The Canadian pop star Justin Bieber has 曲(qǔ) meaning music in traditional Chinese characters.

Rapper Nicki Minaj has 上帝与你常在 'may god always be with you'.

Look no further than the man himself, football star David Beckham.

Beckham has in traditional Chinese characters 生死有命 'life and death in destiny' 富贵在天 'Rich in the sky'. It's actually a proverb meaning… 'Death and life have determined appointments; Riches and honours depend upon heaven'.

Captain America, I mean Chris Evans had what he believed to be 'family' tattooed on his right bicep. Unfortunately, 氏(shì) is the character used after a husband's family name to address a married woman.

Actress Angelina Jolie has a bit of a dark Chinese character meaning 'death'. You read that right! Death! She also rocks the Chinese dragon tattoo on her left arm.
