#20 - Keith Urban (Musician, October 26th, 1967)
 Keith Urban is an Australian country singer-songwriter who has achieved incredible success in the United States, including 10 number one singles on the US country charts. He recently took home a Grammy Award for Best Male Country Vocal Performance in 2010 for the tune, “Sweet Thing”. Urban plays a myriad of instruments, acoustic and electric guitar, bass guitar, mandolin, piano and bouzouki. We love Keith’s urban cowboy mystique. So much, that we’d like to ride off into the sunset on horseback with a picnic for two. This would only happen in our dreams however, Keith is happily married to Nicole Kidman and has her name “Nicole” tattooed on his left bicep. Hey, if it doesn’t work out with Nicole, he can always find another… >> pictures

#19 - Viggo Mortensen (Actor, October 20th, 1958)
 Yet another handsome Renaissance Man on our list, Viggo Mortensen is an actor, poet, photographer and painter. He is best known for for his award-winning role as the heavily tattooed Russian mobster in Eastern Promises and Aragorn in popular The Lord of the Rings Trilogy. Although the tattoos worn in Eastern Promises are not Viggo’s own, we definitely get a good look at all his jailhouse ink during the infamous *nude* fight scene in the bath house... Ahem. Moving along. Viggo received a real tattoo as a memento for his time on set with The Lord of the Rings Trilogy. All nine cast members of the “fellowship” received the same tattoo, it reads “nine” in elvish. >> pictures

#18 - Colin Farrell (Actor, May 31st, 1976)
 We love guys with accents. Especially bad boy Irish accents. Our next entry, Colin Farrell, is an Irish actor who has appeared in several high profile Hollywood films including Daredevil, Minority Report, In Bruges and will star in the remake of the 80‘s cult hit, Fright Night in 2011. Although Colin uses an American accent in many of his films, he has a pronounced Irish accent off screen which makes us squeal with girly delight. On his heart, Colin has a tattoo of a rose with the words “I love, no matter”. His upper right arm is decorated in a traditional Tahitian tribal piece that he received while vacationing in Tahiti. Farrell was raised Catholic and also has a large cross tattooed on his left forearm with the words “Carpe Diem”. Carpe Diem is Latin for Seize the Day. >> pictures

#17 - Adam Levine (Musician, Maroon 5, March 18th, 1979)
 Adam Levine is the lead singer-songwriter of the hit pop band Maroon 5. One wouldn’t assume just by looking at him that he could sing alongside Stevie Wonder and Lionel Richie with the greatest of ease. Maroon 5‘s first record Songs About Jane is an album that is entirely dedicated to his now ex-girlfriend of the same name. Just think, stealing Adam’s heart could mean he’ll be singing YOUR name on the next Maroon 5 album! This year Adam leant his pipes along with 80 other musicians to reprise “We Are The World” to benefit the Haiti earthquake disaster. Adam has a full sleeve of tattoos, which combine a large scale oriental crane, cherry blossoms and an acoustic guitar. He also has a tiger and the number 222 tattooed on his inner arm, which is the studio number where Maroon 5 recorded their first album. >> pictures

#16 - James Ransone (Actor, June 2nd, 1979)
 James “PJ” Ransone is an American actor heating up the Emmy nominated television show, The Wire and HBO’s Generation Kill. He also recently modeled for The Row’s 2010 Spring/Summer collection. PJ’s BIG brown eyes are deep enough to go swimming in and we suspect they’re full of dark, moody secrets and hinting to the mischief that takes place when the sun goes down. Check out his photographs and you’ll see what we mean! Stylistically, PJ’s tattoos pair nicely with his James Dean looks and draw from American traditional designs and imagery. PJ has a cowboy on his left arm, a sparrow on his shoulder, a star on either side of his chest and a scripted chest piece that reads: “No Dice”. >> pictures

