Gone are the days when tattooed females weren’t such a common sight. With more and more people becoming more open to the idea of getting some body art done, tattoos have broken free from its stereotype as a staple among criminals or underground movements and the like. As a matter of fact, tattoos have become so mainstream that a number of today’s biggest female celebrities sport at least one piece of body art.

Some look OK with their tattoos, but very few carry their tattoos as sexily as the women in this list do. The ten Sexiest Celebrity Tattoos, as far as this writer is concerned, belong to the following women:

10. Angie Everhart

An inch lower and this model/actress’s dragon tattoo on her lower back would be in a downright nasty spot.

9. Tiffani Amber Thiessen

There’s nothing really that sexy about a tattoo of a flower on a person’s back, but when that back belongs to someone as hot as Tiffani Amber Thiessen, the tattoo could be Charlie Chaplin’s face for all I care and it would still come off as sexy. Thiessen, incidentally, also has an angel on her ankle, a small green heart on her stomach, sunflower just above the panty line.

8. Anastacia

This pop singer may not have made it that big in the U.S., but I’ve always had the hots for that tattoo on the small of her back, an Egyptian symbol of eternal life surrounded by the sun, ever since I saw her in one of her music videos.

7. Vanessa Marcil

Fell in love with her when I first saw her having sex on a rooftop with Nicolas Cage in “The Rock”, then fell out when I learned she was once married to Corey Feldman. Anyway, this “Las Vegas” hottie once had a tattoo of a tribal symbol signifying peace and love on her lower back, but she has since had it removed. You can still check out that tattoo in the pic below.

6. Pamela Anderson

Barbwire tattoo. Enough said.

5. Mutya Buena

I’ve got a thing for Asian-looking chicks, and I’ve got an even bigger thing for Asian-looking chicks with tattoos. And this former Sugababe has lots of them. What I find really sexy though is that rose on her left breast, and it doesn’t really take a quantum physicist to figure out why.

4. Ana Beatriz Barros

This pic is pretty self-explanatory. A hot supermodel with a very hot tattoo on a very hot spot.

3. Alyssa Milano

Alyssa Milano is the only reason why I put up with my sister’s regular “Charmed” viewings. She’s been in the business for as long as I can remember, yet she’s still as gorgeous as ever. One of the earliest female celebs to get ink done, Alyssa has a number of them scattered all over her body, and this tattooed chain with a cross on her shoulder is just one of ‘em.

2. Angelina Jolie

I know some people who will nail me to the wall upon learning that I placed serial adopter Angelina second in a list that has the word “sexy” in it. I’m probably one of the handful of people who don’t really drool over Angelina, but she does have some of the coolest and sexiest tattoos among celebs. That tiger tattoo alone is definitely a body art masterpiece.

1. Asia Argento

If only for that absolutely sexy and at the same time creepy angel tattoo, Asia Argento takes the number one spot. Just looking into that angel makes me want to forgive her for appearing in a movie as terrible as XXX.
