At first glance, it appears to be a bruise on Lindsay Lohan‘s upper left arm — but the mark is actually the tattooed outline of a little girl with her eyes closed.
We’re told Lohan first went under the needle at the Shamrock Social Club tattoo parlor in Hollywood just a few weeks ago — and ironically chose the image because “she liked the innocence of the girl.”
If you look really closely, or if you are familiar with Mark Ryden‘s art, you can see that it’s one of his paintings she has on her Twitter.

In a true sign of the times, the art world’s current downturn has been bucked by a dead artist unlike any other before or after him—namely, ADOLF HITLER.
In a move straight from the WTF?!? Files, the murderous dead German dictator has made a significant posthumous move in the art world by managing to earn nearly $12,000 USD last week when 15 of his original watercolors—including the self-portrait from 1910 seen here—were put up for auction at MULLOCK’S.
The watercolor was one of 15 items of Hitler art being sold at auction. Together, the artworks by the Nazi leader fetched almost $120,000.
They had expected to raise just under $50,000, auction house Mullock’s of Shropshire estimated.
Many of the pictures were on the market because one of the sellers wanted money to install a new central heating system in his house, a spokesman for the auction house said.
Richard Westwood-Brookes, a historical documents expert at Mullock’s said,
“The watercolors came from a collector who is a regular vendor of ours. He’d forgotten about them for years. He found them in his garage.”
He refused to disclose the identity of the seller, as a matter of policy.
Thirteen watercolors were expected to fetch $580 to $2,200 apiece, while the lone small oil painting was estimated at up to $30,000, the auctioneer estimates.
All of the watercolors shattered expectations — 12 of them selling for between $4,400 and $9,000.
The remaining watercolor — a 1910 painting showing a figure sitting on a stone bridge — fetched almost $15,000. There has been speculation that the figure was a depiction of Hitler himself.
