Brad Pitt tattooed a prayer on his back to protect Maddox.
Brad Pitt has allegedly tattooed a prayer on his back to protect his adopted son Maddox.
Pitt’s getting a slow start on his current girlfriend, the sultry Angelina Jolie, who is infamously adorned with about a dozen works of body art. His tattoo, which reportedly sits on his strapping lower back, is said to be a Sanskrit blessing of protection for his and Jolie’s four-year-old son. Jolie had a similar tattoo inked into her shoulder shortly after she adopted Maddox. “I asked for it to be done in Buddhist Sanskrit, which is part of [Maddox’s] history,” said Jolie at the time.
“A tattoo is something permanent when you’ve made a self-discovery, or something you’ve come to a conclusion about,” Jolie said.
UPDATE: So I guess this is an old story… 
I was half awake when I posted it.

I don’t think any of Angelina’s tatoos could ever be considered “artistic”.

What? This must be an old item. The baby’s about 6 months old now.
I did not expect text to be cut-and-pasted on this site with no editing for current date…

yamahamama: You’re too critical. It isn’t becoming.
meg: Who cares if it’s old? I learned something new. I wondered what the reason was behind Brad’s ink. How interesting - he really seems to buy into whatever Angelina is selling..

Why do you ALWAYS have to precise Madd is adopted? We know thanks. He is Pitt’s son period. Have you ever thought how it could hurt adopted people to say that? And how it will hurt Madd and Zee later?? It’s like he is less his son than Shi.
Think about that please.
Nice site though.

Buddhist texts are typically written in Pali. But nice try Brad.

Popi, I agree with your sentiment about adoption, but this article was obviously cut and pasted from another source–Jocelyn probably did not write it, so don’t blame her!
