National Tattoo Day has brought a fresh round of celebrity ink-spotting, with TMZ rolling out a photo gallery built around a simple challenge: match the tattoo to the famous person.
The entertainment outlet says Hollywood is packed with stars who have turned their skin into a personal canvas, and its gallery invites readers to test how well they know those designs without relying on the usual red-carpet clues.
Among the names featured by TMZ are Kehlani, Peggy Gou and Scotty Sire, all presented as part of the site’s tattoo-themed guessing game. The outlet also points to Justin Bieber and Halsey as stars known for their body art, asking readers whether they can identify them from the lineup.
The gallery, titled around celebrity ink and “Guess Who” styling, is hosted on TMZ’s photo section and uses images credited to Getty and Instagram. TMZ describes the stars in the feature as “inked and proud,” while directing readers to launch the gallery to play along.
A tattoo day guessing game
The feature is tied to National Tattoo Day, a celebration that gives tattoo fans a reason to show off designs, debate favorites and revisit the body art attached to public figures. TMZ’s version keeps the focus on recognizable celebrity tattoos rather than tattoo trends or artist profiles.
The format follows the outlet’s long-running celebrity guessing-game style, where cropped images or close-up details are used to prompt readers to identify the person behind the photo. In this case, the clues are tattoos, with the full answers available through the gallery experience.
TMZ also lists the feature under several of its entertainment and culture categories, including Tattoos, Guess Who, Photo Galleries, Internet Culture and Celebrations.
No new comments from the celebrities named in the gallery were included by TMZ. The item is presented as a light National Tattoo Day photo feature rather than an interview or news report about new tattoos.
Readers who want to play can find the celebrity tattoo gallery on TMZ’s website, where the outlet is asking fans to identify which ink belongs to which star.
