Happy Birthday Tom Hardy: Best Tattoos Of the English Actor and Their Hidden Meaning

Tom Hardy has a thing for tattoos and we are pretty aware of it by now. His body is full of it and obviously, all of them hold a special meaning and they’re not just random drawings or doodles on his body, duh. English performer, entrepreneur, and model Edward Thomas Hardy is better known by his stage name Tom Hardy. As one of the most well-known actors in modern Hollywood, Hardy has earned a position on the list of the most powerful individuals in the UK because to his charitable work.

Tom Hardy was born on September 15, 1977 in, Hammersmith, London, United Kingdom. This year on his birthday he is turning 44 and him being the fiend of tattoos he is, let’s check out some of the most significant tattoos he have had.

Tom Hardy’s Leprechaun now covered with Tribal Tattoo is one of the most significant one. ‘Leprechaun’ tattoo is the symbol of magic and good things in life as per Irish Culture, Tom got this inked due to his connection to Irish background, from his mother’s side. This ink was his first tattoo, which he had received at the age of 15 years but later got it covered with the tribal design.

His tattoo of Padre fiero which is on the collar bone mean proud father in his mother tongue. The best of all the tattoos is the London skyline he drew to show off the city he grew up in. Till I Die SW, Tom has ink on his body that states “Til I Die SW,” referencing the period when he was dating Sarah Ward (1999- 2004).

‘Leo Knows All’ tattoo is another important tattoo which means, after losing a wager to Leonardo DiCaprio that he wouldn’t receive an Academy Award for his performance in The Revenant, Hardy acquired additional tattoo to his portfolio in 2018. We all remember that DiCaprio actually won the Golden Globe for that role, thus Hardy’s co-star had to get the tattoo “Leo Knows All” placed someplace on his arm.
