#60 - Ryan Sheckler (Pro Skateboarder, December 30th, 1989)

Up up and away! Skateboarding superhero Ryan Sheckler has a substantial trophy collection that matches his gold medal good looks. This young lad became a professional skateboarder at the tender age of 14, after winning the X-Games, Gravity Games, Vans Triple Crown and Slam City Jam. Talk about talent! Ryan has the word “Sheckler” in large block letters tattooed over his shoulders, as well as the personal mantra “Skate Life Till Death” that spans both forearms. The words “Fear God” are also tattooed on his inner arms. The rumour mill tells us that Sheckler’s MILF-y Mom (and career manager) is popular with the older skate pros on tour. Which proves that our list has a little something for everyone! Fun for the whole family! >> pictures

#59 - Wilson Cruz (Actor, December 27th, 1973)

Every day is a pride parade for Wilson Cruz, an American actor best known for playing an openly gay teen on the television series My So Called Life and Party of Five. Wilson came out to his biological parents at age 19 and has served as a mentor to the Gay and Lesbian community by providing counseling to troubled gay youth. He continues to act in TV and movies but is devoting more and more of his time to the cause, which we find quite admirable. Cruz has an absolutely beautiful body and has a tattoo of the Puerto Rican flag on his left shoulder. >> pictures

#58 - Tim Armstrong (Musician, Rancid, November 25th, 1975)

Like your boys with a bit of piss and vinegar? Lace up your Doc Martens and say hello to Tim Armstrong of the ska/punk band Rancid. Tim has a penchant for emptying bottles and breaking hearts whilst wearing a stringy mohawk and a shit-eating grin. He may be a little rough around the edges, but that mischievous smile and crooked porkpie hat have wooed punk rock gals all over the globe. Tim has never shied away from having highly visible tattoo work and has a spider web tattoo that covers his entire head. Continuing with the spider-y theme, Tim also has a spider web tattooed on his left elbow and a black widow spider on his neck. Hell Cat records is owned by Armstrong, and he has a tattoo of the Hell Cat Records logo to commemorate his pride and joy. Rock on! >> pictures

#57 - Cole Mohr (Model, 1986)

Underground eye candy Cole Mohr is an American fashion model known for his slim build, angular features and supernaturally pale skin. Muse to fashion designer and photographer Hedi Slimane, Mohr rose to popularity in the fashion world after being photographed for the Dior Homme campaign in 2006. Despite being a high-end fashion model for brands like Comme des Garcons, Balenciaga and Marc Jacobs, Cole has several visible tattoos which he wears proudly on the runway and in magazine editorials. Cole has a tattoo on his collarbone that reads: “April, May June” and another quote on his right rib that says: “Every Day of My Life”. On his left forearm, he has yet another text tattoo that reads: “Wolves”. >> pictures

#56 - Trace Cyrus (Musician, Metro Station, February 23, 1989)

Big brother to Miley, and son of Billy Ray, Trace Cyrus has been surrounded by the entertainment industry since he was a wee boy. Trace now fronts his own band Metro Station and is planning a musical collaboration with his sister on her next full-length album. Metro Station was fortunate to be picked up by Columbia Records in 2008 and has toured with the heavily inked boys of Good Charlotte. Trace is heavily tattooed on his arms and chest, and has the words “STAY GOLD” tattooed on his knuckles and “Songs of Victory” along his collarbone. His arms are fully sleeved with jack-o-lanterns, gravestones, a clipper ship, skulls, roses, webs and other American traditional themes. >> pictures

#55 - Benji + Joel Madden (Musicians, March 11th, 1979)

Tattooed identical twin brothers Benji and Joel Madden, founders of the pop punk powerhouse Good Charlotte, are the equivalent of a twisted Wrigley’s Doublemint Gum commercial. Double your pleasure! (Yes, that was the actual slogan for the ad circa 1984). Both brothers are heavily inked from head to toe and have the cutie-pie-punk-gangsta routine mastered. Benji has several full colour religious themed tattoos, which include praying hands, a sacred heart, The Virgin Mary and a reproduction of “The Last Supper”. Joel’s tattoos are also spiritual and religions in nature, but his interest is in the highly detailed black and grey work. Joel wears a portrait of Jesus and The Virgin Mary as well as praying hands and various pieces of fluid black and grey script. >> Benji pictures - >> Joel pictures

#54 - Nicholas Lemons (Model, Birthdate Unknown)

All hot and bothered in the summer heat? Meet the man responsible for record-breaking temperatures this summer: Nicolas Lemons. You may not recognize Nicholas's name right off the bat, but we’re sure you would recognize his gorgeous good looks and jaw-dropping physique. Nicholas is one of the most sought after tattooed male models and has been photographed for campaigns and fashion shows by Armani, DSquared, Dolce & Gabbana, Esprit and DKNY Jeans. Lemons has a sleeve and chest plate that combines images of bamboo, a dragon, a lotus blossom, water, kanji symbols and a cubist style face. >> pictures

#53 - Adam Lambert (Musician, American Idol, January 29th, 1982)

Hello Los Angeles! Wild idol, Adam Lambert, performed a screamin’ melody with KISS to finish as the runner up in the 8th season of American Idol. Lambert is currently working on a solo album slated for release in late 2009 and hopes that Slash will lend his fretwork to some of the material. Lambert is openly gay and declared to Rolling Stone that he was proud of his sexuality, a statement that will pave the way for other gay American Idol contestants. Adam recently popped his tattoo cherry by getting an Eye of Horus inked on the underside of his right wrist. We have a feeling he’ll be getting more. As the old saying goes, once you get one... you’ll want another. And another... >> pictures

#52 - Ewan McGregor (Actor, March 31st, 1971)

The strong, silent Scotsman, known as Ewan McGregor is a charming recluse with a sweet smile and an unmistakable presence in mainstream, indie and art house films. McGregor is one of the few major male actors to repeatedly agree to roles that require full frontal nudity. If you require conclusive evidence, we suggest renting Trainspotting, Velvet Goldmine and The Pillow Book IMMEDIATELY! McGregor adores and protects his family from the public eye and has a single tattoo that pays tribute to the people closest to his heart. On his right arm is a heart and dagger with his wife and daughter’s names: Eve, Ester and Clara. >> pictures

#51 - Jared Leto (Musician, Actor, December 26th, 1971)

Singing for his band 30 Seconds to Mars or lending acting skills to challenging roles in Fight Club and Requiem for a Dream, Jared Leto looks marvelous in any role he takes on. We are absolutely over the moon for Jared's crystal clear eyes, his tousled hair (in various stage of perpetual bed head) and his aristocratic-boho-rocker look. He's also not afraid to wear a little bit of ‘Man-liner’ on occasion, so we respect him for that. Jared is always a staple for everyone's ‘best of’ lists and was chosen for People magazine's "50 Most Beautiful People" twice! Jared is a little rock ‘n roll, a little bit theatrical and has the Echelon "X" symbol tattooed on his left arm, and a glyph symbol on his right wrist which are part of his band's iconography. Jared’s most recent tattoo is of Roman arrows on his calf. >> pictures
