about?
    • midbc, on 04/25/2008, -0/+7yeah how do you seriously fight a guy while trying to avoid his junk
      • diggduggDOOM, on 04/25/2008, -0/+1If you're fighting the guy, why are you avoiding his junk? Fight dirty 'cause he clearly is.
  • Llanowar, on 04/25/2008, -19/+8Bad bad website, it only supports IE, FF and Safari
    I thought there were still plenty of Opera users.


    Edit: Hmm, after an accidental second click it suddenly does work.
    • BriVaps, on 04/25/2008, -3/+3nerd
    • debuggercll, on 04/25/2008, -2/+3I agree. It gave me that message too, but because I'm using Linux.
      • sevenslashfour, on 04/25/2008, -1/+1I'm going to assume you meant "because you're using Firefox 3," which came packaged with Ubuntu 8.04 yesterday.

        Not being a jerk; just the most plausible connection I could make. I'm using Ubuntu and FF3, too, and it gave me that message. Does work after a second click, though, as Llanowar said.
    • linkinpark342, on 04/25/2008, -0/+2Apparently it doesn't work for Firefox 3.0 either...
    • Changa, on 04/25/2008, -0/+1It worked in opera even though they told me to "Upgrade."

      Annoying wording.
  • Guinnessdsu, on 04/25/2008, -1/+4How bout Dee Snyder in Strangeland? That ***** gave me nightmares.
    • marx2k, on 04/25/2008, -0/+11What, Snyder's face? It's like a horse caught in the middle of vomiting.
    • debuggercll, on 04/25/2008, -0/+4That nightmare gave me *****.
  • bag2p, on 04/25/2008, -0/+7Deniro is a frightening man.
  • seanmx, on 04/25/2008, -0/+58What about Brad Pitt in Snatch
  • Willravel, on 04/25/2008, -5/+3Dugg for Starbuck!
  • KBiscuit, on 04/25/2008, -1/+38I had been meaning to practice my clicking "next" skills...
    • MadHarvey, on 04/25/2008, -3/+0yeah! this one was extra difficult because each click brought up a pop up! I was just starting to feel excitement wearing off for slide show articles, but they have found a way to make it interesting and challenging again!
    • sgtpppr, on 04/25/2008, -0/+222 pages for 22 small pictures...gotta get that CPM up.
  • Klak, on 04/25/2008, -4/+85twenty. two. *****. pages. buried.
    • beloitpiper, on 04/25/2008, -0/+4It's like they took every character who has ever been tattooed. Narrow it down a bit, assholes.
      • Klak, on 04/25/2008, -0/+5not even that, just put ,like, at least 5 per page and it wouldnt be that bad.
    • endlessoul, on 04/25/2008, -0/+7Actually, it's 21 pages of "content". The 22nd is an advertisement. Pathetic.
    • antdude, on 04/25/2008, -0/+1Not even a single page/print page!
  • sreynolds148, on 04/25/2008, -0/+33What about the McManus brothers in The Boondock Saints?
  • wavesmachine, on 04/25/2008, -0/+47Where's Ralph Fiennes in Red Dragon?
    • Mjuboy, on 04/25/2008, -0/+3I was thinking the same thing too.

