The Hollywood star has a shoulder tattoo inspired by ‘The Giving Tree.’ He previously revealed that his mom would read the children’s story when he was a child. “That story’s the worst . . . I don’t want to be the tree,” he said to Vulture in 2010.

His forearm ink is actually a homemade tattoo. The actor said to The Guardian in 2010 that it was meant to be a monster’s hand dropping a bleeding heart.

The actor has another homemade tattoo of a barcode on his left wrist, which he usually covers with his watch. “A tattoo should never be meaningful, because at a certain point you’re going to hate it, and it might as well make you laugh.” he said to The Guardian.
