Ryan Gosling: I Have a Homemade Tattoo

Sporting a newly shorn look and a “ridiculous” tattoo on his left wrist, Ryan Gosling lands at LAX airport on Thursday afternoon.

Ryan, 26, was accompanied at the airport by girlfriend Rachel McAdams‘ younger sister, Kayleen McAdams and her boyfriend Zach Shields (they made a brief trip to Vegas together and caught Ivan Kane‘s Forty Deuce burlesque show).

The Notebook star later hailed a cab and left the airport with his guitar and luggage.

Care to know about Ryan‘s “ridiculous” tattoo? Here’s an excerpt from a recent interview Ryan gave UK’s Guardian newspaper:

At one point, glancing at his hand, I see what I think must be a fading ink stamp, and ask if he was at a club the night before. “Oh no,” he laughs, “that’s a homemade tattoo”. He has many, apparently, all of them “ridiculous”. “A tattoo should never be meaningful,” he explains, “because at a certain point you’re going to hate it, and it might as well make you laugh.”

And there you have it. Go out and get meaningless tattoos to make yourself laugh! Ha ha ha ha!
