The '''[[Marilyn Manson (band)|Marilyn Manson]] Action Figure Series''' spans three years, from 2001 to 2003. They were designed by Yasushi Nirasawa and sculpted by Yoshihiro Saito, in cooperation with Manson himself, and were released by Japanese toy manufacturer Fewture. Initially the figures were only sold in Japan but were later released worldwide in January 2002. The series was also accompanied by a website, [http://www.mansontoy.com/ MansonToy.com], which disappeared by late 2003. The design for each figure is very intricate; each is very well detailed and is a realistic representation of the original sources. Manson stated that he chose Japanese manufacturers because they are "more daring" than toy companies in the US.  
+
Most of '''[[Marilyn Manson]]'s tattoos''' were done by four people: Lou Sciberras, Donovan Stringer, Albert Sgambati and Ken Cameron - who all worked at Tattoos By Lou in South Beach, Miami, Florida. The first nine tattoos were created over a four-year span, beginning in January 1991 until 1995. In the credits of the band's first album ''[[Portrait of an American Family]]'' Albert Sgambati and Donovan Stringer were credited for tattoos, the latter simply referred to as 'Donovan'. All tattoos are listed in the order they were inked.

==''"[[Holy Wood]]"'' Action Figure==

In 2007 Manson had new tattoos inked for the first time in 11 years.

[[Image:Fig.jpg|thumb|left|160px|The "''Holy Wood''" Action Figure]]

−
The ''Holy Wood'' figure was the first of the series; it was released worldwide on January 10, 2002. It is perhaps the most intricate and interactive in the series, after the ''Mechanical Animals'' figure. The figure portrays [[Marilyn Manson|Manson]] as he appeared in a promotional photo by [[Perou]] for [[Holy Wood]]. Both arms include only Manson's [[Marilyn Manson's tattoos#Cyaegha|cyaegha tattoos]], despite the fact that Manson had nine tattoos at the time of this portrayal. Parts of the torso and head seem to be comprised of scales instead of skin. The center of the chest presents a gunshot wound through the heart, which if seen from a certain angle, is totally empty, as the wound covers from chest to backside; on the backside the surroundings of the gunshot wound look infected. Since the original picture the ''Holy Wood'' figure was based on only covered head to torso, the lower part of the body was presented as the tree-like skirt worn in "[[The Nobodies]]" music video. The legs are covered with a yellowish fur, with straps all over it. Underneath mechanical claws and tentacles emerge, in a style that is reminiscent of H.R. Giger's artwork. The tentacles too are intricately detailed.

