Brad Pitt recently made waves by sharing an exclusive shirtless photo to promote his upcoming film F1.
At 61 years old, the actor showed off not only his muscular physique but also a collection of tattoos that are sure to spark conversation.
As he relaxed on a yellow sofa, dressed in off-white slacks, Pitt’s tattoos—likely numbering in the dozens—were clearly visible on his chest and arms.
These markings, which are real and not part of his film character, offer a glimpse into the actor’s personal story, marking a major moment in his public life.
A Deeper Dive into Brad Pitt’s Tattoos
Brad’s tattoos have always been a source of fascination for fans.
His ink began accumulating during his relationship with actress Angelina Jolie, who is also known for her extensive tattoos.
Several of Pitt’s tattoos share similarities with Jolie’s, especially the Cambodian-inspired designs.
Notably, he has her birthday inked on his lower abdomen in Khmer script, along with a symbol of their connection.
The actor’s left forearm features a French phrase translating to “life is absurd,” while his right arm is adorned with a vertical line crossing a horizontal one, forming a cross.
On one side of the cross, he has the letter ‘A’ for Angelina, and on the other side, the initials of their six children: Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh, Knox, and Vivienne.
Symbolic Tattoos for a Meaningful Life
Pitt’s tattoos go beyond family symbols; they reflect his personal beliefs and interests.
He has a detailed sketch of Ötzi the Iceman, the world’s oldest mummy, along with the word “Invictus,” meaning unconquerable.
In addition, he sports tattoos such as “Alpha” and “Omega,” referencing the beginning and end.
On his back, lines drawn by Jolie are now permanently inked, while on his right bicep, a quote by the poet Rumi reads, “There exists a field, beyond all notions of right and wrong.
I will meet you there.” Some of his other tattoos include sketches of a motorcycle, a tornado, a rhinoceros, and a human skull, all contributing to his unique personal tapestry.
Behind the Scenes of F1 and Brad’s Dedication to the Role
The much-anticipated F1 movie, which will hit theaters on June 27, 2025, has been in the works for several years.
Pitt plays the role of Sonny Hayes, a retired Formula 1 driver who returns to mentor a younger driver in a fictional team, APXGP.
The film, directed by Joseph Kosinski (known for Top Gun: Maverick), is filled with real-world authenticity, thanks to its collaboration with Formula 1.
In fact, all 10 F1 teams, drivers, the FIA, and race promoters have contributed to the production.
In November, Brad Pitt gave fans a glimpse of his commitment to the role by fainting on the track during filming in Las Vegas.
The scene, which involved a dramatic race crash, was part of a stunt in which Pitt, dressed in full racing gear, collapsed onto a padded mat.
This led to a mock statement from his fictional team, APX GP, creating even more buzz around the film.

The trailer, released in July 2024, teased an adrenaline-pumping experience, showing Pitt speeding around the track to the iconic sound of Queen’s “We Will Rock You.”
With its mix of star power, real-world racing action, and Brad’s personal touch, F1 is set to be one of the most thrilling films of 2025.
