Although she plays the goody girl character, Rachel Berry on Fox’s hit show “Glee”, 24 year old Michele (Happy recent Birthday BTW!) is all but preppy in real life. She actually embodies an ultra-cool edginess with several visible tattoos, as seen at the Emmys this past Sunday. Also in the recent issue of Rolling Stone Magazine, she reveals she has 9 tattoos. Some of these tats have been very spontaneous and a spur of the moment decision. Recently on a trip to Chi town, her and fellow casts Jenna Ushkowitz and Kvin McHale all got matching “Imagine” tattoos on their left foot. The tattoos each cost $50, and of course our very own Lea was the one who in her own words “instigated the whole thing”.

On the same evening, she got another tattoo — a gold star which was an homage to her overachieving “Glee” character. Other tats that Lea has are an “I Believe” tattoo on her right wrist in teal ink. a blue butterfly located on her right foot which was actually designed by her cousin, another butterfly on her back which she inked with her mom being present.

Michele’s remaining tattoos are of little bird on her hip, two musical notes from Queen’s hit song “Bohemian Rhapsody” on her left shoulder, and a tattoo on her thigh which is in memory of her late grandfather, who passed away a year ago.
