Image for Etched on Barbara

Most people make do with the occasional photograph, but Barbara Mori has found a unique way of ensuring she carries her memories with her forever. The sultry actress has etched all her important moments in the form of tattoos.

“I have a tattoo for each special moment,” says Barbara. “Hrithik and Sussanne introduced me to tattoos first. I have three six-pointed Star of David tattoos on my hand.”

Holding out her right hand, Barb recounts the different times she got the tattoos etched. “I got the first star when I went with Rakesh Roshan. The central one was with Anurag Basu and the last star was when I went with Hrithik and Sussanne. They indicate the love and friendship that I share with all four of them. Then I have a moon and a star behind my ears. I have one more tattoo of a snake on my ankles,” the actress reveals.

The actress also got inked by tattoo expert Sameer Patange, who gave Barb and her brother a tattoo of a Hindi word denoting sibling love on their forearms.

When Barb returns to Mexico, she’ll have a lot of memories to take back with her.
