Millie Bobby Brown's Tattoos: What They Mean

A Guide to Millie Bobby Brown's 4 Tiny Tattoos

  • Millie Bobby Brown has four known tattoos so far.
  • Each design is small in size and can be seen on her wrist, collarbone, back, and ribcage.
  • One tattoo is dedicated to her "Stranger Things" character, Eleven.

Actor and producer Millie Bobby Brown first gained popularity with her role as Eleven in Netflix's "Stranger Things" and has since become a household name. Since its premiere in 2016, fans have been curious as to who she is dating, what she is studying, and of course what's next for her. Now, with Brown's latest project, "Enola Holmes 2" — a mystery series on Netflix featuring the sister of world-known Sherlock Holmes — set to release on 4 Nov., she has been making the press rounds yet again. On display along with her outfits are a handful of tattoos, and many people have started wondering what each one means.

Brown is no stranger to tattoos, although her most notable may be the famous '011' tattoo — which represents the number her character is given at the Hawkins lab in "Stranger Things" — during the season five series (she also has the design in real life). In total, Brown has four known tattoos so far, all of which are small pieces of ink placed in various areas of her body: on her collarbone, her wrist, and on her back. If you're interested in learning more about each one, we've broken down each of the actor's tattoos and their meanings below.

Millie Bobby Brown's "Stranger Things" Tattoo

Fans always associate Brown with the "011" tattoo seen on her character Eleven in "Stranger Things," which is indicative of the time she was a test subject in the lab in the show, but the actor also has the same piece of ink in real life. While the tattoo is easy to miss because of its small size, the numbers are etched in simple black ink on her left wrist and are a nod to her time on the popular series.

Millie Bobby Brown's Heart Tattoo

If you zoom in on Brown's collarbone at any red carpet appearance, you'll see a tiny heart tattoo that sits below her left shoulder. While it's unclear when exactly she got the ink, and although Brown hasn't commented on what the heart means to her specifically, heart designs often symbolises passion or love — but it could also be just because it's cute.

In addition to the tiny heart tattoo on Brown's collarbone, the actor also has another piece of ink that symbolises love: a rose. As evidenced in a September 2022 Instagram photo uploaded by her boyfriend Jake Bongiovi, the design is placed on the left side of her back, right near her rib cage. She has not shared when she got tattoo or its exact meaning.

Brown debuted a new tattoo at the "Enola Holmes 2" premiere. Wearing a plunging halterneck gown by Louis Vuitton, a small tattoo of the name "Ruth" was spotted on her right ribcage. It is thought the tattoo is a tribute to her late grandmother, Ruth, who passed away of Alzheimer's Disease in November 2020.
