First on the list of Viggo Mortensen tattoos are the letter V-E-H done in a bleeding heart on his left bicep. The V stands for Viggo, E is for Exene, his ex-wife and the H represents Henry, their son. Exene Cervenka was the lead singer for X, an American punk band that became active in 1977. Viggo and Exene met in 1986 and they were married a year later on July 8th, 1987. In January 1988, Exene gave birth to Henry, their son, and the couple split up four years later in 1992. After a lengthy separation, they were finally officially divorced in 1997.

H Tattoo

The next piece in the collection of Viggo Mortensen tattoos is a capital H on his wrist. When his son Henry was first learning how to spell and write his name, Mortensen says that he would go around writing a capital H on everything, including his father. One day, Henry drew this letter H on Mortensen’s wrist so instead of washing it off, he went to the tattoo parlor and had the tattooist trace over it.

Nine Tattoo

Like the rest of the crew who spent an extraordinary amount of time together in New Zealand, filming the trilogy of Lord of the Rings, there is the word nine written in Elvish writing that is included in the collection of Viggo Mortensen tattoos. On the last day of filing, the nine actors had this tattoo done together, his happens to be on his shoulder.

Other Tattoos

There is a black crescent moon tattooed on Mortensen’s left hip however, the reason for this piece is unknown. There is also rumored to be some permanent ink on his lower back however, this has yet to be confirmed. Last on the list of Viggo Mortensen tattoos is a fist and barbed wire on his left shoulder, another piece with a mysterious meaning.
