Sushmita Sen is the latest Bollywood celebrity to be bitten by the tattoo bug.

The actress was seen at the premiere of her film Dulha Mil Gaya , sporting a tattoo on the inside of her right arm and another on her left wrist.

Sushmita’s tattoo on the left wrist is a Latin term ‘Soli deo glory’, meaning ‘ Glory to God alone’. The one on the right arm reads ‘ Temptation’. The ‘ T’ is written with a symbol of a dagger. Tattoo and body language experts say tattoos reveal the personality of those who sport them. While Sush’s dagger tattoo is edgy, most Bollywood celebrities have gone for boring tattoos bearing the name or initials of a lover. Some sport symbols like stars and angels.

Deepika Padukone has her ex- beau Ranbir’s initials RK (Ranbir Kapoor) on her nape. Suzzanne Roshan, in an apparent denial of rumours that her marriage with Hrithik had run into problems, got his name tattooed on her arm.

Sush’s tattoo, on the other hand, is closer in inspiration to Hollywood hottie Angelina Jolie. Jolie, a known tattoo junkie who sports over a dozen tattoos over her body, including symbols and text in exotic languages, also has a Latin term tattooed on her abdomen. That term reads ‘ What nourishes me also destroys me’. Jolie is among the many Hollywood A- listers who sport tattoos. Scarlett Johansson’s cheery demeanour is reflected in a colourful sunrise tattoo on her arm. A moon and butterfly symbol on Drew Barrymore shows that she wants to reinforce her sugary sweet appeal.

According to body language expert Rita Gangwani, “Often it’s a subconscious decision to sport a tattoo on a particular body part but it gives away some clues about the personality of the wearer.” Normally people like to project their hidden desires through symbolic gestures like tattoos.

While a harmless flower or a butterfly tattoo on a girl suggests that she is trying to build up her sensuality, a tattoo such as ‘Temptation’ with a dagger denotes that her biggest desire could be to be wanted, loved and appreciated by people. The dagger also signifies that the person is difficult and is very opinionated.

“The place where the tattoo is drawn is also very strategic. Sush’s tattoo on her left wrist about God denotes the close bond she feels with God. In body language studies, anything that is close to your left wrist is considered very heartfelt. The nerve connecting your heart runs straight through your left wrist (that’s why the wedding band is worn on the left ring finger),” Gangwani says.
