The Oscars are soon upon us, thats if the writers strike does not bring it to a halt. So it got me thinking how many Oscar winners/nominees have got a tattoo of some kind. Then it dawned on me there are loads of famous stars that have all sported all shapes and hues of tattoo designs, even visible at the Oscar ceremony (if you look closely).

 Oscar winners for the guys are:

Good old Johnny Depp (who is nominated this year for Sweeney Todd), Robert de Niro, Sean Connery, Nicholas Cage, Sean Penn, Cuba Godding Jr., and Ben Affleck

 Oscar winners for the Girls are :

Angelina Jolie, Gwyneth Paltrow, Charlize Theron, Halle Berry, Helen Mirren, Julia Roberts, Jodie Foster, Jessica Lange, Geena Davis, Marisa Tomei, Whoopi Goldberg and Melannie Griffith.

Lets just hope that Johnny does win this year and so he can also join this illustrious bunch. If you know of any other famous Oscar winners with a tattoo let us know.
