The Glee star and diva of the red carpet has a not-so-secret family tradition. Lea Michele appeared on David Letterman last night and revealed that she and her “big Italian family” get tattoos together in a sentimental way — and that she’s accumulated 14 in “secret spots.” Check out the video of the interview below, and a gallery of the tattoos we can see!
Much like Miley Cyrus and Rihanna, Lea collects tiny tattoos that aren’t immediately apparent in all pictures. She says, though, that she’s done getting them because she’s used up all of her real estate. It appears that tattoos are becoming more and more acceptable, and while my big Italian family don’t approve of my tattoos, I think it’s a cool tradition for Lea and her family. Check out the gallery to see 10 of the 14 she has. Tracking them down is difficult, but I guess that’s the idea!
Are you surprised that Lea Michele has so many tattoos?

XXX PERSON HAS 14 TATTOOS!!!…. That can all be combined to less than the size of a dollar bill and covered in under 20 minutes and hidden 90% of the time. …so why do they even have them?
What could possibly be worth tattooing… but only the size of a freckle?

@raspbxrrryjam@xanga - Smaller tattoos are cuter! I don’t know, I’m just playing devil’s advocate. Don’t have any tattoos myself. And easier to deal with pain? I don’t know!

Sure those weren’t done with pen? They look like they were…

I only counted 10. I like smaller tattoos. Although, if I ever get a tattoo it will be done with white ink.

@raspbxrrryjam@xanga - If I were ever to get a tattoo it wouldn’t be so other people could see it. I would be getting it for my own personal reasons. And I wouldn’t really care if people were going to see it or not. I’m planning on getting one on my foot or wrist in white ink.

@UnconventionalButterfly@xanga - I completely agree. They honestly look like doodles done with a blue pen…

@xhalesx@revelife - “Check out the gallery to see 10 of the 14 she has. Tracking them down is difficult, but I guess that’s the idea!” from the last line. I’m guessing some are just a super-secret!

@UnconventionalButterfly@xanga - I agree, they look sloppy and as if they were done with a pen or sharpie. Personally, I don’t wear tattoos because I hate needles…

@xhalesx@revelife - I don’t get my tattoos for other people’s benefits… but I also wouldn’t take the risk of infection, ect for something that was so small it may as well not exist, either.

@raspbxrrryjam@xanga - Two different opinions. In my profession I can’t really have a visible tattoo, unless I want to just cover it up with a band-aid every day. And that would get annoying. I’ll probably just not get one anyway, but if I do, it will be small and unnoticeable.
