Millie Bobby Brown received her first acting job at the tender age of 9 years old. Today she turns 16 and we can't believe how much she's already accomplished: winning nine awards including one SAG Award for Outstanding Performance in a Drama Series, two MTV Movie & TV Awards for Best Actor in a Show, and Best Performance in a Show (just to name a few). The role that she's currently most known for is Eleven (El) on the incredibly popular Netflix science fiction show, Stranger Things. So, enjoy these 11 tattoos inspired by Eleven (and 11 facts about the actress who brought the character to life).
Before Stranger Things, Millie earned guest roles on popular tv shows including Modern Family, Grey's Anatomy, and the Once Upon a Time spinoff, Once Upon a Time in Wonderland where she played a young Alice.
