Anwar, Presley, Post and Beyond: 12 Celebs Who Made the Very Bold Move of Getting Face Tattoos

The three miniature dots below Anwar Hadid’s eye are just a few of the unique tattoos that cover his chest, arms, hands and neck. The 20-year-old model brother of Gigi and Bella Hadid also has a cross chain necklace inked around his wrist, the number 55 on his chest and the phrase “the world gold” on his neck. “I have so many weird tattoos that at one point meant something to me, but no longer do,” he told Vanity Fair last year. “I find it so beautiful that at one point I could have cared about something so much to have gotten it tattooed on my body. I have to respect who I was at that moment.” - Anwar Hadid/Instagram
