Carlos Irwin Estévez professionally known as Charlie Sheen is an American actor. Sheen has appeared in numerous films and has been gracing the world with his presence in Acting, Songwriting, Screenwriting, Film production, and lately a career in Standup Comedy. Charlie Sheen has picked up a notoriety for being a Hollywood “bad boy” through his wild lifestyle. Charlie’s fiance is not fond of few of his inks and he has already planned to get some of them removed in the future. According to the New York Post’s Page Six, the once hard-partying actor doesn’t remember getting some of the tats, like the stingray on his left ankle or the dragon wearing glasses. A tat of a wooden sign nailed to his chest above his heart reads, ‘Back in 15 minutes.’ He has an estimated 13-plus tattoos plastered over his body. Let us take a quick look at his crazy tattoos and study the stories behind them.

Tattoo: The left side of Charlie Sheen’s chest contains a tattoo of a wooden sign held with a giant nail that comes with the phrase, “BACK IN 15 MIN”.

Meaning: Charlie turned up at a Hollywood tattoo parlor at midnight, as it was closing, and explained he wanted a tattoo of an ashtray on his chest, the smoke from a cigarette trailing up over his pectoral muscle. But somehow, when it was finished at six in the morning, the design had been supplanted by the wooden sign.

And somehow it went to a sign and then I had to find a logo and because it was over the heart I thought it would be really symbolic that it represented my commitment toÉ committing.’ Back in 15 minutes.
