 Another tasty 'bite' on our list is Jackson Rathbone, an American actor who is recently best known for playing Jasper Hale in the vampiric box office smash, Twilight. Although fictional, vampires are beautiful, alluring creatures that have secured their rank in popular culture by cultivating supernatural sex appeal. Jackson's sense of style and mystique allowed him to fall into his Twilight role seamlessly. Jackson only has one tattoo at the moment but plans to add more to his collection over the years. When he was 18, he got a tattoo to commemorate his high school boys club with the statement, "I'm lost". This tattoo pays tribute to a crew of trouble-makers which were charmingly known as the "Lost Boys" by fellow students and teachers.
