Love can make you do some crazy things… like get things tattooed on your body!

Wonderwall.com has put together a list of some of the most infamous celebrity love tattoos, starting with Hollywood A-lister Angelina Jolie. The superstar got second hubby Billy Bob Thornton's name tattooed on her arm during their marriage in the early 2000s. Angie later had the ink removed following their divorce.

"The Big Bang Theory" actress Kaley Cuoco had her wedding date inked in Roman numerals on the back of her neck in 2014 after she married tennis pro Ryan Sweeting.

Big wings," she explained to talk show host Ellen DeGeneres in February 2016. "It's just what I picked out when I was there." That union spawned another tattoo as well…