      The list misses quite a few epic tattoos.
    • VossBC, on 04/25/2008, -0/+1I agree, big oversight there
    • tiny40505, on 04/25/2008, -0/+3I was going to comment on that if it wasn't already. That tatt is one of the best.
    • sgtpppr, on 04/25/2008, -1/+1Best. Tattoo. Ever.
    • fadetoone, on 04/25/2008, -1/+1Yeah, EA can ***** off. Buried for lack of the dragon.
  • Daeger, on 04/25/2008, -1/+1How the hell did Justin Crowe from Carnivale not make the list?
  • nunyabuizness, on 04/25/2008, -3/+3what about the guy from red dragon?
  • DeadlyCouncil, on 04/25/2008, -1/+2Viggo's ink in Eastern Promises was so awesome, great flick that one.
  • Foenetik, on 04/25/2008, -1/+5Eric Bana in Chopper?!?!
    • kelsosmythe, on 04/25/2008, -0/+0I was thinking the same thing
    • Owwmykneecap, on 04/25/2008, -0/+1Looks like he's done himself a Mischief, officer.
  • cerealjynx, on 04/25/2008, -1/+40God dammit, all that clicking, thinking they saved the best for last, and there is no image 22. My only closure is a midget. :(
  • mytibt, on 04/25/2008, -1/+0I forgot how ripped De Niro was in Cape Fear! Great scene of him under the car
  • W00DR0W, on 04/25/2008, -1/+36Where the hell is Red Dragon? They got Pamela Anderson on for a generic barbed-wire tattoo but they don't have Red Dragon?
    • Jonjonr6, on 04/26/2008, -0/+1I didn't understand why the writer made a jab at readers having barbed wire tats, but then put in several people who had only a barbed wire tat.
  • okbobby, on 04/25/2008, -3/+0Milla Jovovich, Ultraviolet, tattoos on her fingers
  • over900000, on 04/25/2008, -5/+2So are these like real tattoos or fake ones?
    • milkmage, on 04/25/2008, -0/+6are you like stupid or kidding?
      • uracre, on 04/26/2008, -0/+1He is one of those guys who gave rugby fans and players a bad reputation. Not too bright unfortunately.
  • jstem1994, on 04/25/2008, -1/+2I was expecting best tattooed "characters", on someone else. Like Timmy tattooed on a biker's arm.
  • p014k, on 04/25/2008, -1/+3Where are the Boondock Saint Brothers?
  • Kati8303, on 04/25/2008, -2/+2Who forgot the boondock saints?
  • secrity, on 04/25/2008, -2/+10Bastards don't like Opera browser or Linux
    • mokodo, on 04/25/2008, -3/+1try again....
      • secrity, on 04/26/2008, -0/+1Why? Did you fix it?
        • fuckloginskevin, on 04/26/2008, -2/+0Linux/Firefox here and it worked for me, didn't even have to enable javascript. You fail sir.
          • secrity, on 04/28/2008, -0/+1I did not say that I couldn't get it to work, I said that the "Bastards don't like Opera browser or Linux"
            Following is the screen I received when using Opera under Linux.

            There us no mention of any version of Opera or Linux that would "meet the necessary requirements for viewing EW.com"

            Sure, I could click through, but they claim that "some of our content may be inaccessible or display improperly."

  • Mikhail101, on 04/25/2008, -4/+2Interesting, is that how barbed wired tatoos started?
  • A11YND, on 04/25/2008, -0/+7The funny thing is they counted some tattoos that you don't even see on the screen unless your paying attention.
    Woody Woodpecker in Raising Arizona but no Red Dragon!?
  • gin613, on 04/25/2008, -0/+7Entertainment Weekly makes for a horrible acronym
    • Taciturn, on 04/25/2008, -0/+4I don't know, I think it's pretty accurate.
    • beloitpiper, on 04/25/2008, -1/+2I think it's pretty fitting.
  • GREEDOnvrFIRED, on 04/25/2008, -0/+5Well they got one wrong.
    "Simple but eloquent, the fun-loving, trouble-making Woody Woodpecker on the arm of Cage's hapless, well-meaning petty criminal-turned-baby snatcher H.I. McDunnough ..."
    That ain't no Woody Woodpecker. That my friend is the THRUSH LOGO.

  • 1iProd, on 04/25/2008, -0/+2No Dwayne Johnson in Southland Tales as Boxer Santaros, with every freaking religious symbol tatooed all over him??
  • Demise, on 04/25/2008, -0/+6"Chances are they've got better ink than your barbwire around the arm."

    Its funny you say that because a lot of those people had ***** barbwire tattoos or just as bad dumb ass tribal tattoos.
  • krsone2424, on 04/25/2008, -0/+1dugg for "Fantasy Island"
  • gonegirlgone, on 04/25/2008, -0/+7"That tattoo is Buddhist. That one is Nordic. That one is Hindu. That one is Roman. They're all completely conflicting ideologies. And having them doesn't make you a citizen of the world. It makes you full of *****."
  • MinustheBear, on 04/25/2008, -0/+0List could have been cut down by almost half, or replaced them with better examples.
