Angelina Jolie Debuts New Tattoo With a Special Hidden Meaning on an Outing With Her Daughter
Angelina Jolie has always been as much in the limelight for her acting prowess as she has been for her body art, each piece carrying a deeper significance than meets the eye. This weekend was no exception when Jolie debuted a striking new tattoo on the red carpet for opening night of The Outsiders, accompanied by her daughter, Vivienne.
Jolie’s tattoos, known for their personal and sometimes hidden meanings, have long fascinated fans. For instance, the geographical coordinates inked on her arm represent the birthplaces of her children, while the Bengal tiger on her lower back symbolizes her Cambodian citizenship and commitment to wildlife conservation.

The latest addition to her collection is the script “Stay Golden,” a phrase echoing the words of Pony Boy, a character from The Outsiders. This particular choice is not only a tribute to the character but also to a song featured in the show, weaving a layer of artistic homage into her skin.
Jolie wasn’t the sole recipient of this meaningful tattoo. Justin Levine, associated with the production, also brandished the same words, his rendition crafted by renowned tattoo artist Mark Mahoney. Levine shared his excitement on social media, posting a black-and-white photo of the fresh ink with the caption, “Never thought I’d see the day,” seemingly reflecting the profound impact that working on The Outsiders has had on its team.
Several other members of the show’s creative team, including director Danya Taymor, also got the meaningful script tattoo. All tattoos were the handiwork of Mahoney, a close friend of Jolie’s, who is the mastermind behind the Shamrock Social Club, a legendary fixture in the world of tattoo artistry.
With “Stay Golden,” Angelina Jolie and the crew behind The Outsiders have inked their bond and the magic of their creation into skin and memory alike. Mirroring Ponyboy’s iconic mantra to “stay gold,” they’ve captured the essence of their shared adventure — from hurdles to high points — in bringing this classic tale to life.