| Baphomet
 +
| [[Image:Baphomet.jpg|125px|Baphomet tattoo]]
 +
| On Manson's 21st birthday, band member and friend [[Gidget Gein]] took him to Tattoos By Lou in Miami, Florida to get his first tattoo. At this same session, Gein got a Creepy Crawly Spider tattooed on his wrist. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baphomet| Baphomet] became known in the nineteenth century when it was applied to pseudo-historical conspiracy theories elaborating on the suppression of the Templars, and it became associated with a "Sabbatic Goat" image drawn by Eliphas Lévi. The tattoo appears on his upper left arm, under The Lucky Devil.
 +
|-
 +
| Spooky Tree
 +
|
 +
| Also on Manson's 21st birthday, Manson requested a second tattoo that would mark his retribution. He presented to Lou Sciberras a rough drawing of a spooky tree reminiscent of a tree that appeared in several of the band's promotional ads, explaining how it had been copied without his authorization by a man referred to as Carl, who had persistently been imitating Manson. Having the image inked onto himself was Manson's effort to permanently copyright his own creation. Later, a skull was added as an extension of this tree, making the tree appear to be rooting from the skull. The tattoo appears across the outside of his right arm.
 +
|-
 +
| Cyaegha
 +
| [[Image:Cyaegha.jpg|125px|Cyaegha tattoo]]
 +
| In July 1991, Manson and Gein returned to Tattoos By Lou where Manson would receive his third and fourth tattoos, where tattoo artist Donovan Stringer was presented with Manson's pre-drawn art interpreting the Western German mythic creature formally called "Cyaegha the Great Old One". Both tattoos are typically comprised of a circular green eye at the center of a mass of black tentacles, each one slightly varied from the other. Reportedly, the right arm was tattooed first, and both were done in the same session. The fee was reportedly $50.00 and a six-pack of Heineken brew. The tattoos appear across the inside of both lower arms.
 +
|-
 +
| Cyclops
 +
| [[Image:Cyclops.jpg|125px|Cyclops tattoo]]
 +
| Sometime in 1991, Manson returned to Tattoos By Lou (possibly with Gein once again, but this is unconfirmed) to receive his fifth work of body art. The tattooing was performed by [http://www.albertsgambati.com Albert Sgambati] and depicted the head of a cyclops ([[Marilyn Manson & the Spooky Kids]] had previously recorded a song [[Cyclops|bearing the same name]]). The tattoo appears on his right shoulder.
 +
|-
 +
| The Lucky Devil
 +
| [[Image:TheLuckyDevil.jpg|95px|The Lucky Devil tattoo]]
 +
| Sometime around September 1993, Manson and [http://www.albertsgambati.com Sgambati] began collaborating on artwork that would become Manson's sixth and most flamboyant tattoo. The Lucky Devil depicts a grinning red devil amongst a horseshoe with '1' and '3' at each respective end. Above the devil's head is an 8-ball and below it three dice, each displaying the number '6'. Staying ever mindful of how it would look onstage, Manson still gave Albert lots of freedom with the elements surrounding the devil's head. The tattoo appears on his left shoulder.
 +
|-
 +
| Skull
 +
| [[File:SkullTree.jpg|100px|Skull and Tree tattoos]]
 +
| Sometime during mid-1993, Manson came to notice a sketch [http://www.albertsgambati.com Albert Sgambati] had been working on, depicting a long and narrow skull. The tattoo became Manson's seventh tattoo, and would become an addition of a previously inked tattoo, a deviated tree. The tattoo appears across the outside of his right arm.
 +
|-
 +
| Uncle Creepy
 +
| [[File:UncleCreepy.jpg|124px|Uncle Creepy and Cobweb tattoos]]
 +
| In Fall 1994, Manson had been looking into getting a tattoo of ''Uncle Creepy'',  the narrator character and "host" of the Warren Comics horror magazine, Creepy.  Manson approached longtime tattoo artist [http://www.albertsgambati.com Albert Sgambati] in regards to the tattoo, but Sgambati was unable to come up with a satisfactory drawing. Fellow Tattoos By Lou artist Ken Cameron (southbeachtattoo.com) drew the design directly on Manson's arm and Manson decided to have Ken Cameron do the tattoo instead. The tattoo appears across the outside of his lower left arm.
 +
|-
 +
| Cobweb
 +
| [[Image:Manson_spider_web_tattoo.jpg|135px|Cobweb tattoo]]
 +
| It is widely believed that this simple tattoo depicting a cobweb was won by Manson as a bonus for winning the award for Best Vocalist at the Slammie Awards in Florida on [[1994/07/03 Fort Lauderdale, FL|July 3, 1994]]. However this is uncertain due to the fact that the tattoo offer was offered by Outrageous Tattoos, whereas all of Manson's tattoos by this point were inked by Tattoos By Lou. An alternative to the theory on the artist responsible is that Ken Cameron returned to ink it in conjunction with the Uncle Creepy tattoo, similar to the case of the Skull and Tree tattoo. The tattoo appears on his left wrist.
 +
|-
 +
| Beezlebub
 +
| [[Image:RedFly.jpg|150px|Beelzebub tattoo]]
 +
| In Spring 1995, Manson returned to Tattoos By Lou to attain what would be his tenth and last tattoo for well over 11 years, inked again by [http://www.albertsgambati.com Albert Sgambati]. This tattoo depicts Beelzebub, the Lord of the Flies. While not directly a fly, two eighteenth century magical textbooks, the ''Grimorium Verum'' and the ''Grand Grimoure'', state that the supreme trinity of evil consists of Lucifer, Beelzebub and Astaroth. When summoned by a magician, Beelzebub appears in the form of a huge fly, allegedly. The tattoo appears on his upper right arm, under the Cyclops.
 +
|-
 +
| Spiral Heart
 +
| [[Image:SpiralHeart.jpg|80px|Spiral Heart tattoo]]
 +
| On [[Significance of Valentine's Day to Marilyn Manson|February 14]], 2007 - over 11 years since his last tattoo - Manson had a new tattoo inked on his left wrist at the same time [[Evan Rachel Wood]] had her thigh tattooed in a joint session at their home. It is a simple tattoo of a spiral heart used throughout the ''[[Eat Me, Drink Me]]'' era, possibly derived from/inspired by the 1935 horror film "Mad Love", though it is unknown as to who the artist is that did this tattoo. It stands for [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0026663/ mad love] and Manson stated that If he'd want to cut himself he will break someone's heart.
 +
|-
 +
| Totenkopf
 +
| [[Image:K_tat_2.jpg|85px|Totenkopf tattoo]]
 +
| During the [[Rape of the World]] tour interim period Manson had a new tattoo inked depicting a green skull by [http://www.myspace.com/tokyohiro Tokyo Hiro] could be found on his upper right arm. The tattoo is identical to the Death's Head included in the [[Celebritarian Corporation|Celebritarian]] imagery of 2006 ([http://mansonwiki.com/wiki/index.php/Image:Celebritarian.jpg example]).
 +
|-
 +
| Butterfly
 +
| [[Image:butterflyskull.jpg|100px|Butterfly tattoo]]
 +
| Manson had a tattoo of a skull butterfly designed by Martin Emond tattooed on his left wrist. A picture of the full tattoo still has to appear. The tattoo was done by "Dark Mark" of [http://myspace.com/illicittattoo Illicit Tattoo's] (now of [http://sacredtattooshop.com/home.html Sacred Tattoo]) in Auckland City, New Zealand. A picture of Manson getting the butterfly tattoo inked can be seen [http://mansonwiki.com/wiki/index.php/Image:IllicitTattoo.jpg here].

