Khloé

Between them, Khloé, Lamar and Rob have enough tattoos to fill a graphic novel. Each one has a tale behind it, so read on for a firsthand account:

"Lamar and I were out to dinner at Sunset Plaza, where there are at least 100 tattoo parlors, which makes getting a tattoo very accessible. Something just came over me, and I wanted to get his initials on my hand. Not sure why I was so adamant, but I wanted it. Lamar then said he wanted to get my initials done, but he was going to do both hands. I guess we compete with one another! I have his 'LO' on my right hand, and...

"I have all my tattoos done by Mister Cartoon in downtown L.A. He is one of the best and a close friend, so it only made sense! This image is of a verse from the Bible that my dad wrote out to me.  When he was alive, he would write verses on stationary and put it on my bathroom mirror every morning so that when I was getting ready for school I would read them.  This verse is Proverbs 15:20.  It says, "A wise son brings joy to his father," which is exactly what he instilled in his kids his whole life, that the most important thing is family!"

"My mother passed away when I was 12. She has guided me through life, through every obstacle and blessing. Having her portrait on my back is a way to pay homage to such an amazing mother. The image is her wedding photo, and the wording, "In God's Hands Watching My Back," is because she's always watching over and guiding me"

"On my forearm, I have a cross with my dad's birth date and initials. This was my first tattoo, and just something I got to remember him by. He never liked tattoos, but to me, they're works of art that remind me of him and how he was very religious and brought me up that way."

"This is a portrait of my dad from a picture that was always in our hallway. My dad was my best friend, so I deeply wanted an image of him right on my forearm. This turned out amazingly!"

"This tattoo is so special to me is because it's actually my father's handwriting. I miss him constantly, and I waited a long time to get just the right thing that I would have on my body for the rest of my life. One day, I was looking at old birthday cards he had written to me, and I kept looking at his handwriting. I love how he writes, so I decided to get his exact handwriting. I wanted it visible, and I wanted to be able to always see it, so I put it on my wrist."

"This was my second tattoo. My girlfriend at the time, Adrienne Bailon, and I got them within three months of knowing each other. Love does that to you, and I don't regret it at all. If I am with someone, and I love them enough to get their name tattooed, then I will do it. Though next time, maybe I'll wait 'til I'm married!  I am getting this one removed because, even though it's really cool, at the end of the day, it isn't fair to whoever I'm going to be with to have my ex girlfriend's name on my body."

"I have 'CA' for California, and underneath it says, 'City of Angels.' Originally, the C was a bird called 'Sankofa,' which means sticking to your roots and never forgetting about your friends and family.  Some of my close friends and I all got these in different areas.  I felt it was a little feminine, so I added on the A to give it dual meaning!"

"I have three children. One of them, my son Jayden, passed away at six and a half months old due to SIDS. I have this image of him placed over my heart."

"I have an angel and a black rose on my arm.  Every night before I went to sleep, my dad would say, 'Lord, please put an angel watching over us and a wall of fire around us to protect us.'  So I really wanted a pretty angel on my arm."
