Russell Brand has a new tattoo. The ex-addict (to heroin and alcohol) was spotted barefoot in Los Angeles with some new ink on his right forearm. The tattoo reads "Lord, make me a channel of thy peace" followed by a cross. His latest tat is an adaptation of the Catholic Prayer of Saint Frances and can be found in the Twelve Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). The actor has been sober for over a decade. He discusses his battle with drugs and alcohol in Russell Brand: From Addiction to Recovery, the documentary will air on August 16th on BBC Three.

This is certainly not the first permanent decoration that the comedian adorned his body with. He and ex-wife Katy Perry got matching tattoos after their engagement. After their amicable divorce, Russell is now dating Isabella Brewster. The new couple are planning on renting a home together in Los Angeles.

Miley Cyrus shows off new tattoo

Miley Cyrus' body is her canvas. The singer and actress, 19, has been spotted with fresh ink on her body. Her newest tattoo is on her left forearm and is a phrase from former U.S. President Theodore Roosevelt. The quote reads, "So that this place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat." The phrase is taken from a speech that Roosevelt delivered at the Sorbonne in Paris, France on April 23rd, 1910.

The full speech reads, "It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid sould who knew neighter victory nor defeat."

This is tattoo no. 8 for Miley. She already has the words Just Breathe one the left side of her chest; an outline of a heart on her pinky finger (right hand); a cross on the inside of her ring finger (right hand); Love on the inside of her ear; a dream catcher on the right side of her ribcage; an anchor; and the Equal symbol in support of gay rights.

space for his latest addition. Yesterday Trace went to a tattoo parlor with dad Billy Ray Cyrus. He tweeted, "With my dad! He is getting his back tattooed! Gangster!" Followed by, "Yes I think I'm about to do this!" and "Getting my head tattooed right now" A few hours later the former guitarist and singer of Metro Station showed off the result. He tweeted, "Got my head tatted today! Excuse all the ink on my face. And yes this hurt!!!" Now an image of a Native American Chief is immortalised onto his scalp. It is significantly larger than the facial tattoos he previously had etched on. The photo shows off other inkings such as a diamond ring, a dove, two feathers and the initials TN with an anchor. And even though he wrote, "Late night coffe. I got a headache!!!" he also tweeted about plans to get the other side of his head inked as well, "Thank you Chris Garcia for coming up from Vegas to tattoo my family and I. I can't wait till next week to tattoo the other side of my head!
