Johnny Depp got his first tattoo at the age of seventeen. Each tattoo marks a important thing in his life, a person, an event, or an idea. As Johnny explained, his body tells a story in a way. rnrnAs of last count, Johnny has 12 known markings on his body. He maybe has more but only these twelve are the ones recorded. rnrnListed below are his tattoos in no special order: rnrnA swallow over a sunset with Jack tattooed underneath. While he was filming one of his most celebrated movies, Pirates of the Caribbean, he had to wear a fake version of these tattoos. He liked it so much that he had them permanently inked on his right forearm. Contrary to what people may have assumed, Jack is in honor of his son, and not his character Jack Sparrow. He also had the swallow tattoo inverted so that it is flying towards him. As he stated in one of his interviews in 2004, he always wants his son to come back to him. rnrnThe inscription Lily Rose. Found over Johnnys heart, the script honors his daughter Lily Rose. rnrnHeart and Betty Sue.

Johnny claims to be the only one who knows exactly what that saying means. rnrnQuestion Mark (?). On the right inside leg, over Johnnys ankle is a question mark tattoo. rnrnSilence Exile Cunning.