 +
| WOW
 +
| [[Image:WOWTattoo.jpg|110px|WOW tattoo]]
 +
| On April 20, 2009, TMZ spotted Marilyn Manson at an airport sporting a new tattoo on his outer right wrist which reads "WOW", likely in reference to [[WOW|the song of the same name]] from ''[[The High End of Low]]''. Manson has since stated that the tattoo was inked because of how many times the word is said.
 +
|-
 +
| Tursaansydän
 +
| [[Image:Tursas.png|95px|Tursaansydän tattoo]]
 +
| As revealed in the liner notes for ''The High End of Low'', Manson has received a fourteenth tattoo. This depicts a tursaansydän, a symbol believed to bring good luck and protect from curses, and incorporates a swastika in its center. Tursaansydän has been used in Finland for centuries as a magical symbol, often carved on wood, and its still used today.

| Manson also described in the May 2009 interview with Noisecreep the "etc." tattoo he had inked on his inner-right wrist. He explained, "I've seen on the news, stories about death, rape, murder and they tack on the 'et cetera.,' which shocks and amuses me. Such terrible things have become mundane and reduced people to 'etc.,'. I got 'et cetera' tattooed on my wrist. If I cut my wrist, I would cut through 'etc.,' which is triply ironic."<ref name="Nosecreep"/>

The figure also includes a rifle, a sheep with two heads and ostrich-like legs, as well as the Mercury symbol on its body, a pair of regular leather pants and boots, which can be used instead of the fur and tentacles that initially cover Manson's legs, and an additional head, similar to the regular one, but with a massive head wound through which Manson's brain can be seen. When analyzed closely, even a fetus is included inside the wound. This head is an allusion to the one of the back cover of vinyl ''Holy Wood (In the Shadow of the Valley of Death)'' release, and also the "[[Autopsy]]" video.

