Angelina Jolie gets a tiger tattoo
A brief visit to Thailand has left an indelible mark on Angelina Jolie. After a two-day visit to Cambodia, the 29-year-old star stopped in the Thai capital of Bangkok earlier this week to have a tiger tattooed on her lower back by a well-known local artist, The Nation newspaper reports. Jolie, whose movie "Lara Croft: Tomb Raider" was shot partly at Cambodia's famed Angkor Wat temple, spent more than two hours at a hotel Wednesday having the 12-inch-long image applied by renowned tattooist Sompong Kanphai, the newspaper said. It was the actress' second tattoo by Sompong, who in April of last year applied an image featuring ancient Cambodian script, designed to ward off bad luck. Jolie said she flew back to Bangkok expressly to get the latest tattoo because the first one made her feel that her life was filled with luck. Sompong chanted an ancient hymn to bless the latest tattoo, according to The Nation. Jolie arrived on a private plane from Cambodia with her Cambodian son, Maddox, who she adopted two years ago with her former husband, actor Billy Bob Thornton. The visit was unannounced and her travel schedule was not immediately known. On the trip Jolie met with Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen, who offered her citizenship in recognition for her nature conservation efforts in his poverty-stricken country. The actress is giving a Cambodian community development organisation US$1.5
million for its environmental protection efforts in remote parts of the
country's north-west. She has also built a house in the
area.
