Gillian Anderson has two tattoo designs which i am aware of, including two small tribal turtles on the inside of her right ankle, they are a sacred symbol from a native group on the island of Tahiti, which is where she had the tattoo done.
She also has a tattoo on her right wrist, of the Sanskrit symbol for "every day".
Gillian was quoted as say "It was painful, it felt like I was at the dentist and they were drilling into my bone".
