Ayu tattoo
 

Hi all. Much appreciate if anyone can tell me more about Ayu's tattoo. Did she design the tattoo by herself? The one on her back. And how many tattoo does Ayu have actually?

She does only have one (as far as we know).
Actually I don't know if she designed it herself..

It's been a couple of years since she got it. Back then, she was with Tomoya Nagase. They did both get the half of a heart on the back (ayu) and the front (Tomoya) of their shoulders:

(To me, ayu's is beautiful, while Tomoyas fails :laugh)

Then in 2008, in the year of her 10th anniversary, she got it changed to her 10th Anniversary logo:

The original logo looks like this:

Personally, I think the old tattoo was so much prettier, but I also understand why she wanted to change it :P

(pictures from Google)

Actually she has 2 tattoos. You can see them in her naked talk interview =)

^I don't remember her saying the other one was real.
Maybe I missed it.

I don't remember who asked her if the tattoo on her back was real,
She said yes but it wasn't clear if it was the anniversary one or lower back one.

^ The bottom one is 90% chance of being real; in the Rule making of you can see the big fake tattoo all over her back, and at the bottom of the fake tattoo the ink is a lot darker and with lines underneath; most likely that is the real tattoo underneath.

^
^It is real. You can see it in the Rule making of :yes

[Edit] Ah too late xD AngelSenshi beat me :laugh

here's a picture of it:

Probably yea now that you mention it.
if it's real who knows when she got it.

Amazing! I don't know that there's another tattoo on her lower back. Wow. Imagine if Ayu design a tattoo for me... (in my dreamland now)

OMG!!!! Seriously I'm so shocked!!!! O_O

well, you know in the naked talk shoot she also had two heart tattoos on her hips too, so if the back tattoo is real, maybe those are too.

I was about to bring that up too lol. I remember in the naked talk seeing tattoos in the front as well.

Ugggh. I hope it's not real. It's not really pretty :(

Maybe someone can try to ask her? :D

if they are real, i don't like the design of the tramp stamp (:lech)
i guess it's supposed to be a heart, but it looks like a butt to me :mini

i only like the design of her shoulder tattoo. the wings have nice detail :)

I don't like tramp stamps but hers is pretty :laugh

OMG I never thought that the tattoo at her back was real! oh my, when did she get it! lol.

OMG I'm shocked to see her second tattoo on the bottom.......... Is this really true?

And I found even more. Look at this:

She's got another heart-shaped tattoo...

I've seen this NAKED TALK scans before, but I've never noticed these tattoos. I'm shocked ~.~

^ I think they are real

is it truly real?? the one on the shoulder is well done (and re-done) but that on the back isn't amazing
