Tattoos have become much more accepted and are now considered a rite of passage for many young adults. Many celebrities have made body art, such as face tattoos, fashionable, especially in creative fields. However, when it comes to politicians, many people still tend to believe that their bodies must be as clean as possible as if it would change anything.
Let’s see if there’s anyone’s ink you can recognize.
1. Caroline Kennedy
Caroline Bouvier Kennedy, who used to be the US Ambassador to Japan, has a charming butterfly tattoo on her arm. In case you’re wondering about her last name, yes, she is the only surviving child of President John F. Kennedy. She was barely six when her father was assassinated in 1963. Caroline graduated from Radcliffe College and started working at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, where she met her husband. With a hubby by her side, she focused on law, politics, education reform, and charitable work. In the 2008 presidential election, she endorsed Barack Obama and actively supported his campaign, so in 2013, Caroline was appointed as the US Ambassador to Japan.
2. Justin Trudeau
Former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau wasn’t just your ordinary politician. Not only did he showcase his leadership skills, but he is also an environmentalist and advocate for women’s rights. He’s got that trustworthy, good-guy vibe that people tend to appreciate in a leader. But he’s been hiding something: a massive double tattoo on his bicep! Back in March 2012, he shared on Twitter that his tattoos feature planet Earth inside a Haida raven, where Haida refers to an Indigenous group in North America mostly found in Haida Gwaii, British Columbia, and parts of Alaska. That is a cool concept with some personal lore behind it.
3. Sarah Palin
Sarah Palin joked about getting a Big Dipper tattoo around 2012, and it looks like she finally went for it. Though she usually covers it up, a few Instagram clips and a Newsmax video showed off tiny wrist tattoos: a flower and a constellation of some sort. Palin reportedly also has a permanent lipliner tattooed on. So, while she may look makeup-ready 24/7, part of that is just tattoo ink.
