Tattoo, interrupted.
Angelina Jolie’s tattoo artist, who goes by Mr. K, finally revealed a close-up look at the “Maleficent” actress’ new ink — and is sorry it caused such a stir.
After he teased the new tats on Jolie’s middle fingers with a blurred-out photo on Instagram earlier this week, fans speculated that the design could be a “f—k you” message to the star’s ex-husband Brad Pitt, with whom she’s been embroiled in messy legal battles since the duo’s 2019 divorce.
After denying the tats’ connection to the “Fight Club” star on Wednesday, Mr. K posted a pic of the artwork on Thursday and elaborated on its meaning.
“First of all, I feel sorry with all the bad speculations and sincerely apologize to @angelinajolie for the stress that might caused [sic] her,” he captioned the snap on Instagram.
“This tattoo represents two daggers in geometric abstract way / nothing related to religion or cross,” he added, with no mention of Pitt.
Paparazzi photos from Sunday also show the “Salt” actress showing off her new tats.
Fans supported Mr. K in the comments, with one writing, “It’s so sad people feel the need to apologise [sic] for everything these days. You meant no harm or disrespect. Amazing work as always.”
Another said, “Poor lady can’t even get a tattoo people need to get a life,” while a third added, “The media will now say she wants to ???? Brad.”
While Jolie has yet to speak out about the situation, she’s previously discussed her connection to knives.

In 2008, Jolie told W that mother took her to get her first daggers when she was just 11 or 12 years old, adding that she had already purchased then-7-year-old son Maddox his own set.
Though her latest artwork may not bear any connection to her ex, Jolie still does have some permanent tributes to Pitt on her body; in addition to matching quotes from the poet Rumi, the two actors have coordinating Buddhist tattoos that were drawn from the same vial of ink to symbolize their bond.
