The story of the tattoos that are draped on the body of box office hitmaker and baby mama Angelina Jolie are a story in themselves, but this week one artist is spilling on a session with Jolie that was a bit girly. It doesn't include Brad Pitt but there is a bit on Angie's former husband Billy Bob Thornton and Jolie's tan lines.
According to a Life & Style Weekly report, "famed celebrity tattoo artist Friday Jones - who once gave Angelina Jolie a tat in a very private place - is opening Friday Jones Fifth Avenue at Senses NY Salon & Spa on June 16."
She spoke with the magazine. "I always thought we could have a more serene, spiritually driven approach to tattooing," Friday, who notes that Angelina was one of her inspirations for the posh-parlor concept, tells Life & Style. "I met Angie right around 2000. She was this edgy, avant-garde girl. She would pull up to the house and say, 'I'm jonesing for a tattoo - you have to tattoo me.' And we're up in the house in the Hollywood Hills, she has her little glass of wine, it's very calm. It's a good atmosphere to stretch out and feel like girls."
But the item notes when Angelina, 34, asked Friday to mark her with the name of then-lover Billy Bob Thornton, Friday did have some reservations, she admits. "I was like, 'I'm not going to put that man's name on you,'" she says. "Eventually, after about two or three weeks of her coming over every day, I broke down. We put his name very delicately on her bikini line." Angelina Jolie had the cross tattoo done the day before she married Johnny Lee Miller in 1995. In her own words: "It was all symbolic, and it was a good thing, nothing dark." One of her latest tattoos is on her inner thigh done... "Um, it's for Brad".
