James Franco often appears with tattoos on his body, but none have seemingly been real as of this writing. That means the teardrop face tat he sported in 2012's "Spring Breakers," as was the grill, was purely for cinematic joy and effect. In 2014, the ever-exploratory Franco collaborated with artist Cheyenne Randall, whose Instagram feed displays his signature work of digitally imposed graphic tattoos on pop culture figures like Audrey Hepburn. Franco stunned, via a Randall Instagram post, with the authenticity of a Lana Del Rey face "tattoo" on his neck, with Randall crafting another of Emma Watson in 2015. "I think it's safe to say we have a mutual respect for each others' craft," Randall told MTV at the time.
For Franco's role in 2015's unreleased "The Long Home," per People, he has been spotted rocking a large piece of the devil on his chest. These temporary tattoos surely must help Franco get into character, as he once again donned sleeves of arm tats for 2016's "Why Him?," many of which Franco helped design, per TattooDo. As GQ quipped at the first sighting of these "Why Him?" tattoos at a March 2016 book signing, they must be temporary, as "last we checked, the guy was still an actor looking to be employed, not be the bane of every Hollywood makeup artist."
But back to that Emma Watson tat — there's a lot more story to that one. Read on.
