Johnny Depp Shows Off A New Tattoo
"Silence Exile Cunning"
Johnny Depp, who recently lent his voice to an episode of Spongebob Squarepants, is currently working on the new film The Rum Diary which is currently in production in Old San Juan, Puerto Rico. During one of his breaks, Johnny was spied with a new tattoo on his forearm which looks like it reads Silence Exile Cunning …
… or something like that. It’s unclear to me if the tattoo is real or just a fake one for the film. Also, the last word is not very clear … it’s hard to make out. Any ideas what this new tattoo could mean?
UPDATE: Pink readers Shai, Jamie and Yoka have clarified that the quote is by James Joyce and it reads, Silence Exile Cunning. Thanks guys!!

Looks like Cunning to me.
@Shai — I think you’re right :) thanks!!
Like Shai, I think it says Cunning. It’s definitely not Coming.
It does say:
Silence Exile Cunning
From a James Joyce quote.
It is a James Joyce quote and it does say Cunning. It’s from ‘A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man’. (I googled).
@Yoka :) Thanks!!!
What’s up with his face…looks like he has dried blood or something…maybe for the movie. Either way he’s effin HOT!!!!
I think it’s a real tattoo he’s had for awhile.
Silence, Exile, Cunning
“You have asked me what I would do and what I would not do. I will tell you what I will do and what I will not do. I will not serve that in which I no longer believe, whether it call itself my home, my fatherland or my church: and I will try to express myself in some mode of life or art as freely as I can, and as wholly as I can, using for my defence the only arms I allow myself to use . . . silence, exile, and cunning.”
~ James Joyce, A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man
It is a real tat that was first spotted at the MTV awards a while back. It is from A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man by James Joyce and holds special signifigance for Johnny. He is currently working on filming The Rum Diary in Puerto Rico and for a few days, he did walk around the set with fake blood on his face.
this man is fine as hell!! he doesn’t look any older than he did in the 90′s!! love him!
