Meaning and photos of Tom Hardy tattoos

Hardy's chest tattoo

The left side of the actor's chest is adorned with tattoos of masks. They express different emotions. The essence of the tattoos is explained by the added inscription: "Laugh now, cry later.". It is believed that such a tattoo is inherent in people of art.

The flag of Britain, on the right side of his chest, shows Tom's patriotism. Tattoo artist Brian Glatiotis did the tattoo. The actor described him as an artist with a needle.

Movies about Mad Max and the dark knight brought the actor a resounding success. A tattoo of a raven, with a bat inside, he tattooed right after them. The tattoo is located just below the raven.

Above the mask tattoo are the numbers 1338046. With this he paid tribute to his friend Patrick's father. Such figures were on a badge of a marine. By the actor's own admission, he expresses his gratitude to his comrade.

On his belly, on the right side, another inscription: "Till I Die SW.". It was imposed shortly after his divorce from his first wife Sarah Weard. The actor considers this tattoo a mistake. Perhaps he considers their separation after five years of marriage a mistake.

Supposedly, the letter "W" is tattooed after the same Sarah. Her last name begins with that letter.

Tattoos on other skin areas

Tom Hardy's other tattoos are no less interesting. Some are even more colorful than his chest tattoos.

Leprechaun

Young Tom at the age of 15 got his first tattoo. Lepricone took a place on the forearm of his right hand. These creatures occupy a major place in Irish folklore. The creature is a symbol of success. In addition, it refers to the Irish roots on his mother's side.

The leprechaun tattoo is surrounded by a Celtic ornament. The design is done in green tones, which is also inherent to Ireland. Such tattoos are common for people of a young age.

Star

With the image of a star, the actor marked his first paternity. The words, pecked on his neck and right shoulder, are devoted to his son:

• "Proud father."
• "My most beautiful son."
• The initials LH.

Mother of God.

The Virgin Mary and star tattoo appeared on Tom's left shoulder shortly after he learned of Rachel Speed's pregnancy. Son Louie was born as a result of a romantic relationship with her. The baby's date of birth is tattooed underneath the picture.

Hometown.

The London skyline is tattooed below the shoulder of his left arm. This, too, is part of Tom's patriotism. He was born in the Hammersmith area of London.

Lindy King.

The actor's agent, Lindy King, did a lot for him. Early in his career, Tom promised Linda he would get a tattoo in her honor if she would help him pursue a career in Hollywood. He did not renege on his words. Linda King's name appeared next to an image of a dragon.

Wolf, crow, heart.

Along the inside of her forearm are depictions of:

• wolf;
• a raven;
• a holy heart.

The actor considers these animals important to him, and he keeps his heart up his sleeve. Perhaps Tom's tattoo was inspired by the movie "The Legend of Hugh Glass".

Dragon

The photo of Tom Hardy's tattoo on the inside of his left shoulder shows a menacing dragon peeking out. It is also dedicated to the actor's first wife, Sarah, who was born under the dragon sign. Tom with such a tattoo recognizes his ex-spouse's power and desire for primacy in all areas of life.

Feather

The bicep of his right arm is adorned with an image of a hand with a feather. The reason for this tattoo was the production of The Long Red Road. He also dedicated it to his loyal girlfriend Kelly Marcelle.

Beloved Girlfriend.

In honor of his girlfriend Charlotte, Tom tattooed an image of her on his left side. Only it's not clear whether she's asleep or flying over London.

The result of the argument.

The words "Leo knows everything" are tattooed on Tom's right bicep. They were the result of an argument between the actor and DiCaprio. He expressed his confidence that Hardy will be nominated for an Oscar. And so it turned out.

Scorpio .

There is a very large scorpion crawling on Tom's back. This arthropod has a dual nature. The tattoo depicting it is not simple either. The scorpion has:

• loyalty;
• truthfulness;
• courage;
• death;
• treachery.

What connects the actor with the scorpion is a secret. He doesn't talk about it.

Each tattoo of Tom Hardy speaks of his emotions, is a reflection of the secrets of his soul. Expressing himself through a tattoo accompanies the actor throughout his life, like a map of his destiny.
