Fox has eight known tattoos, including her ex-fiance name “Brian” on her lower hip and a picture of Marilyn Monroe’s face on her right forearm. Fox also has another tattoo on her right shoulder that reads, “We will all laugh at gilded butterflies” a line adapted from William Shakespeare’s play King Lear, a yin and yang tattoo on her left inner wrist, a poem on the left side of her rib cage that reads “there once was a little girl who never knew love until a boy broke her HEART,” and a Chinese word for “strength” on her neck.Fox also has a crescent moon overlapping a five pointed star on the inner aspect of her lower leg above her right ankle. This tattoo is the only known colored tattoo that Fox has.
Fox said she has a Marilyn Monroe tattoo because, “she was one of the first people I saw on television, like, literally moments after I was born. Every time I heard her voice growing up I always would cry. I wouldn’t know why when I was younger but had my own theories” and that Fox has always “empathized” with her. Fox had shown interest in getting her yin/yang tattoo remarking that the tattoo artist “didn’t do it correctly” because he was distracted, however, Fox still has that tattoo as of August, 2009. Fox has said of her tattoos that when she gets a tattoo that “It’s a little ‘fuck you’ to anyone who tells me not to.”
In late May, 2009 when Fox was at John F. Kennedy International Airport, she told paparazzi that she planned to get another tattoo, which confirmed previous plans to get a sleeve tattoo on her right arm. It was widely reported that Fox and her mother, Darlene, had come to a strong disagreement and argued over Fox’s tattoos in general, but particularly Fox’s plan for a sleeve tattoo. Fox’s mother Darlene had said that she has never understood Fox’s interest in tattoos. The National Enquirer reported that after each new tattoo Fox got, Darlene pleaded with Fox not to get anymore. She felt that when Fox is a “40-year-old woman wanting to play more mature roles, people wonӴ hire her because it will be too hard to cover her tattoos.
