British actor and producer Millie Bobby Brown first gained popularity with her role as Eleven in Netflix’s “Stranger Things” and has since become a household name. Since the series’s premiere in 2016, fans have been curious as to who she is dating, what she is studying, and, of course, what’s next for her acting career. Any time the star hits the red carpet, whether for an award show or to promote an upcoming project, people take notice of every detail — including the handful of tiny tattoos often on display. If you’ve ever wondered what each one means, you’re not alone.
Brown is no stranger to tattoos. Her most notable one may be the famous “011” tattoo given to her “Stranger Things” character at the Hawkins lab, but she also has the design in real life. In September 2023, eagle-eyed fans noticed that she had another addition, this time on her inner arm: a cowboy hat design. And before that, she debuted some brand-new ink at the “Enola Holmes 2” premiere in October 2022.
As her collection grows, it’s become clear that Brown is a fan of more dainty and fine-line designs. In a 2022 interview with “Wired”, she notes she has seven tattoos in total, however, we’ve only gotten glimpses of five. All of her known pieces so far err on the more delicate side, regardless of where they are. Her collection is scattered across her collarbone, wrist, ribcage, arm, and back. So if you’re looking for placement inspiration, Brown has you covered.
