Angelina Jolie already has about a dozen tattoos on her body that she has been collecting since she was a teenager just getting her start in Hollywood.But the 40-year-old Oscar winner is far from done with inking herself up, which she proved over the weekend.On Sunday the wife of Brad Pitt debuted three more stamps as she was on the set of her new film, the war drama First They Killed My Father, in Cambodia.The star was overseeing scenes shot in the Angor Watt Temple complex in Cambodia. She has been directing the saga all winter.All three of the new marks are on her back, joining previous tattoos that say Know Your Rights, a traditional Thai tiger and Cambodian writings that have already been in place for years.The new markings seemed to be done this year as they have not been seen on the red carpet yet.One looks like a temple while the other looks like a series of symbols. They are believed to have been at the same time in January by Bangkok-based artist Ajarn Noo Kanpai. He also worked with Jolie in 2003 on her shoulder blade and in 2004 on her tiger. The artist uses an old method of inking by hand, not a machine.The third tattoo is a box with symbols in it, and rests in the center of her back.It is thought to be a Yant known as Paech chaluaek, which is a symbol of good deed. Chants are said to be performed after the tattoo is done so to help further the good deeds.This seems to go in line with Angelina's UN efforts to help refugees around the world.
According to Australia's Woman's Day, Brad also got a new tattoo when Jolie got her two markings from Kanpai.His was a line from a Bob Dylan song that read: 'We live, we die but I know I'll be with you.'The etching is believed to be a romantic note to his wife.The publication added that Kanpai used the same ink for both tattoos, to further bond the couple. In early December, Angelina showed off another new tattoo on her forearm when at the Cambodia Film Festival in Phnom Penh.With the ink clearly visible on the inside of her left arm, a new addition to her ever-growing collection of body art.Complete with a thin, intricate outline in black ink it is thought the tattoo is an homage to the thousands who lost their lives during the country's Khmer Rouge reign, as she is currently in the country working on a film about the atrocities.The ink appears to be in the style of the Southeast Asian sak yant style of tattooing, which is often constructed with lines of script, geometric patterns and animal shapes. While on set of First They Killed My Father on Sunday, the Salt star went braless as she wore a spaghetti strap black satin tank top made by Katie Holmes' old design company Holmes & Yang.The top did an excellent job of showing off her new markings. She paired it with a long black skirt.
The Vogue cover girl also wore a floppy cream colored hat to keep out the sun.First They Killed My Father is based on the 2000 book First They Killed My Father: A Daughter of Cambodia Remembers.It's a non-fiction account written by Loung Ung, a Cambodian author and survivor of the Pol Pot regime. It is a personal tale of her experiences during the Khmer Rouge yearsJolie seems to be doing well after a difficult few years with her health.In May 2013 she announced she had a double mastectomy to prevent a cancer scare. Her mother Marcheline Bertrand died from cancer in 2007 at the age of 56 after a long battle with cancer.In March it was reported the Mrs And Mrs Smith star also had her ovaries removed.
