Angelina Jolie,best known for her superb acting, her humanitarian works under the United Nations and a good mother to her kids had her share of wild impulses in her younger years.

The gorgeous Angelina Jolie graces the cover of the latest issue of Australian magazine Post-Modern Ink,bares the story behind her famous tattoos.

“They’re body art. I don’t think it’s abnormal that someone who spends their life in other skins wants to claim their own by marking things on it that matter to them. My most recent is five vertical rows of ancient Cambodian script. It’s on my back and looks very sacred.”

The award winning actress shares that-not all of her body art was planned.Some of the tattoo masterpiece were a product of impulsiveness on her part.

“Getting my dragon was perhaps the biggest surprise. I was in Amsterdam and got a little crazy, dropping my pants at a tattoo parlour and woke up the next morning and saw this really funny dragon.

“I’ve always wanted a dragon but this one had a funny blue tongue. To me a dragon is very much a woman, strong and elegant.”

The actress also added that she never regretted having those tattoos done on her body.

“I love them,” says Jolie.
