Jeremy Allen White has 6 tattoos on his body. He got different tattoos at various stages of his life, including a triangle, the ‘Buddy & Billie’ tattoo, a hummingbird, the initials ‘R.W.’, the letters ‘EZ’, and the word ‘Sweet’. The triangle tattoo on his chest is one of his first tattoos, and he got it when he was 17. His character in the show Shameless also ended up having the tattoo because it was hard to cover up, as it was poorly done.


The Buddy & Billie tattoo on his upper forearm is a heart with an arrow, dedicated to his ex-wife Addison Timlin. He has a Hummingbird tattoo with Ezer written on it and it is dedicated to his daughter. In an interview with InStyle, he shared that he got this tattoo when his wife told him she was pregnant. Other than that, he has a tattoo of the letters ‘R.W.’ on his shoulders, the letters ‘EZ’ on his inner biceps, and the word ‘Sweet’ on his shoulder. He hasn’t revealed the meaning of these tattoos yet.


In 2023, in an interview with Vanity Fair, he shared, “I think I'm done with tattoos, to be honest. I've spent so much time in the makeup chair this year. If I were to get anything next, it would be for playing Philip Gallagher—those 11 years on Shameless were so special. I don't think I give that time in my life enough love in my head, so maybe I could love it on my skin."

Yes, Jeremy Allen White covers his tattoos for The Bear. For every episode of The Bear, five of his tattoos are covered for filming. One of the makeup artists of the show, Ignacia Soto-Aguilar, shared on her Instagram that after covering 5 of his personal tattoos, 11 tattoos were added to his body for his character on the show.


It takes the makeup team 24 minutes to conceal his personal tattoos and apply temporary tattoos on the actor’s body. Earlier, it used to take the team one hour and twenty-six minutes for this process in Season 1 of The Bear. It takes a village to complete this process, as Jeremy has to first shave the hair around his tattoos, and then the makeup artist covers them with makeup, blow-dries it to set it, and adds the temporary tattoos to his body.


The temporary tattoos applied on his body include ‘773’ which is Chicago’s pin code highlighting his character’s background, a Grim Reaper holding a whiskey bottle, 2 angels with the sun, a globe in a measuring cup, etc. These tattoos are related to his character Carmen Berzatto’s life.
