Important people with tattoos

[sanctified Veteran]

I'm doing with another person a curatorial project about current important and successful people with tattoos. So far we've collected a list of 26 names but It's obvious that we're missing a lot more. I think Neowin is the perfect place to ask if you know about a CEO with tats.

We will be eternally grateful for your help.

Craig Ferguson [ Late Late Show ]

And 95% of Celebrities in general..

[ wasn't sure if you JUST wanted CEO's or successful people general.. so here you are.. ]

We are avoiding celebrities since these are a given and also the behavior of some of them would totally contradict the point we're trying to get across.

No one? :(

Kat Von D?

Pretty much anyone in a rock band.

Scientists (especially graduates) are often tattood with something related to their field. Of the dozen or so Phds I'd count among my friends; all of the biologist have some sort of DNA/tree-of-life themed tattoo.

Carl Zimmer wrote a book on the topic of scientists and science-themed tattoos:

I don't know any specifically but I'd venture to guess many Presidents or other leaders that were also in military would have tattoos.

Royal tattoo

King Harold II of England had a number of tattoos. After his death at the Battle of Hastings in 1066, his tattoos were used to identify his body.

Many other royals throughout history have been tattooed. In 1862 the Prince of Wales, later King Edward VII, had a Jerusalem Cross tattooed on his arm on a visit to the Holy Land. When his sons, the Duke of Clarence and the Duke of York (later King George V) visited Japan in 1882 they both had dragons tattooed on their arms. Amongst the Russian royal family, Peter the Great, Catherine the Great and Nicholas II all bore tattoos. Archduke Franz Ferdinand, whose assassination sparked the First World War, was also tattooed. Today royal tattoos are less common.

Fashionable tattoos

Winston Churchill's mother, Lady Randolph Churchill, had a snake tattooed on her wrist.

It became fashionable in the late 19th and early 20th centuries for aristocrats, including women, to be tattooed. At the time, tattooing was very expensive and people paid large sums for their designs. Later, as the costs were reduced, tattooing was adopted by the lower classes and the practice fell out of favour with the social elite.

The strategic positioning of Lady Churchill's tattoo meant that she could choose not to display it by wearing a bracelet to cover it.

We hope to uncover some, but with photographic evidence. The main point of the project is against tattoo discrimination.

How is Kat in any way an "important person"?? :|

Off topic but I feel that the tagline of your site "tattoos are not only for thugs" could be reworded to express the same feeling without projecting the archetype of what people associate tattoo wearers being or looking like.
