Tattoos

Jessica Alba is making sure her daughter, Honor Warren, takes a piece of mom with her to college ... with the two permanently cementing their bond before the teen heads off to Yale ... thanks to some fresh ink.

Jessica and her 18-year-old daughter got matching tattoos on their wrists -- each sporting an eye design with an infinity symbol underneath.

Celebrity tattoo artist Daniel "Winterstone" Winter did the honors ... sharing shots of the mother-daughter ink session on social media and calling it an unforgettable experience they'll share forever.

Nancy Mace is sending out thoughts and prayers to those social media users allergic to ink -- her ink specifically ... blasting everyone offended by her tattoos.

The Congresswoman took to X on Monday to mock the uproar regarding her tattoos after she showed off her body art on her YouTube Show "Get Maced" over the weekend.

She wrote, "Thoughts and prayers to all those affected by my sleeves. Made the mistake of opening my social media this afternoon. Some of yall are OUT OF CONTROL. My biceps should NOT be a news story. We have more important things to worry about. Goodness. And God Bless America."

Nancy Mace's political career is almost out of ink ... but her arms are anything but.

The outgoing South Carolina congresswoman ditched the sleeves to promote her new YouTube show, "Get Maced" -- revealing both arms are loaded with tattoos she had somehow kept almost completely under wraps.

And this isn't one dainty piece peeking out from her wrist ... Mace's arms are covered, giving the buttoned-up politician a look few voters probably had on their bingo cards.

It's National Tattoo Day -- yes, that's a thing -- and Hollywood is awash with celebs who have made their skin into a canvas.

Put those celeb skills to the test and see if you can score who's flesh is who!!!

Hit the gallery ... these stars are inked and proud! Famous faces like Kehlani, Peggy Gou, and Scotty Sire wear their hearts on their sleeves 😘

And Justin Bieber and Halsey are known for their beauty marks, but can you pick 'em out of our fresh line-up?

Greg James -- the legendary tattoo artist whose work appeared on Ozzy Osbourne, members of Mötley Crüe and countless other rock stars -- has died, TMZ has learned.

The Sunset Strip Tattoo founder's family tells TMZ he passed away Thursday in North Carolina. His cause of death is unknown at this time.

Over the years, Greg became one of the most recognizable names in the tattoo world, earning the trust of some of rock's biggest icons, including Joan Jett, Buckcherry members, and more.

Rihanna's got some fresh ink ... and it was inspired by her kids.

RiRi took a piece of paper with some scribbles her young children made and brought it to a tattoo artist, who recreated the childhood artwork and inked it on the back of her knee.

It looks like the kids took some red, brown, orange, yellow, green, purple, black and blue markers and drew lines all over the paper ... but Rihanna's tattoo is just black ink.

Teddy Swims says he had a blast at Coachella ... but, he didn't enjoy his body being blasted by the sun -- telling us he's got a nasty sunburn from back-to-back weekends in the desert.

We caught up with Teddy at LAX on Friday ... and, we asked him how he's doing after twice rocking the Coachella stage earlier this month.

Swims says his skin isn't loving all the time in Coachella Valley ... but notes he'll just have to tough it out -- after all, he's headed to Stagecoach, the major country music festival, Friday.

TS says he doesn't know which festival is better -- he's never been to Stagecoach -- but, he looks forward to figuring it out.

Chase Stokes just added some fresh ink to his collection of tattoos ... and the meaning behind his latest piece suggests he’s moving on after his recent split from Kelsea Ballerini, according to his tattoo artist.

Celebrity tattoo artist Winterstone -- the man behind the scripted piece -- tells us Chase recently stopped by his studio to catch up and get a few tattoos ... though there’s only one the actor wanted to share publicly.

The "Outer Banks" star's clean tat reads “they will judge us by our fruit" -- a line inspired by a Bible verse -- and is placed strategically on his back. We're told Chase chose this phrase as a reminder while he "moves forward" in life. According to Winterstone, Chase said he’s feeling good and enlightened about where things are currently.

Blueface's mother, Karlissa Saffold Harvey, is praying that his new GF Nevaeh develops some common sense dealing with her son -- after spelling his name wrong in her brand new neck tattoo!!!

Nevaeh debuted the signature ink last night on IG during some NC-17 time with her boo ... only problem is that she forgot the "H" in Blueface's government name, Johnathan!!!

According to Karlissa, her son's name has a holy connotation ... fashioned after Bible verse John 3:16, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life."

Karlissa says she gave her son life with an "H" attached to his name and clowned away in her IG comments with her followers.

Grimes' tattoo is a bold move -- one ya gotta make to shock people with tattoos these days ... so says a celebrity tat artist who has been around the block a time or two.

We caught up with Mark Mahoney -- a pro who's been practicing his craft for nearly five decades -- and we showed him Grimes' new controversial tattoo ... which is basically a big red circle that looks almost like a scar around her eye.

Mark -- who has tattooed stars like David Beckham, Lady Gaga and more -- says even a small tattoo on the arm used to shock old ladies at the store ... but, in today's culture, shock from tattoo is reserved for the wild and crazier ideas -- which he thinks might be the reason Grimes decided on this design.

Grimes is showing off her new ink ... a fresh tattoo on her face.

Check it out -- the Canadian musician, whose real name is Claire Boucher -- proudly posted her brand new design on Instagram Wednesday, gushing to fans she spent a decade "emotionally working up to a face tattoo."

The unique tat is a reddish-brown circle that wraps around part of her left eye and the side of her face. It almost resembles a birthmark ... and Grimes mentioned her parents didn't even notice her new piece of art, reasoning ... "I guess I drew on my face too much."

Emilie and Brady Kiser just got inked ... and their tats have a special meaning for their son Theodore.

Check out this post from Sydney Smith, the co-owner of Syzygy Precision Tattooing in Arizona ... she documented the process of giving them each a fine-line teddy bear tattoo on their forearms.

The tattoos are reportedly a tribute to Emilie and Brady's 6-month-old Theodore, whom they nicknamed Teddy.

Happy Mancrush Monday ... Kick off the week with this shirtless stud who had no shame in boasting his tattoo game on social media ... Can you guess who he is?

At just 23 years old, he's acquired quite the following -- 4.5 million Instagram followers and 15.1 million TikTok followers!

Singer D4vd has a tattoo on his finger with the letters "Shhh..." -- and the young girl's body found in his Tesla has the same tattoo on her finger.

As TMZ reported, the body has now been identified as 15-year-old Celeste Rivas. Authorities said she had a tattoo on her right index finger with the letters "Shhh..." David's tattoo is also on his right index finger.

TMZ spoke with Celeste's mom last week, and she told us about her daughter's tattoo, adding it was in red ink. The mom said Celeste had been missing for more than a year, but she was suspicious of the Tesla discovery because she said Celeste's boyfriend's name was David.
