HOLLYWOOD actor Johnny Depp is decorated head to toe in ink.
Depp, 57, has been embroiled in a years-long long legal battle with ex-wife Amber Heard after she accused him of being domestically violent towards her.
Johnny Depp has a total of 37 tattoos.
His first tattoo was a Cherokee headdress tattoo which he got inked when he was 17, to honor his Indian heritage, as his great-grandmother was a Cherokee.
Another tattoo includes the name of his mother, Betty Sue, which he got done by artist Jonathan Shaw in 1988. Betty tragically died on May 20, 2016, in Los Angeles, California after a long battle with illness.
Other tattoos include a ‘suprematism triangle’ based on a painting by the world-famous Russian painter Ilya Chashnik, doodles of three rectangles, and “Lily-Rose” over his heart.
Lily-Rose is Depp’s only daughter with ex-wife Vanessa Paradis, who was born in 1999.
“When Lily-Rose arrived, you know it was sorta like . . . boom! You hit the pavement and it’s strong beneath you and suddenly you realize, ‘Ah, that’s what it’s for. That’s why you care about integrity or doing things without compromise. It’s for that. It’s for her.”

Does Johnny Depp still have his Winona Forever tattoo?
Depp got “Winona forever” tattooed on his arm after he began dating his Edward Scissorhands co-star Winona Ryder in 1990.
Five short months after the pair started dating, Depp proposed, though the relationship didn’t last.
The couple remained engaged for three years before splitting up, and he had the tattoo modified to read “Wino forever,”
Depp claimed that he was “never really the same” after his split from Ryder. He said he believed that she had taken part of his soul with her when the couple split.
“I can only speak from my own experience, which was wildly different than what is being said,” she said in an interview with Time Magazine,
“He was never, never that way towards me. Never abusive at all towards me. I only know him as a really good, loving, caring guy who is very, very protective of the people that he loves.”
