Celebrity tattoos - made famous by such 1960's rock icons as Janis Joplin and 80's fashion icon Cher - have now evolved into full-tilt tattoo mania.

Gone are the days when bikers, sailors or WWE wrestlers were the main groups that made up the Great Tattooed.

Today, sexy actress Angelina Jolie has taken it to the extreme - with a famous collection of tribal dragons and tigers on various parts of her anatomy. Meanwhile, actor Johnny Depp famously sports on his arms and shoulders more than a half-dozen tattoos.

After all, it's hard to stop at just one tattoo — just ask Pamela, Britney, Eminem or 50 Cent.

Also take a look at TV shows such as Inked or Prison Break, both of which are currently cleaning up in the ratings, to see how tats are sweeping through the popular culture.
