Tattoos

Lena has a lot of tattoos, around 7-8, including a big back piece. She has talked about her tattoos in several interviews and you can read more detaily about it in the 'Suicide Girls – April 8, 2009' interview. Here is some quotes on her beloved body art:

"I personally love them. I find them charming and I feel that they're part of me. A lot of people don't like them, especially in the industry, but everybody has them now. I tell you, if you could find the perfect chemistry for covering up a tattoo, you'd be a billionaire."

"I like them all really. I've just had my back piece finished and I love that. It's a big piece on my back with peonies and swallows. It's got a lot of movement in it, and it's just something I'd always wanted to do. It goes from my lower back, it sort of curls around my womanly shapes, and then it just comes up around my shoulder."

"Yes the lotus tattoo is Tibetan . .... Always seeking to find some place of self acceptance ... Ha!! Our lifelong journey ... It's a fucking struggle .. But an interesting journey.I actually enjoy getting tattooed. Without sounding like a cheese ball .. I have found a state of peace unlike any other during a 7 hour session."

Right Arm



Unknown sign or word, seen in 1993/1994 when Lena was promoting The Jungle Book (1994). But it seems to be before she met Jason Flemyng or when the two recently met and I think she had this one at first.



Got her then boyfriend's name, Jason tattooed in Thai script on her arm and it stayed there untill they ended dating in 2001.



A butterfly and some small flowers to cover the previous Jason tattoo.



Got some more flowers and small signs added to the tattoo and it seems complete now.

Left Wrist



Lena is married to singer Peter Paul Loughran and she has his last name tattooed to her left wrist in an italic font.

Lower Arms



Got two small black stars inside of each her lower arms which she has said are for "protection".

Back



A lotus flower on her upper back and it's a symbolically important design in the East. It symbolizes rebirth, all that is true, good and beautiful, good fortune, peace and enlightenment.



This is a tribal piece on Lena's lower back and it's visable in Imagine Me & You (2005).



In 2008 we could see that Lena had gotten more tattoos on her back and as you can see it's a bird and some flowers that surrounds the lotus flower. When interviewed at the 'The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson' in September 12, 2008 she said; "I always wanted one and I rewarded myself after a job, it's a strange reward... I know." about having big tattoos on her back.



When Lena got photographed for the magazine 'Statement - December 2008' we got to see her whole back including the lower parts and it reveals even more tattooed flowers, which Lena has said is 'peonies and swallows'. These new flowers probably covers the tribal piece Lena had there before.

Right Foot



Some kind of flowers on her right foot with a little ribbon on it.