==''"[[Mechanical Animals]]"'' Action Figure==

===Trivia===
−
[[Image:MAFIG.JPG|thumb|right|The "''Mechanical Animals''" Action Figure]]
+
* Manson stated his intention to have a self-appropriated mantra titled "Together As One, Against All Others" tattooed onto his back on January 7, 2008, as a belated birthday gift from Evan Rachel Wood. It was to be inked, according to Manson, by Jonathan Shaw, a personal friend of Manson's. Seemingly, however - and possibly due to Shaw's extended stay in Brazil - the tattoo has not yet been inked as when Manson revealed his lower back during the Rape of the World tour in March 2008 there was no tattoo.
−
This is perhaps the most popular of the four figures. The figure portrays Manson as [[Omega|Omēga]], the androgynous extraterrestrial shown on the ''[[Mechanical Animals]]'' album cover, and the music video for "[[The Dope Show]]". This is a stand-out figure as its body from neck to toe can be completely disassembled; the inside is translucent-green with a robot-like design. Two holes are made so the owner can introduce the translucent-purple brain located in the stomach, and the translucent-green heart.
+
* On February 8, 2008, online magazine [http://www.gigwise.com/ GIGWISE] made a list of the 30 greatest tattoo's in music, with Manson on 10th place. The full list can be seen [http://www.gigwise.com/news/40660/the-greatest-tattoos-in-music-revealed here].
  
−
The figure also includes two pills, green and translucent, which read Coma (reminiscent of the image on ''Mechanical Animals'''s disc). As do all four figures, it contains a removable head; the original head is of the red-haired Omēga, and the second head is of Omēga with two black tubes emerging from its mouth (as seen in the limousine where he is carried away to stardom in the music video for "The Dope Show"). One of the masked men who captured Omēga in the music video is included in the package, along with an immobilizing rod the men used in the video. The figure is considerably smaller than the other figures. The arms, legs and body, including Omēga's infamous breasts are separated so they can be removed; the legs and arms are each divided in two parts.

==''"[[The Beautiful People]]"'' Action Figure==
+
−
[[Image:Beautifulfig.jpg|thumb|left|"''The Beautiful People''" Action Figure]]
+
−
This figure portrays Manson with his [[The Beautiful People|Beautiful people]] and [[Antichrist Superstar]] tour outfit, a corset and gloves with straps, in a mummy like fashion. the legs have ripped stockings and boots, while the hands have the nails meticulously painted black. the head has long black hair, an angry expression, lenses correctly detailed and a black stripe descending from the mouth, muscles from the back are very detailed, the chest even has Manson's brand like scar, colored in an orange tone. Items are a pair of stilts, with arm support, both include straps so they can secure the figure, when placed, they make the figure significantly taller, and it looks just like Manson did when he performed "[[Kinderfeld]]" in the [[Dead to the World Tour]]. Both hands are removable, the second pair are closed fists, which must be used with the stilts, to grab them. the second head is the most well known Floria Sigismondi collaboration with Manson picture, and one of Manson's most shocking images to date, as can be seen in The Beautiful People video, Manson wearing a strange black leather cap, a bizarre mouth instrument which opens his mouth painfully, revealing silver teeth. this is the head that must be placed with the stilts. Companion features one of the bald faceless dancers seen in the video, with black like skin and long skirt, the figure comes with a holding base, as the main figure does too.

==''"[[Disposable Teens]]"'' Action Figure==
+
−
[[Image:DisposableTeensFigure.jpg|thumb|right|The "''Disposable Teens''" Action Figure]]
+
−
The Disposable Teens Figure is designed closely after Manson's appearance in the video of the same name. The face has the Tau cross, silver colored covering the forehead and nose. lips are open partially revealing teeth and long black hair. The head is attached to a peacock feather with a soft veil. when removed, chest is revealed, with the scar in it's place. Both hands are semi flexed, the torso has a black corset on, black leather pants with high heel boots are on, with a bizarre detail on the crotch, a sea like animal or decoration. Second head features the one seen at the beginning of the [[Disposable Teens]] Video, Manson with long black hair and sharp silver teeth. The hair was put on the back in a manner to indicate wetness, and the forehead was added thin black lines similar to the ones Manson wore in the [[Smells Like Children]] Era. Items include replacement arm and leg, both prosthetical like, wooden and spiked. the consistence of the prosthetic replacements is very different to the one of the rest of the figure. A hook with a clinging Heart is included, as seen on the video. the Heart is well detailed, including veins. Companion is the monkey seen on the video next to the Bishop Manson, the small figure includes a cross on it's back and a removable leaves crown.

