Margot Robbiefamously loves to tattoo her friends and costars — but those days appear to be over.
“I’ve hung up the tattoo gun now, I don’t do it anymore,” Robbie said on the show Tuesday night. “I’ve had a few mishaps and I thought I should quit while I’m ahead.”
Though Robbie wasn’t trained “at all” and “bought the gun on eBay,” people still trusted her to tattoo them. Until one night at a friend’s bachelorette party in Australia when it didn’t turn out very well.
“Of course, there was a lot of drinking and they were like, ‘Oh, let’s get matching tattoos!’ ‘cause that’s a great idea,” Robbie joked. “I was tattooing my friend on her back, and another friend had drawn it on her in pen and I tattooed it. And then when I showed her afterwards she was like, ‘Oh, didn’t know that’s what I was getting.’”
Luckily, Robbie said her friend was “cool about it” and said she liked the tattoo anyway.
“But you know who was not cool about it?” Robbie continued. “Her mom the next day at the wedding when she walked down the aisle as one of the maids of honor, in a backless dress, and there’s this red-raw scabbing tattoo. Her mom was filthy with me, she [yelled] at me at the wedding. She was really angry and I thought I really shouldn’t do this anymore.”
After word got out that Robbietattooed some of herSuicide Squadcostarson the set of the 2016 movie, the actress was asked to do it several more times and even did it live onTheGraham Norton Showin 2017.
Host Graham Norton then put Robbie on the spot, asking fellow guestsReese Witherspoon,Ryan GoslingandHarrison Fordif they were willing to let her tattoo them.
When no one volunteered, Norton called upon a Robbie superfan and member of his production staff, Adam, to come on stage and get a toe-moji tattoo from the actress. “I’m probably more nervous than you are to be honest!” she said as she prepared to go in, giving him a smiley face on his tow.
