Hollywood stars Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt recently got matching tattoos from a Thai tattoo guru.
News about Jolie and Pitt’s tattoos—and the extremely personal spiritual meaning behind them—was revealed on Woman’s Day website.
Last month, while the 40-year-old Oscar winner was directing the film “First They Killed My Father” in Cambodia, the couple had a secret session with Ajarn Noo Kanpai, who had previously inked her left shoulder blade in 2003 and etched a tiger on her lower back in 2004, the site reported.
This time, the fresh etching in the middle and right of her back is comprised of grids with pyramids at the top.
“They [the tattoos] give the wearer protection and health,” a source told Woman’s Day. “Angelina is a very spiritual person and has long believed her tattoos are more than just designs on her body – that they actually hold some meaning, power and influence over her.”

Pitt, 52, has a Buddhist symbol |tattooed on the left side of his midriff beneath the lyrics of the Bob Dylan song “When the Deal Goes Down”.
In a touching tribute to the strength of their bond—despite reports of marital discord in recent weeks—Woman’s Day said it is understood that Ajarn Noo used the same ink for both Pitt and Jolie.

According to the insider, the stars’ artwork was done using the ancient hand-poking method with a bamboo tube and a sterilized needle.
The Nation tried to reach Ajarn Noo, but he declined to comment.
However, he told Woman’s Day: “I don’t know if my work has helped Angelina in her life, but I hope so. My tattoos have a great deal of spiritual meaning and significance, so I hope they have blessed her.”
The couple have numerous tattoos, mainly dedicated to their six children, Maddox, 14; Pax, 12; Zahara, 11; Shiloh, 9; and seven-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne, the site reported.
