When she’s not busy running a skin-care brand or starring in one of the most famous movie franchises in history, Scarlett Johansson is providing beauty inspiration left and right. Still, when she steps onto a red carpet in a back-baring dress, you might not be looking at her signature red lip or Old Hollywood updo. You’re probably entranced by her massive back tattoo.

Despite her being in the spotlight for more than two decades, what many people may still not know about the star is that she has an impressive tattoo collection, with at least eight pieces of ink known to the general public so far. Save for Johansson’s back tattoo, most of the designs seem to be more minimalist and harder to spot, which makes them the perfect inspiration if you’re looking for your own tiny tattoo.

Though Johansson has kept the meanings behind most of her designs close to her chest, they all seem to have some sort of significance to the star, as evidenced by the Avengers logo on her inner-right arm – a nod to her role in the Marvel movie franchise. Whether you’re curious about the reason behind designs like Johansson’s back tattoo or are on the prowl for inspiration for your own, take a look at all the pieces that make up the actor’s tattoo collection ahead.
