While is a household name thanks to his longstanding music career, he's also become known for his impressive collection of tattoos, which he has consistently added to over the years. The 'Let Me Entertain You' hitmaker has over 20 tattoos, but what are they and what are the meanings behind them? Read on to find out… The Celtic Cross symbol was Robbie's first-ever tattoo. Raised as a Catholic, Robbie saw the cross as a symbol of protection.
He had the print tattooed in Amsterdam when he was 17 years old as a replacement for a cross necklace that he lost. "My reasoning was that I lost my Celtic cross chain and if I had it on my leg, I'd never lose it," he said in a video on his channel. This design was created by American artist Keith Haring, who rose to prominence from the New York City graffiti subculture of the 1980s.
"I really like Keith Haring, I really like UFOs and I really like pyramids," Robbie said of the tattoo. This adorable print is in honour of his daughter, Theodora, who was born in 2012. Robbie also has the Coco Chanel logo on his right arm as a tribute to his five-year-old daughter Coco.
Robbie was in Amsterdam when he had a Maori Prayer tattooed on his left shoulder. The print, which features a shark and the sea, took a whopping three hours to ink. The Take That star previously admitted that he may have upset some Maori elders with his tattoo.
"Some people were offended. I didn't mean to offend, I just love it," he said. A tattoo dedicated to his grandmother.
