Justin Theroux Gives Conan O’Brien A (Temporary) Tattoo

By Kate Morawetz.

If you’ve ever thought about getting a unicorn inked on your body, you might want to screengrab this.

Making the late night rounds, Justin Theroux stopped by Conan O’Brien to talk about “The Leftovers” but ended up inking the late night host with a temporary unicorn tattoo.

The actor, who has a bevy of impressive ink himself, recently told Vanity Fair about his impromptu tattoo skills, admitting that he’s penned a handful of permanent sketches on his friend (not to mention professional tattoo artist) Scott Campbell after a few drinks.

The actor, who’s not shy about sharing his art on Instagram, opened up about the time it was Jason Bateman’s children that were on the receiving end of (we’re hoping some more sober) penmanship.

“They were over at the pool and they wanted to get little temporary tattoos, so we busted out the sharpies and did some tattoos on his children,” Theroux told O’Brien.

Theroux boasted that he can “do a pretty good unicorn.” Explaining that he’s “done that one a couple of times on Maple [Bateman].”

And so, Theroux took his Sharpie savant skills for a twirl on Conan’s tummy, which, amid screams from the crowd, the late show host likened to “a fish that washed up on the beach, and it’s dying…”. Watch the whole thing go down above.
