Margot Robbie is known for a lot of things in the film industry. From her versatility as an actress, to the iconic roles that she has played, her dedication to her craft, and even her distinctive screen presence. Ironically enough, another thing the actress is known for is her tendency to tattoo her co-stars and her friends whenever she gets the opportunity.
Robbie has spoken on this matter several times during her appearances on talk shows, with it even becoming a running gag with some. So much so that the actress has admitted that she has done around a hundred tattoos as an amateur tattoo artist, even getting matching ones with the cast of Suicide Squad.
It would seem, however, that this did not last very long, as the actress revealed during an interview with Jimmy Fallon that she had put her tattoo gun down for good after an unfortunate experience.
