American actor Jeff Goldblum is known for his role in the Jurassic Park franchise, and for his unconventional personality. It would come as no surprise if the actor had tattoos of his own.
Jeff Goldblum does not have any tattoos on his body. However, he has jokingly critiqued tattoos that people have got of him. He also once gave a fan a tattoo in an episode of his Disney+ show The World According To Jeff Goldblum.

Goldblum’s Fame
Jeff Goldblum is known for his slightly eccentric, quirky personality and delivery of dialogue.
He is perhaps most famous for his role as Ian Malcolm, a main character in the Jurassic Park franchise.
Goldblum also played other significant roles, such as in the television show Law & Order: Criminal Intent, and the movie The Fly (1986), for which he won a Saturn Best Actor award.
He has directed some projects of his own, including the short film Little Surprises, which was nominated for an Academy Award.
Goldblum has also ventured into music, having formed the jazz band Jeff Goldblum and the Mildred Snitzer Orchestra, and releasing an album.
Goldblum became such a pop culture icon that a giant statue of his was displayed in London.
Tattooing A Fan
Although Goldblum does not have tattoos of his own, he has given a tattoo before.
In an episode of his Disney+ show The World According to Jeff Goldblum, he spent time with a tattoo teacher learning how to give a professional tattoo.
The American documentary web television series started in 2019 and features Goldblum “exploring the world” by traveling to a variety of different places, investigating a broad range of topics from food to sneakers.
At the end of the segment, he received a “hands-on” lesson in which he gave a real tattoo to a fan of his named Dr. Blobner.
The tattoo was of a dinosaur inspired by the movie for which he is best known, Jurassic Park.

The episode, titled “Tattoos”, featured Goldblum attending one of the largest tattoo conventions in the world.
He met several eccentric, innovative and unique tattoo artists, diving into their colorful world.
Jeff Goldblum Critiquing Jeff Goldblum Tattoos
In a video with GQ, Jeff Goldblum was asked to rate portraits of himself that fans had tattooed on their bodies.
He mentioned that he often scrolls through the hashtag of his name (#jeffgoldblum) on Instagram, as he is curious to see what appears, and enjoys the memes people have created about him.
In 2017, he shared that he is humored by the tattoos he sees inspired by him, telling GQ, “There are many paintings and pictures of me, some nice and some very primitive and bad. People get tattoos of my face. This is me in a banana split, where I’m the center of a dessert. People made a balloon out of me…very nipply. Quite nipply.”
He rated various tattoo renditions of himself, many inspired by his character from Jurassic Park.
One tattoo featured Goldblum’s character in a pizzeria feeding a velociraptor, which he jokingly remarked would be unlikely to take place in the Jurassic Park universe considering how dangerous velociraptors are.
Yet another was a rendition of a photo of him holding a hot dog from a food truck in Australia, taken from his Instagram, which he fondly remembered.
He playfully rated some tattoos “10 Goldblums out of 10 Goldblums,” but remarked that all the tattoos deserved a 10 Goldblum rating from him.

Although Goldblum does not have tattoos of his own, he certainly enjoys rating others.
