Once in a blue moon, a movie enters the cultural zeitgeist in a way like no other. In 2004, that movie was “Mean Girls.” Helmed by independent film director, Mark Waters, coupled with a screenplay penned by SNL royalty, Tina Fey, “Mean Girls” has gone down as one of the most quotable films ever made.
The movie centers on teenage Cady Heron (Lindsay Lohan) as she grapples with culture shock after she’s taken from her homeschool environment in South Africa and is catapulted into the cutthroat world of public school. As Cady is exposed to the trials and tribulations of modern high school life, she finds herself in the good graces of the most elite clique on campus, dubiously dubbed “the Plastics.” It’s through a trial by fire that Cady comes to learn how her new found friends came to earn their name, and what it really means to be popular.
“Mean Girls” transcends the limitations of many female driven comedies and has solidified itself as pop culture royalty. The early aughts flick is a breeding ground for tattoo inspiration, as the film is riddled with relentlessly quotable lines, memorable characters, and side-splitting plot points.
In honor of it being October 3rd, we’ve gathered some of the best “Mean Girls” tattoos in order to inspire your next appointment.
