When Angelina Jolie stepped onto the red carpet at the Tony Awards on June 16, there was something new and notable about her appearance. No, it wasn’t her hair color; she’s been experimenting with soft blonde ombré for awhile. It wasn’t her lipstick or a fresh hair cut. It was a brand new tattoo, right smack in the center of her chest.
Jolie is famous for her ever-expanding lineup of body art. The Oscar winner has tons of tattoos, including finger tats and an ode to her Broadway musical, The Outsiders, which won the coveted Best Musical trophy at the ceremony. (Jolie produced the show.) Now, it seems Jolie has added a small swallow design to her collection, with the little bird taking flight right at the base of her sternum.
If you were imagining a giant, chest-spanning design, think again! Jolie’s latest ink is much more delicate and dainty, no more than two inches high. The bird is drawn with intricate black strokes and zero color, wings lifted in flight as though it was taking off toward her left ear.
