On the left side of her back, on her shoulder, Jolie has Khmer letters on her tattoo, a Chinese symbol (read “Death”). This tattoo is actually a prayer tattoo in honor of her son Maddox. According to Style Craze, this tattoo is supposed to protect him from bad luck. According to the report, it means, “Let the enemy run away from you!” If you get rich, let them always be yours. Your beauty will be like Apsara; “No matter where you go, many people will join in serving and protecting you around you.” According to Sak Yant Chiang Mai, the five lines have different meanings. The first row protects against unjust punishment, the second row deals with protection, the third row protects from curse, the fourth row symbolizes good luck, and the fifth row is the attainment of virtue.

One of Jolie’s biggest tattoos was when she got Yant Phutson Sak Yant and Yant ViHan Pha Chad Sada tattoos together on her back and spine. Tattoos are practiced in both Thailand and Cambodia (Khmer tattoos).

One of the top is Sakyan Phutson, a lofty and multi-purpose inscription. It is said to represent compassionate performance with good luck.

The lower part is also the Yard Cathedral, but it also seems to represent the elements of earth, water, air and fire.

Okay, a lot of people are wondering about this tattoo. If you look closely at this photo, you can see the soft letter “W” or “M;” But both are a tribute to her stepmother Marcheline Bertrand. However, Jolie confirmed that it was “W” in an article for the New York Times, she shared that the “W” on her hand represents the Rolling Stones “Winter” song. That reminds her of her stepmother. However, when it is returned, it may be the letter “M”, which is her mother’s first sign.

One of the first tattoos Jolie got was a Bengal Tiger on her back. At Vanity Fair, she received the tattoo in 2004 to commemorate her Cambodian nationality (and her commitment to wildlife conservation). It was done by Ajarn Noo Kanpai, who also blessed the tattoo. In addition, the tattoo covers the ancient dragon tattoo she did last year.
