Sexy, sexy Angelina Jolie designed lover Brad Pitt's new back tattoo. That's the new word based on an  October 27 celebrity news report about the world's most famous 21st century couple (next to presidential couple Barack and Michelle Obama).

Brad Pitt came out and showed the world his new strange back piece back in 2008. Since the new tattoo debuted, fans and skin art experts have been attempting to decipher the symbols and their origin.

Now we know.

According to a report by the San Francisco Chronicle's Daily Dish,

Brad Pitt has his back tattooed with a series of bizarre lines after partner Angelina Jolie sketched the design on his body during a boring night in.

The movie star sparked speculation about the tattoo's meaning when he debuted it last year. But Jolie, who shares her partner's fondness for ink, admits the horizontal lines across the mid-section of his back was just something she did during a dull night in while they were attending the World Economic Forum.

What gives us reason to believe this juicy bit of romantic gossip about the Jolie-Pitt liaison is true (fact not fiction)? Because Angelina herself dished the clean, artistic, and sentimental dirt in a celebrity interview.

Pitt told Entertainment Weekly, "One night we didn't have anything to do, so I was drawing on his back.

"He just liked it! The picture everybody saw was kind of awkward, but it just lines up beautifully on his back, just enhances the part of the body I like.

What makes the symbol special?

"It's meaningful in that it's us making angles and shapes out of each other's body, that kind of a thing."

Awww...

Editorial Note: Don't worry, Ange -- millions of people agree with you and think Brad Pitt's back is gorgeous in an aesthetically pleasing way, too. We hope you'll both share better photos of the new tatts soon.