* McFarlane Toys was initially supposed to release the action figure series. Todd McFarlane comments, "Before we could put the ideas in the oven, Manson isolated himself for the creation of the ''Mechanical Animals'' album and the plans were later turned down."
+
−
* The contract with Fewture ended before more figures were produced, but speculation circulated that a, action figure of ''[[The Golden Age of Grotesque]]'' era had been considered. The figure would have been Manson in his appearance of the music video for "[[This Is the New Shit]]", with a replaceable head of Manson's Mickey Mouse-eared blackface appearance, also from the music video.

−
* The ''Mechanical Animals'' figure appears in the music video for the Sum 41 song "Hell Song", which features an assortment of other action figures as well.
+
−
* The rifle included with the ''Holy Wood'' action figure which was inspired by promotional photos for the album. The rifle Manson holds in the original photos was used by his father during the Vietnam War.

* [[Dita Von Teese]] used the ''"Mechanical Animals"'' figure during a photo shoot for ''Blender'' magazine in 2006

Baphomet Tattoo - 1991.

Most of Marilyn Manson's tattoos were done by four people: Lou Sciberras, Donovan Stringer, Albert Sgambati and Ken Cameron - who all worked at Tattoos By Lou in South Beach, Miami, Florida. The first nine tattoos were created over a four-year span, beginning in January 1991 until 1995. In the credits of the band's first album Portrait of an American Family Albert Sgambati and Donovan Stringer were credited for tattoos, the latter simply referred to as 'Donovan'. All tattoos are listed in the order they were inked.

In 2007 Manson had new tattoos inked for the first time in 11 years.