#15 - 50 Cent (Rapper, July 6th, 1975)
 Adrenaline junkie? You’d better put on a bedazzled bulletproof vest if you’re going to venture out on the town with Curtis Jackson, also known as 50 Cent. First discovered by Eminem, 50 Cent, is a successful American rapper with a criminal record and a drug dealing past. 50 softened his lifestyle considerably after the birth of his son and had his name, Marquise, tattooed alongside an axe on his left bicep. Of the tattoo he says: "The axe is 'cause I'm a warrior. I don't want him to be one, though". He also has "50", "Southside", and "Cold World" inscribed on his back because "I'm a product of that environment. It's on my back, though, so it's all behind me". Let’s toast to a kinder, gentler 50 Cent! >> pictures

#14 - Milo Ventimiglia (Actor, July 8th, 1977)
 Hellllooo-Milo! Milo Ventimiglia is an American actor known for his role as Peter Petrelli on the television series Heroes. Immediately noticeable by his soulful, Sicilian eyes, Milo’s presence starts sparks and melts hearts. Best thing about Milo? He recently broke up with Heroes co-star Hayden Panettiere! Yes, you heard us correctly, Milo is on the market. Also, your Mom will approve of his life choices: this clean cut boy doesn’t drink alcohol or smoke and has aspirations of becoming a hot shot film director. Despite his squeaky clean lifestyle, Milo has a star tattooed on the inside of his right bicep, a dragon on his calf and the initials S.L.R.S. on his left shoulder. >> pictures

#13 - Orlando Bloom (Actor, January 13th, 1977)
 Orlando Bloom, is a classically trained actor from Kent, England best known for leading roles in blockbuster hits such as the Pirates of the Caribbean and The Lord of the Rings trilogies. Most of Bloom’s successes have been part of a superstar charged ensemble cast. We adore Orlando because he is a compassionate soul through and through. He is a practicing Buddhist, an active environmentalist and has a tender heart for animals in need. Bloom adopted his dog, Sidi, from the streets of Morocco while filming Kingdom of Heaven. Bloom has a tattoo of the Elvish word “nine” on his right wrist. All nine members of “The Fellowship” received the tattoo to landmark their involvement with the Lord of the Rings Trilogy. He also has a small tattoo of a tribal sun on his lower abdomen. >> pictures

#12 - Lenny Kravitz (Musician, May 26th, 1964)
 Church is now in session! It is time to pay our respects to the Altar of Rock ‘n’ Roll. Lenny Kravitz, the immensely popular singer-songwriter and multi instrumentalist, has turned rock music into a religious experience. A hedonistic love god for the ladies and a guitar hero for the boys, Lenny entertains the rock idol persona with perfect pitch. Kravitz has also dabbled in acting, most off-Broadway productions and the yet to be released film “Precious” which won three awards at the Sundance Film Festival in 2009. Music remains the centre of Lenny’s career, and he is currently booked to play 53 dates on the Let Love Rule 2009 Tour. He also plans to contribute vocals to Slash’s first solo album to be released this summer. Lenny has a Japanese black and grey dragon tattoo on his chest that flows over his left shoulder and upper arm. The dragon is complimented by elements of wind, water, and waves which helps place the dragon in a mystical environment right on the skin. Lenny’s other tattoos include a colourful floral design on his left forearm and a cross on his right bicep. >> pictures

#11 - The Rock (Actor, Wrestler, May 2nd, 1972)
 Can you smell what The Rock is cookin’? Is it dinner for two? Dwayne Johnson, better known as “The Rock” is a nine-time world championship wrestler for the WWF/E and WCW. We can see why he chose the name “The Rock” for himself in the ring, admittedly Dwayne Johnson is kind of a goofy name. It’s much better to pin the competition with a name like The Rock! Since 2001, The Rock has put his focus into an acting career, while still making the occasional guest appearance on the WWE. The Rock is not only a solidly built manly-machine but he has the cutest dimples when he smiles. So much for being a tough guy! Those dimples don’t lie, we know you’re a big softy under all those muscles. The Rock has two pieces of ink, a bull on his upper right arm and a large tribal Samoan design covering the left side of his chest, and his left arm from shoulder to elbow. The bull represents his astrological symbol, Taurus and the Samoan design is a tribute to his Mother’s Samoan background. >> pictures
