Tattoos have found their way to popular culture and are regarded rather mainstream these days, and are common to both men and women across age groups and backgrounds. To the wearer, tattoos have a personal, symbolic, aesthetic, ethnic, cultural, or even spiritual meaning.
The tattoo is a statement of their individuality and personality. Every tattoo is personal, and only the person who has the tattoo can tell you the reason for the particular design or what it means to them.
We already made a list of the top 10 female celebrity tattoos; now it’s time for the top 10 male celebrity tattoos. Honestly, it was more difficult to find male celebrity tattoos, which surprised us. Obviously, women are more obsessed with body art than men. Interesting.
Take a look at this list and tell us what do you think about their tattoos. Do you like them?

One of Eminem’s tattoos is on his left shoulder. He got this tattoo as a mark of respect for his uncle”Ronnie Pilkington,” who committed suicide back in 1991. Eminem was much closer to his uncle, who first introduced him to Hip Hop, than anyone else in his family and often includes uncle Ronnie in some of his lyrics. This tattoo is very artistic; it is related to the ghetto life in Detroit. You can see a huge mushroom along with buildings and the eye of a whore.
10. Kobe Bryant’s Tattoos
Apparently, Kobe’s crown tattoo on his upper arm doesn’t have anything to do with him being the basketball king. That’s good because he’s not the king of the NBA anymore, even if he was at one time. He was definitely crowned champion 5 times, but you can’t give him all the credit for that because LA has had some great teams.
