mar 29, 2012 - NEW TATTOO
SKELETON KEY
First Sighting
29 March 2012
Description:
Johnny Depp has a skull-shaped skeleton key tattooed on his inner left arm, just above the wrist which was first noticed on 29 March 2012. The tattoo was done by Mark Mahoney.
Damien Echols of the West Memphis Three has a similar tattoo, and in August 2012 Damien told Inkmag about the significance of the image:
Flor me, when I was a child, I thought that a skeleton key could literally open any door. So that if you ever got your hands on a skeleton key, you'd be almost
unstoppable-no barrier could hold you back. It seemed like an incredibly magical thing. For me now, that's still what it represents."
Damien and Johnny got their skeleton key tattoos at the same time but not in the same place! Johnny was in Los Angeles, Damien explained, “and I was in New York and we were on the phone at the same time both sending each other photographs back and forth, keeping track on the progress and everything else.
