Ryan Gosling tattoos - meaning, location, photos
Ryan Gosling is an actor and musician. The Canadian native has been nominated for an Oscar twice. He was also awarded the Sputnik Award and the National Council of Film Critics Award. Since 2008, he has co-founded the musical group Dead Man's Bones. The actor is fond of tattoo art. He even has one of his own images tattooed on his body.. True, it did not turn out very well. According to him, he likes unsuccessful tattoos. But in this case, it's a good game with a bad one.
Ryan's tattoos
Gosling has several tattoos. He believes that the pictures on the body should not be important to the owner. Otherwise, there may be a chance that you will hate them. The other option is no better, a tattoo can be a source of fun, although the subject matter can be serious.
Book Cover Tattoo
The very first Ryan Gosling tattoo is tattooed on his left shoulder. It has a certain meaning. It's a drawing from a book cover. The one his mother read to him as a child. It's called "The Generous Tree." Some say the tattoo reminds him of a happier time in his childhood. Back then, the family was full and happy. The parents lived together, there was a little sister.
Meanwhile, in an interview in Cannes, Ryan spoke about the book in a negative way. The ending of the story doesn't seem positive to him. As generous a tree as it is, it too has its own lifespan. Eventually it will fall from old age. For some reason, Gosling compares himself to a tree, not a boy. He does not want to become a fallen tree. From this we can conclude that the book is not loved by him. And he got the tattoo to always remember the finiteness of the tree's life cycle.
The hidden tattoo.
Ryan Gosling's second tattoo is in a place where it's hard to see. An ephemeral lady sitting on a skeleton hides almost in the armpit of his left arm. Generally speaking, ghosts, skeletons are his style. So does this particular image make sense?
The girl depicted on the tattoo is not fictional. That famous actress Ted Bara. She was called the sex symbol of the silent film era.
Why the actor settled on this image is unknown. He does not give any comments.
Self-made tattoo
The third tattoo Ryan tattooed himself. It is located on the forearm of his left hand. The author thought he had tattooed a monster arm, but the result is something resembling a cactus. You can only see the resemblance to the hairy arm when you zoom in. According to the author's idea, the monster's hand is supposed to tear its own arm into blood.
There are three letters next to the hand: "W.H.R.". It stands for Werewolf Heart Records. That is the name of one of the parts of the band's first album.
Tattoo bracelet
Gosling's fourth tattoo is a regular bracelet. If there's anything special about it, like a bar code, it's hard to know. The tattooed bracelet is always under the watch.
Esme Tattoo.
Gosling's fifth tattoo is also very clear. It is the name of one of his daughters. The full name sounds "Esmeralda." An abbreviated version is tattooed on the fingers of the left hand.
As a result, all of the actor's tattoos are meaningful. Though he claims otherwise. There is reason to think that Ryan does not want to show weakness. It seems to him that drawing on the body for the sake of memories that evoke some emotion is not manly. Given his words that older men look cool with tattoos, there's a possibility of seeing new tattoos on his body.
