Actress Carey Mulligan wants a tattoo of a seagull on her right wrist – to remind her of the Broadway play she starred in three years ago.
The ‘An Education’ star played Nina in Ian Rickson’s New York production of Anton Chekhov’s ‘The Seagull’ in 2007 – and she wants a permanent reminder of her time on stage.
Mulligan has asked her friend, illustrator Zoe More O’Ferrall, to create the ink design for her.
But the actress was too embarrassed to go under the needle in London’s trendy Soho district and has opted to book an appointment at a parlour in departmental store Selfridges instead.
She tells, “I’m so middle class! I couldn’t walk in – there were all these cool-looking people. I’m doing the ultimate pretentious actor thing. But I’m never going to tattoo any of my other jobs onto myself. I’m the least tattooed person in the world.”
