Tattooed celeb of the week - Johnny Depp
![]()
Johnny Depp is the epitome of cool. His tattoos only add to his persona. He started getting tattooed at the age of 17 and has gotten tattooed at significant points in his life. He has also been quoted as saying his body is like a journal.

He tattooed “Winona Forever” on his right arm and when Winona Ryder called off their engagment in 1993 he had the tattoo changed to read “Wino Forever”. Also on his right arm is an image of a Cherokee Indian chief symbolic of Johnny’s Cherokee heritage. His tattoos were covered by costumes or strategically smudged dirt in “Pirates of the Caribbean”. The sparrow on his arm in “Pirates Of the Caribbean Curse of the Black Pearl” was fake and it was positioned flying away from him. After the movie he got a real one tattooed this one flying towards him and the name Jack dedicated to his son.
The artist credited with half of johnny’s work is Jonathan Shaw out of New York (funcitytattoo.com). Read more about Johnny Depp’s tattoos at johnnydepp-zone.com/bodyart.

You might be interested to know that Disney has licensed out special edition tattoo shirts with YellowMan.com for the upcoming Pirates of the Caribbean movie “At World’s End”. These shirts are designed by the world’s top tattoo artists. On top of the POC tattoo shirt series available to the public, Johnny Depp and cast will be getting their own private tattoo shirts - not available to the public. I have personally seen a lot of these shirts, and I have to say they are AWESOME! You can see them at http://www.yellowman.com
