Back in 2009, the 24-year-old beauty explained to Bunte magazine what inspired her to permanently etch Marilyn's portrait on her right forearm. "I really admire Marilyn Monroe but I would never try to emulate her," she said. "I got the tattoo as a warning. It warns me not to let myself be treated so badly by the film industry so that it breaks me down."
Megan still has a number of other tattoos emblazoned on her skin. Some of them are engraved words. One placed on her right shoulder is a line adapted from William Shakespeare's play King Lear that reads, "We will all laugh at gilded butterflies", another one is a poem etched on the left side of her rib cage, and the other one on her lower hip bears the name of her husband Brian Austin Green.
