Channing Tatum’s One Matching Tattoo

Channing Tatum is considered one of the most attractive actors in Hollywood. The young, muscular star is very talented, and he is also known for his skills as a professional dancer, as well as his athletic abilities and his short modelling career. Channing has played a variety of roles in myriad films, ranging from action flicks to romantic dramas and even comedies. His versatility as an actor keeps him in demand, and he already has several years of experience behind him, along with a very bright future ahead.

While he has been seen with many tattoos, ranging in size from small to large, and inked on all over his arms and torso, many times, these tattoos are nothing more than fake ones that were painted on for specific roles he has had to play in his movies. While some fans may be disappointed to find that he does not have many tattoos in real life, others are glad to see he is keeping his body clean of ink.

Meeting His Wife

Channing Tatum met his wife, Jenna Dewan, while they were both acting the lead roles in the film Step Up. After the movie was completed and released, they maintained their relationship and later married in Malibu in 2009. They then went on a short honeymoon to Bali, where they thought they would enjoy paradise together for a while, but things did not go according to plan at all. In the end, though, that is where Channing got his one and only tattoo.

The Story Behind the Tattoo

While Channing and his wife Jenna never imagined that they would end up spending their honeymoon getting matching tattoos, that is exactly what happened after their trip took a major turn for the worse. On the very first day of their journey, Channing ended up coming down with food poisoning, and a couple of days later, Jenna, too, fell ill.

To make the best of such a terrible situation, the couple decided to get matching tattoos to commemorate the experience and to maintain a healthy sense of humour about it. While other people may not have been so happy with this kind of honeymoon situation, Channing and Jenna really did not let it get to them.

The Matching Tattoo

The matching tattoo that Channing got with his wife is a very simple one that simply reads “Side by Side.” But just because they got matching tattoos does not mean that they got them on the same body parts. Instead, Jenna got the tattoo on her foot while Channing got his inked onto the top of his ribcage. But the phrase is actually written in Balinese, making it look more interesting than a typical tattoo of just a phrase, and Channing has even joked that it may not really say “side by side” after all.

Matching Ring Finger Tattoos

Channing and Jenna may also have yet another set of matching tattoos, this time on their ring fingers. The tattoos reportedly say “Twin” in white ink, but we have yet to find photos of these tattoos to be absolutely sure they exist.
