The tattoo that Dunham probably has discussed most is the tattoo on her arm of Ferdinand the Bull, from the children's book "Ferdinand the Bull."
"I have tattoos from children's books all over my arms and torso," she told The New York Times in 2012. "The biggest one is of Ferdinand the bull, which Elliott Smith also had, but his was a different page. What a good message that book has! Just be yourself and don't gore anyone with your horns if you don't feel like it."
Other tattoos that Dunham has accumulated over the years include a teardrop on her left index finger, a cartoon of the character Eloise (Dunham's first-ever tattoo), an ornamental cross on her right wrist, two houses on her back, and a quote that reads "To the cross, to the prison, to the grave, to sky," on her thigh, amongst others (via Body Art Guru).
Dunham's most recent significant tattoo is likely the one she got on the back of her neck in 2019 that reads "SICK," spelled out with a drawing of rope. "Sometimes the thing you're most scared of being called is the best thing you can call yourself," Dunham wrote in her Instagram post, celebrating the new tattoo (via Women's Health).
So does Dunham have any advice for fellow tattoo-seekers? Maybe avoid getting tattoos from drunk guys, as a "drunk guy" did the one tattoo she regrets — an illustration of a children's book (via People).
