Actress and model Megan Fox is one of the most sensational figures in Hollywood. She had her first breakthrough in 2007 with the role of Mikaela Banes in the blockbuster action film ‘Transformers‘. Apart from being passionate about acting, she has an inclination toward tattoos. Both Fox and her fiancé, Machine Gun Kelly, even got matching inks.
The 36-year-old actress got her first tattoo when she was 18 years old. Fox has since made a collection of tattoos she is proud of. Her bold inks, often with literary and symbolic meanings, have made many public appearances. Here’s a detailed look into the ‘Jennifer’s Body,’ actress’ tattoos.

The Marilyn Monroe Tattoo On Her Forearm
Megan got a tattoo of the portrait of Marilyn Monroe soon after she wrapped her blockbuster movie, ‘Transformers.‘ The inspiration behind getting the late actress inked on herself was more like a cautionary tale and a reminder to not let the film industry treat you so badly that it breaks you down. She also told The New York Times, “I’ve always liked her and, like I said, been intrigued by her because she created a character that she lived behind. So she was always playing a character within a character in all of her movies. I think the psychology behind that is very interesting.” However, she got it removed in 2011. The reason she shared was, “It is a negative character, as she suffered from personality disorders and was bipolar. I do not want to attract this kind of negative energy in my life.”
Chinese Symbol
On the back of her neck, Fox has a Chinese symbol tattooed, which means strength. She usually wears her hair down, but on lucky occasions when her hair is tied up, her tattoo can be spotted.

Megan Fox Loves This Shakespearian Quote
The actress has gotten a Shakespearian quote tattooed on the back of her right shoulder. It reads, “We will all laugh at gilded butterflies,” from his 1606 play ‘King Lear,’ although these aren’t the exact lines the dramatist wrote. The original lines read, “So we’ll live, and pray, and sing, and tell old tales, and laugh at gilded butterflies.” The lines that Fox got inked mean that appearances might be beautiful, but they may not have any depth or purpose. It can also mean that something appearing nice may actually be less than we expect it to be in terms of their experience. A celebrity’s life might seem perfect and in the right direction, but in reality, they too have problems, difficulties, and insecurities, just like everyone.
A Yin-Yang Tattoo
On the inside of her wrist is a black tattoo resembling the yin-yang symbol. It also looks like thick circular waves. Fox has never really talked about this tattoo, and it is also not known when she got it inked. A yin-yang symbol represents the interconnectedness of the world, interrelatedness, and everything exists in the seed of its oppositions. In easier words, there can be no positive without a negative, there can be no light without dark.
Crescent Moon Entwined With A Star
On the inside of Megan’s ankle sits a blue-coloured star tattoo with a crescent moon on it. Just like many of her tattoos, Fox hasn’t made any comments about this one as well. However, it is widely known that Megan is deep into astrology. On ‘Give Them Lala … With Randall’, she talked about how she read Machine Gun Kelly’s entire chart. “I asked him to come into my trailer for lunch, and I put him through all of this astrology stuff. I went deep right away. I knew before I even did his chart, I said to him, he has a Pisces moon. I could tell by his energy,” Fox shared.

Friedrich Nietzsche quote
On her lower back, Fox has got the philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche’s words tattooed. It reads, “And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music.” Fox talked about the tattoo on MTV and said, “I have a tattoo that is a Nietzsche quote that sort of basically is about marching to the beat of your own drummer and not being afraid to do that.” Megan also talked about how it reminds her of his ‘Passion Play,’ co-star, Mickey Rourke. “I was saying that it reminds me of Mickey, of course, because he clearly is not marching to anyone else’s drummer, drumbeat, and that’s all,” she added.
