Tattooed Love Boy

A partial listing of Depp tattoos.

Johnny is rumored to have 12 tattoos, among them are: his famous ÒWinona ForeverÓ thatÕs been shortened to ÒWino Forever,Ó and an Indian head on his right arm. On his left bicep is a heart with MomÕs name in it, ÒBetty Sue,Ó and an inverted triangle. There is a 'Brave' doodle on his right forearm and a skull with crossbones on his right ankle. On his left hand is a symbol that represents a 3. He pays homage to daughter Lily Rose on his chest above his heart and inks out a proper place for Jack on his right forearm. He has a question mark on one leg and a skull (that may say ÔDeath CertainÕ or ÔCertain DeathÕ) on the other. On his index finger he is rumored to have three boxes, because Ôhe likes to draw them.Õ

Johnny has found a sense of peace and what heÕd been searching for for so many years through his love, singer/actress Vanessa Paradis, who, at the time of this writing, have been an item for six years, living together in a villa in the South of France. Daughter Lily-Rose Melody Depp was born in a hospital near Paris on May 27, 1999. Son Jack Christopher Depp III followed on April 9, 2002.
