TOMB RAIDER STAR JOLIE GETS INKED AGAIN

[ 15 July 2004 ]

A brief visit to Thailand has left an indelible mark on Angelina Jolie. After a two-day visit to Cambodia, the 29-year-old actress stopped in Bangkok on Wednesday to have a tiger tattooed on her lower back by a well-known local artist, The Nation newspaper reported Friday. Jolie spent more than two hours at a hotel having the 12-inch-long image applied by renowned tattooist Sompong Kanphai, the newspaper said.

Last year, Sompong applied an image featuring ancient Cambodian script, designed to ward off bad luck, on her back. Jolie reportedly decided to get the new tattoo because the first one made her feel luckier. Sompong chanted an ancient hymn to bless the latest tattoo, the newspaper said.
