Tattoo for Kristen Bell
Her spouse has a tattoo of Kristen Bell’s name on his finger.
Dax, Bell’s husband, decided to forgo the traditional wedding band in favor of a tiny bell tattooed onto his ring finger on his left hand. He did this shortly after they got married in 2013. This is due to the reasons he gave:
“I don’t like wearing jewelry, but I felt obliged to warn all the men that I’m taken. So, I thought a tattoo would be fitting. And her last name conveniently is an object I could tattoo. And there’s little letters in there.”
The actress remembered, “one random evening he came home with a bell tattooed on his ring finger with my initial, our first daughter’s initial and—our second daughter wasn’t born yet, but he put a D, so we were a little cornered and we named her Delta… I think that’s cute.”
The Tatted Spouse, Dax Shepard (Kristen Bell’s Husband)
Now just because Kristen Bell’s tattoos are fake doesn’t mean we don’t have anything to talk about. Her husband and famous actor, Dax Shepard, have a whole collection that we can check out.
Dax Shepard got the big tree tattoo on his upper right arm. He did this around the year 2010. He claims that the tree design covers up “a previous terrible tattoo,” a tribal design.
As he told Roger Caitlin, “I have a knack for predicting what tattoos will be douchey in ten years.” It has been speculated that his big tree tattoo represents ideals from his show “Parenthood,” which centers on the challenges and rewards of parenting and family.
Dax’s ring finger features what is arguably the cutest tattoo of all time. He got a tattoo of a bell to commemorate his marriage to actress Kristen Bell. What’s with Kristen Bell and the bell tattoo? It’s a visual of her last name and it’s so lovable it’s ridiculous. In addition, he has the initials—K, L, and D—inscribed in it to celebrate himself, his wife Kristen, and their son Lincoln.
He joked on Ellen DeGeneres’s show ” I don’t like wearing jewelry, but I felt obliged to warn all the men that I’m taken … I thought a tattoo would be fitting. And her last name, conveniently, is an object I could tattoo” (per Daily Mail).
He also sports a tattoo of four stars on his bicep of his left arm. Though the significance of this piece of body art is something he has never addressed, they are cool works of art.
