1. Chester's tattoos, Totaling 13:
   Upper Left Arm - (Pisces) An original done by Jody from Club Tattoo in Tempe, Arizona. The color was done by Wes from Club Tattoo as well. This was Chester's 1st piece ever.
2. Upper Back - (Six arms spread out) Done by his friend, Derrick, in Arizona. It was Derrick's interpretation of Chester on stage. He said that Chester had an overwhelming power to take over the audience and pull them in and he thought that Chester  needed more then two arms to do that so he gave him six. The placement of his backpiece was orginally supposed to be around his diaphragm extending from his belly button but Samantha didn't want to look at that every day of her life.
3. Lower Back - (Linkin Park lettered in old English) Done by Jeff Tilman from Tattoo Deluxe in California. Chester made a bet with Jeff that if Linkin Park  went Platinum he would do his lower back for free. Supposedly this tattoo is not done, it's also supposed to have dragons as well.
4. Upper Right Arm - (Japanese Koi Fish) Done by another friend, Wookie, from Club Tattoo in Tempe, Arizona. It's an orginal that Chester drew.
5. Lower Left Calf - (Hybrid Theory Soldier) Done by Dee from Jacksonville, Florida. You can watch Chester getting this tattoo done in his dressing room of the Hard Rock Live in Orlando, Florida on the Frat Party DVD. Dee has become a good friend of Chester's (he's a guy by the way) and did this piece for free. Chester  did this tatoo on a whim and didn't discuss it with Samantha first. She saw it though and "fell in love with it" but said "Don't ever do that again!
6. Left Arm - (Flames) Done by Jeff Tilman from Tattoo Deluxe in California. This is Chester's favorite piece and the inspiration for the flames coincides with his upper arms (which are based on fish and ocean creatures) and represents his Pisces sign. Chester was born on March 20th, the cusp of Aries, a fire sign, so they symbolize both sides of his personality: fire and water. 
7. Right Arm - (Flames)
8. Right Calf - (Dragon) Chester was born in the year of the dragon so he wanted a dragon on his right calf. Chester  said that this was the same dragon that "is on [his] wife's ass, only 42 times the size."
9. Ring Finger on Left Hand - (Engagement band) Done by Derrick and designed by Samantha. She also has the same tattoo on her finger. The reason for the tattoo rings was that Chester  was too poor at the time to purchase a real ring and since his friend, Derrick, owned a tattoo shop he did the tattoos for free. They had those tattoos done before Pamela and Tommy Lee had theirs done.
10. Pinkie Finger on Right Hand - (Birthstone in gold ring) That's Chester's birthstone for March in a gold ring, given to him as a gift for his 21st birthday.
11. Left of Back - (Dragon)
12. Right of Back - (Dragon)
13. Right Elbow - (Unidentified tattoo that looks like a skull on a rose?)
