Bangkok, July 9 (AP): A brief visit to Thailand has left an indelible mark on Hollywood actor Angelina Jolie.

After a two-day visit to Cambodia, the 29-year-old star stopped in Bangkok earlier this week to have a tiger tattooed on her lower back by a well-known local artist, The Nation reported today.

Jolie, whose movie Lara Croft: Tomb Raider was shot partly at Cambodia’s Angkor Wat temple, spent over two hours at a hotel on Wednesday having the 12-inch-long image applied by renowned tattooist Sompong Kanphai. It was the actor’s second tattoo by Sompong, who in April last year applied an image featuring ancient Cambodian script, designed to ward off bad luck.

Jolie said she flew back to Bangkok expressly to get the latest tattoo because the first one made her feel that her life was filled with luck.
