- Dakota Johnson has at least 12 tattoos that she's shown on the red carpet via her daring fashion.
- She often wears strapless dresses that show the ink on her back, arms, and neck.
- The actress also seems fond of heeled sandals that reveal her foot tattoos.
At the Venice Film Festival in 2015, Dakota Johnson wore a backless, blush gown that showed her back tattoo.
The daring Prada gown was the perfect dress to showcase her tattoo: a flock of three birds.
According to Page Six, the design might be a tribute to Johnson's grandmother, Tippi Hedren, who starred in Alfred Hitchcock's 1963 film "The Birds."
Later in 2016, Dakota Johnson stepped out in an off-the-shoulder top and updo hairstyle. In doing so, she revealed an easy-to-miss tattoo behind her ear.
Aside from being small, square in shape, and done in black ink, Johnson's fans aren't sure what the actor's ear tattoo is meant to represent, according to Refinery29.
The following year, she wore an ocean-inspired dress that showed two of her tattoos at once.
Her Alexander McQueen gown was made from a cream-colored fabric that was embroidered with designs of whales, seahorses, and other sea creatures. The dress also had short puffed sleeves and a scoop-style neckline.
From the back, you could see Johnson's shoulder tattoo and a small string of letters at the top of her neck. The latter tattoo says "Amor," according to Page Six.
The actress wore a semi-sheer, strapless dress to the Venice Film Festival in 2018, and showed one of her arm tattoos while there.
Her gown, which had a corset-style bodice, was designed by Dior. When she waved to photographers and stepped into a boat while wearing the dress, you could see the tattoo she has on the inner part of her upper arm.
According to Refinery29, the tattoo features the Latin phrase "Acta Non Verba," which translates to "Deeds Not Words."
Johnson took a similar approach later that year when she wore another strapless gown that showed all of her upper-body tattoos.
Her Givenchy look had an asymmetrical metallic bodice, a brown-toned skirt, and a metal belt.
Not only were her ear, neck, and back tattoos visible thanks to the dress, but you could also see the delicate designs on her arm.
She has both the word "tender" and a wilting daisy there. The latter was done by tattoo artist Brian Woo, according to Refinery29.
Months later, Johnson wore a strapless, cherry-print shirt with matching pants for a red-carpet event. While there, she revealed a new arm tattoo.
Around that time, Johnson had the phrase "I love you" tattooed above her elbow. Page Six reported that the ink might have been inspired by her boyfriend Chris Martin.
The outfit also showcased her bird, flower, and "tender" tattoos.
At a movie screening later that year, six of Johnson's tattoos were on display when she wore a Saint Laurent minidress that featured a bow as a top.
Of course, her back and arm tattoos were visible as a result of her dress. But you could also see a tattoo on her right foot.
The actress has "Look At The Moon" tattooed there, as well as twelve small stars.
In September 2019, Johnson revealed two small tattoos on her arm at the Toronto International Film Festival.
Her bold, off-the-shoulder gown designed by Valentino was the perfect dress to contrast her delicate tattoos.
She has "lightly, my darling" — a quote from "Island" by Aldous Huxley — inked above her wrist, and an infinity symbol just beneath her elbow.
As Harper's Bazaar previously reported, Martin seemingly has the same design on his arm.
A new tattoo was seen on Johnson's arm at the September 2021 premiere of "The Lost Daughter."
Johnson walked the red carpet that day in a see-through corset, leather pants, pointed pumps, and a diamond necklace.
While fixing her hair, photographers captured a glimpse at a small tattoo that seemingly says "all seven" in between two of her earlier designs.
Johnson's foot tattoo stole the show despite her daring outfit the following day.
That day, she wore a cream-colored dress with a high slit in its skirt that almost reached her hips. Johnson kept the rest of her look simple, adding only matching heels, a purse, and a black mask.
But by October 2021, it was clear that Johnson actually has two tattoos on her feet.
She attended the UK premiere of "The Lost Daughter" in a custom Gucci gown with a bedazzled overlay, capped sleeves, and feather detailing at the wrists.
She paired the daring dress with tan sandals, through which you can see a small tattoo that says "Brad."
