The Untold Truth Of Christina Applegate

Asked to reveal 25 things that people don't know about her to Us Weekly in 2012, Christina Applegate had a surprising admission. "I have six tattoos," she declared.

In 1999, a few years after Married... with Children went off the air, Christina Applegate actually discussed the significance of her ink. "They're all there to keep me grounded," she told People. Each tattoo, she explained, had special meaning. One was the name of her church, while another was the name of her mother. Other tattoos include a Hawaiian lei, the Om symbol, and a vine, which she said represented a close friendship. "And then I have a secret one that I don't talk about," she added cryptically.

Speaking with The Buffalo News, Applegate explained her "agape" tattoo is the name of her church but also "means unconditional love in Greek. .. it's more of a spiritual tattoo." She also revealed her Hawaii-themed tat depicted tea leaves. "Hawaiian warriors wore them off to battle and it would protect them against evil," she said. "My tattoos sort of reflect the things that are most important to me — protection, God, my mom."
