There's really something to be said for a good celebrity portrait tattoo.

It's a piece of art made for somebody with enough admiration for a person or character to have it permanently inked onto their skin. That kind of dedication demands the most careful, realistic design that captures everything somebody loves about the person tattooed on them.

We're suckers for good portrait tattoos, so here's 19 celebrities that we can't take our eyes off of.
