Here's What Liam Hemsworth's Tattoos Really Mean

So you know how your mom always tells you not to get matching tattoos with your boyfriend, even if you're sure the relationship is meant to be? Well, you might want to take the advice, because most of the ink that actor Liam Hemsworth has are matching tattoos with ex-wife, singing sensation Miley Cyrus. The first tattoo is question is a matching, green Mexican sugar skull located on Hemsworth's right ankle. Next up is his skull tattoo, as well as a Vegemite tattoo — the pair got the ink to commemorate Hemsworth's favorite condiment (via BodyArtGuru).

The last tattoo that Hemsworth has etched under his skin that matches his ex-wife's ink is a large script tattoo on his left bicep. The lines are picked from former president Theodore Roosevelt's speech on "Citizenship in Republic." The line reads in two parts, which the first part (tattooed on Hemsworth) reading, "If he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly.." and the second part (tattooed on Cyrus) reading, "So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat" (via Cosmopolitan)

So does Hemsworth have any ink that doesn't match his ex-wife's tattoos? Luckily, yes. In April 2018, Hemsworth got a geometric dragonfly tattoo on his upper right arm. Tattoo artist, Mr. K — also known by his real name Keith McCurdy — tatted the Aussie, and Hemsworth shared the experience on his Instagram. While the tattoo is a beaut, no one really knows the meaning behind it.