The list of tattoos

Baphomet Baphomet tattoo On Manson's 21st birthday, band member and friend Gidget Gein took him to Tattoos By Lou in Miami, Florida to get his first tattoo. At this same session, Gein got a Creepy Crawly Spider tattooed on his wrist. Baphomet became known in the nineteenth century when it was applied to pseudo-historical conspiracy theories elaborating on the suppression of the Templars, and it became associated with a "Sabbatic Goat" image drawn by Eliphas Lévi. The tattoo appears on his upper left arm, under The Lucky Devil.
Spooky Tree Also on Manson's 21st birthday, Manson requested a second tattoo that would mark his retribution. He presented to Lou Sciberras a rough drawing of a spooky tree reminiscent of a tree that appeared in several of the band's promotional ads, explaining how it had been copied without his authorization by a man referred to as Carl, who had persistently been imitating Manson. Having the image inked onto himself was Manson's effort to permanently copyright his own creation. Later, a skull was added as an extension of this tree, making the tree appear to be rooting from the skull. The tattoo appears across the outside of his right arm.
Cyaegha Cyaegha tattoo In July 1991, Manson and Gein returned to Tattoos By Lou where Manson would receive his third and fourth tattoos, where tattoo artist Donovan Stringer was presented with Manson's pre-drawn art interpreting the Western German mythic creature formally called "Cyaegha the Great Old One". Both tattoos are typically comprised of a circular green eye at the center of a mass of black tentacles, each one slightly varied from the other. Reportedly, the right arm was tattooed first, and both were done in the same session. The fee was reportedly $50.00 and a six-pack of Heineken brew. The tattoos appear across the inside of both lower arms.
Cyclops Cyclops tattoo Sometime in 1991, Manson returned to Tattoos By Lou (possibly with Gein once again, but this is unconfirmed) to receive his fifth work of body art. The tattooing was performed by Albert Sgambati and depicted the head of a cyclops (Marilyn Manson & the Spooky Kids had previously recorded a song bearing the same name). The tattoo appears on his right shoulder.
The Lucky Devil The Lucky Devil tattoo Sometime around September 1993, Manson and Sgambati began collaborating on artwork that would become Manson's sixth and most flamboyant tattoo. The Lucky Devil depicts a grinning red devil amongst a horseshoe with '1' and '3' at each respective end. Above the devil's head is an 8-ball and below it three dice, each displaying the number '6'. Staying ever mindful of how it would look onstage, Manson still gave Albert lots of freedom with the elements surrounding the devil's head. The tattoo appears on his left shoulder.
Skull Skull and Tree tattoos Sometime during mid-1993, Manson came to notice a sketch Albert Sgambati had been working on, depicting a long and narrow skull. The tattoo became Manson's seventh tattoo, and would become an addition of a previously inked tattoo, a deviated tree. The tattoo appears across the outside of his right arm.
Uncle Creepy Uncle Creepy and Cobweb tattoos In Fall 1994, Manson had been looking into getting a tattoo of Uncle Creepy, the narrator character and "host" of the Warren Comics horror magazine, Creepy. Manson approached longtime tattoo artist Albert Sgambati in regards to the tattoo, but Sgambati was unable to come up with a satisfactory drawing. Fellow Tattoos By Lou artist Ken Cameron (southbeachtattoo.com) drew the design directly on Manson's arm and Manson decided to have Ken Cameron do the tattoo instead. The tattoo appears across the outside of his lower left arm.
Cobweb Cobweb tattoo It is widely believed that this simple tattoo depicting a cobweb was won by Manson as a bonus for winning the award for Best Vocalist at the Slammie Awards in Florida on July 3, 1994. However this is uncertain due to the fact that the tattoo offer was offered by Outrageous Tattoos, whereas all of Manson's tattoos by this point were inked by Tattoos By Lou. An alternative to the theory on the artist responsible is that Ken Cameron returned to ink it in conjunction with the Uncle Creepy tattoo, similar to the case of the Skull and Tree tattoo. The tattoo appears on his left wrist.
Beezlebub Beelzebub tattoo In Spring 1995, Manson returned to Tattoos By Lou to attain what would be his tenth and last tattoo for well over 11 years, inked again by Albert Sgambati. This tattoo depicts Beelzebub, the Lord of the Flies. While not directly a fly, two eighteenth century magical textbooks, the Grimorium Verum and the Grand Grimoure, state that the supreme trinity of evil consists of Lucifer, Beelzebub and Astaroth. When summoned by a magician, Beelzebub appears in the form of a huge fly, allegedly. The tattoo appears on his upper right arm, under the Cyclops.
