Brad Pitt has the New Orleans levee system tattooed on his back

Brad Pitt has a line drawn tattoo on his back that depicts the New Orleans levee system which failed during Hurricane Katrina. This is likely to occur to others when they see the tattoo, but it took some deductive reasoning for me to figure it out. At first I thought it might be a pared-down architectural drawing, because Pitt is known to love modern architecture. I looked up sketches by Pitt’s favorite architects and nothing really matched.
Then I tried to think what’s Pitt might consider incredibly important and remembered his “Make it Right” project building green homes for New Orleans residents displaced by Hurricane Katrina.
I found an illustration of the New Orleans levees on Wikipedia, and when you turn it on the side and control for how far out the levees were, the tattoo on Pitt’s back matches exactly.

Pitt has a tattoo of Europe’s oldest natural human mummy, Ötzi, on his left forearm. He also has Angelina Jolie’s birthday in Khmer on his lower stomach.
Brad Pitt was seen taking his boys Pax and Maddox on a helicopter with an older gentleman in the South of France yesterday. Their pregnant mom Angelina and sisters Zahara and Shiloh stayed home. At one point his shirt blew up to show the tattoo on his back which has not yet been seen by the public.
Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are also show in faraway photos on the deck of the villa where they’re staying in the South of France.
Update: Pitt also has a sanskrit blessing on his lower left back, which is similar to a tattoo that Angelina has. It is thought to be a protection prayer for his son Maddox

For well into his forties he is looking good IMO. I am glad he is letting a little meat get on his bones. At mid forties it is hard to have the six-pack crap going on for these male celebs and not have it age them in other areas. He still looks pretty buff but not too overdone..and definitley is not going the Madonna route. I hope he straddles the line well like he appears to be doing.

*and WTF ARE those lines anyway? For realz?

First, I mean really, how stupid is that?

Second, just shows how he copies all his girlfriends. He had no tats before AJ, and now he has to go scar up his body this tats. PUKE.

You're so cool, Vanilla. Yeah, you sure are. I bet you totally rocked Simon Says on the playground.

He could have chosen any number of tat designs to represent NOLA. "Lines" depicting the levees is plain stupid, if indeed that is what they are.

I thought the same thing!

nice to see Brad with Love Handles!

argh... he's all doughy and out of shape. At least he has the hat off

**Sojiita** · May 12th, 2008, 11:43 AM

I do not think he looks 'doughy' or 'out of shape'. He is not in the best of shape and not 'cut' and all..and yeah he has a bit of the love handle thing going on, but he still looks beefy/muscular more than 'doughy and out of shape' by a long shot. JMO.

*Plus it must be impossible to stay in perfect shape not having any testosterone anymore with Angie having his balls in her purse.
