Celebrities do some things particularly well, and though fashion and vacations are top of mind, we also know them to be exceptionally skilled at leaving their mark. We're about to showcase all the celebrity statement-makers that have staying power . . . of the permanent variety. Because it's difficult to keep track of all the fresh ink in Tinseltown, we've narrowed the selection down. Up ahead, see all the tattoos that get our stamp of approval. But look fast; the next batch will be here before you can say "epidermis."