Spiral Heart Spiral Heart tattoo On February 14, 2007 - over 11 years since his last tattoo - Manson had a new tattoo inked on his left wrist at the same time Evan Rachel Wood had her thigh tattooed in a joint session at their home. It is a simple tattoo of a spiral heart used throughout the Eat Me, Drink Me era, possibly derived from/inspired by the 1935 horror film "Mad Love", though it is unknown as to who the artist is that did this tattoo. It stands for mad love and Manson stated that If he'd want to cut himself he will break someone's heart.
Totenkopf Totenkopf tattoo During the Rape of the World tour interim period Manson had a new tattoo inked depicting a green skull by Tokyo Hiro could be found on his upper right arm. The tattoo is identical to the Death's Head included in the Celebritarian imagery of 2006 (example).
Butterfly Butterfly tattoo Manson had a tattoo of a skull butterfly designed by Martin Emond tattooed on his left wrist. A picture of the full tattoo still has to appear. The tattoo was done by "Dark Mark" of Illicit Tattoo's (now of Sacred Tattoo) in Auckland City, New Zealand. A picture of Manson getting the butterfly tattoo inked can be seen here.
WOW WOW tattoo On April 20, 2009, TMZ spotted Marilyn Manson at an airport sporting a new tattoo on his outer right wrist which reads "WOW", likely in reference to the song of the same name from The High End of Low. Manson has since stated that the tattoo was inked because of how many times the word is said.
Tursaansydän Tursaansydän tattoo As revealed in the liner notes for The High End of Low, Manson has received a fourteenth tattoo. This depicts a tursaansydän, a symbol believed to bring good luck and protect from curses, and incorporates a swastika in its center. Tursaansydän has been used in Finland for centuries as a magical symbol, often carved on wood, and its still used today.
15 15 tattoo Manson revealed in a May 2009 interview with Noisecreep that he received another tattoo, which reads "15", behind his ear, describing it as "the new number of the beast."[1] Manson's Fiancée Evan Rachel Wood also has "15" tattooed behind one of her ears, as well.
etc. etc. tattoo Manson also described in the May 2009 interview with Noisecreep the "etc." tattoo he had inked on his inner-right wrist. He explained, "I've seen on the news, stories about death, rape, murder and they tack on the 'et cetera.,' which shocks and amuses me. Such terrible things have become mundane and reduced people to 'etc.,'. I got 'et cetera' tattooed on my wrist. If I cut my wrist, I would cut through 'etc.,' which is triply ironic."[1]
Kot Kot tattoo The first new tattoo was published on the 28th February, 2011 by L.A Weekly in their blog. According to the book "Criminal Tattoos" this tattoo came from Russian criminal culture. It includes a cat with glasses, a rose, knife and a nazi swastika on the hat. [2] According to the "Russian Criminal Tattoo Encyclopaedia" by Danzig Baldayev, the meaning of this tattoo is "I turned 18 in prison".
M-Swastika M-Swastika Another tattoo has been discovered on his neck in various photos in early February, 2011. The Born Villain tattoo is located directly above Manson's heart.
No Reason No Reason tattoo Manson was pictured by L.A. Times photographer Lawrence K. Ho in May 2012 with the words "No Reason," a recurring lyric in the song "Overneath the Path of Misery," inked on his left wrist directly above his Spiral Heart tattoo. Friend Johnny Depp shares the same tattoo on his arm. It has been reported that Damien Echols shares the same tattoo. Template:Unconfirmed
The Les Fleurs du Mal The Les Fleurs du Mal painting Manson said in an interview that he and friend Johnny Depp share a tattoo based on the artwork of Les Fleurs Du Mal (The Flowers Of Evil) by Charles Baudelaire. The tattoo has yet to be seen in it's full form, and is located on the back of each man.
Celebritarian Cross C cross tattoo 2.jpg In December 2012 a Russian fansite [3] uploaded an image of Marilyn Manson with a celebritarian cross on his back, below his hairline and above where the Les Fleurs du Mal tattoo would be.
Solve Coagula Solve Coagula tattoo In January 2014, Manson revealed new tattoos that goes from the back edge of his hands to his wrists. The term originates from Solve et Coagula, an alchemy reference. Roughly translated, it means "Dissolve and join together" or transmutation. The tattoo was done at Will Rise Studio in L.A.
Fated, Faithful, Fatal Template:Unconfirmed
Death's Head (Acherontia atropos) Death's Head Moth Tattoo As of Jan. 13th, 2016, a new tattoo of a Death's Head Moth appeared on Manson's left collarbone above the Born Villain tattoo.

Trivia

  • Manson stated his intention to have a self-appropriated mantra titled "Together As One, Against All Others" tattooed onto his back on January 7, 2008, as a belated birthday gift from Evan Rachel Wood. It was to be inked, according to Manson, by Jonathan Shaw, a personal friend of Manson's. Seemingly, however - and possibly due to Shaw's extended stay in Brazil - the tattoo has not yet been inked as when Manson revealed his lower back during the Rape of the World tour in March 2008 there was no tattoo.
  • On February 8, 2008, online magazine GIGWISE made a list of the 30 greatest tattoo's in music, with Manson on 10th place. The full list can be seen here.
