It's scarily easy for a tattoo to fall in the "hmmmm" category. Some people submit to this truth and embrace it, like Shia LaBeouf, Justin Bieber, and—most notably—our friend Tom Hardy. Hardy's collection of ink is filled with questionable choices. Take one of his most recent, for example, the one he got after losing a bet with Leonardo DiCaprio on whether he would get an Oscar nomination for his role in The Revenant. When he received the nod, DiCaprio got to design a tattoo for Hardy. Because DiCaprio is DiCaprio, and because Hardy has no fear, the actor ended up with a "Leo Knows All" tattoo on his arm.

“He would never get a tattoo if he lost that bet! It was just one-way," Hardy told Vanity Fair back in 2017 when asked about the wager. "I’m covered in shit tattoos anyway, so it doesn’t make any difference to me if I got a big bold ‘Leo’ right across my thigh or across my face. It’s just that, isn’t it? You bet a tattoo, you lose. That’s what happens.” Hardy's "Leo Knows All" tattoo was finally seen this weekend via a fan selfie posted to Instagram, and it's not some tiny thing either. It's block letters and right on his bicep, because that's how Tom Hardy does it.

But "Leo Knows All" is nothing compared to some of his other tattoos. Hardy has practically every category of questionable tattoo covered. He has "Till I die SW," dedicated to his then-wife Sarah Ward, and "Charlotte," dedicated to his current wife, Charlotte Riley. He has a tribal scorpion and a leprechaun inside a tribal sleeve. He has the full name of his agent and a Buddha holding an AK-47. He has the comedy and tragedy masks. He has a Madonna and child. He has it all and regrets nothing. And you know what? May we all ink so freely.
