Angelina Jolie has some new ink. She finally got some fresh ink to replace where she use to have Billy Bob’s name tattooed on her left shoulder. A Chinese dragon and Billy Bob Thornton’s name use to occupy the skin estate. She has replaced it with the coordinates of where all of her children were born.
I know her heart was in the right place with this new tattoo but she has to be a bit upset with the actual result. It looks like she is planning a prison break with all those letters and numbers…and did Maddox draw it on her arm?
But as the couple made their way down the festival’s famous Croisette in a chauffeur-driven car afterwards, the four-part scribing on her left shoulder was plainly visible.
Each line, it has emerged, represents the very international map coordinates detailing where their four children, three of which were adopted, were born.
From the top down, and from left to right, is the longitudinal and latitudinal location of Cambodia, where the Oscar-winning actress’ eldest son, Maddox, five, was born.
Next are the coordinates pertaining to Ethiopia, the country from which Miss Jolie plucked two-year-old Zahara.
Third on the list is Namibia, where the Tomb Raider star gave birth to her ten-month-old biological daughter, Shiloh, whose name in Hebrew means “the peaceful one”.
Last but not least is a reference to the latest addition to the couple’s rainbow family - Pax Thien, who is Vietnamese by origin.
Most of Angelina’s ink has a special meaning to her.
She already has a discreet M on the palm of her hand - a tribute to her mother, Marcheline Bertrand, who died earlier this year.
On top of this, she has a Buddhist Pali prayer written in the Khmer script for Maddox as well as a Tennessee Williams quote, “A prayer for the wild at heart kept in cages”.
Angelina Jolie’s new tattoos have been inscribed in the same spot where a tribute to her ex-husband Billy Bob Thronton once lay.
His name was tattooed onto her left arm along with a Chinese dragon - the remnants of which are still faintly visible even after laser removal surgery.
Lover Brad Pitt has received new ink recently as well. The question becomes will these two ever ink a marriage contract together?
For months the couple have been preparing to find a sibling for Maddox, 5, Zahara, 2, and 10-month-old Shiloh, a “process that began shortly after Shiloh was born [in May],” a source tells PEOPLE in its new issue.
