From Georgina to Selena: The Arabic Tattoo Hall of Fame
When Georgina Rodríguez revealed her latest Arabic tattoo, the internet couldn’t get enough. And honestly? We understand. There’s something effortlessly poetic and deeply personal about Arabic writing inked on skin.
From declarations of self-love to sweet tributes and powerful affirmations, Arabic tattoos have become a go-to for celebs looking to make a statement. So while Georgina’s tattoo is doing numbers online, let’s take a look back at some of our favorite Arabic tattoos spotted on international stars.
Georgina Rodríguez – وابعد عنا الشر آمين
Georgina’s tattoo reads “وابعد عنا الشر امين” which means “Keep all evil away from us, Amen.” It’s protective, spiritual, and beautifully written. No wonder it caught everyone’s attention. And with that rock on her finger, she might just need it.
Selena Gomez – أحب نفسك أولاً
Selena’s tattoo is pure self-care energy. She got “أحب نفسك أولاً” inked on her upper back, which means “love yourself first.” It’s simple, powerful, and 100% her vibe.
Angelina Jolie – العزيمة
On her right forearm, just below the elbow, Angelina has the Arabic word “العزيمة” which translates to “determination” or “strong will power.” Honestly, what else would we expect from a woman who’s always marched to the beat of her own drum?
Bella Hadid – أحبك – حبيبتى
Bella’s Arabic tattoos come as a pair. On one arm, she’s got “أحبك” (“I love you”) and on the other, “حبيبتى” (“my love” in the feminine). When she’s in an embrace, the two tattoos line up to read: “I love you, habibty.” It’s romantic, subtle, and kind of genius.
Zlatan Ibrahimović – إبراهيموفيج
Zlatan doesn’t need a quote or symbol – he is the moment. He tattooed his surname “Ibrahimovic” in Arabic script on his arm, and honestly, if our name carried that much weight, we’d do the exact same thing. Icon behavior.
We would take away some aura points since it’s not spelled correctly – “إبراهيموفيتش” – but he gets a pass.
Final Thoughts
Arabic tattoos aren’t just trending; they’re personal, poetic, and packed with meaning. Whether it’s a reminder to love yourself, a tribute to a loved one, or a prayer for protection, these ink choices show just how powerful a few words can be.
Just make sure you double-check the meaning before committing… unless you want to end up on a totally different kind of tattoo list.
