Actually, there are two.

Popular satellite radio personality Howard Stern has a collection of tattoos, including two on his hands. One -- on the ring finger of his left hand -- is the letter B, for his wife Beth Ostrosky. The couple got each other's initials instead of wearing wedding rings.

The other, on his right-hand pinky finger, is the Om symbol -- a sacred symbol for a number of religions including Hinduism and Buddhism -- which Stern said is pretty much meaningless to him.

Back in February, however, he and Beth got matching tattoos on their forearms in honor of their bulldog, Bianca.

On the Oct. 25, 2011, episode of his show, in a conversation about his various tattoos, he said he was at a tattoo shop and saw the Om symbol on the finger of one of the artists, and he just asked for it on a whim.

Indeed, he admitted that few of his tattoos mean anything to him. He just picked them all pretty much at random, "like an idiot."

It started with his astrological symbol -- Capricorn -- on his shoulder, which he almost instantly regretted and had covered up with a dragon. However he admitted, "I don't care about either one of them. It's an idiotic tattoo."

He has at least shown the beginnings of a theme -- he also has a character from another language, Gaelic, tattooed on the back of his neck. He admits he doesn't know what it means, either, but that doesn't bother him too much since he can't see it anyway. 

"No one's back there. I don't even know what it is."

The only other continuity involved in his body art is the artist. Stern goes to Buffalo-based artist Kate Hellenbrand, who works under the nickname Shanghai Kate. She's also worked on such other stars as Casey Affleck and a member of the rock group Pearl Jam.
