Celebrity Tribute Tattoos

Heath Ledger as Joker

The tragic passing of super-talented Australian actor Heath Ledger at such a young age shocked the world.

His outstanding performance as the Joker in the last movie he ever completed, 'The Dark Knight,' not only earned him rave reviews and millions of dollars, it also inspired an avid fan to have this impressive tribute tattoo inked on his arm.

It took tattoo artist Lokesh Verma of Devilz Tattooz five hours to complete this homage to Heath Ledger.
