Four tattoos - one of the band logo on the back of his neck (15), a star on his right hip (since he was almost 17). To celebrate his 18th birthday, he got a tattoo on his left inner forearm which reads Freiheit 89 (Freedom 89) which celebrates the year he was born and the fact that he is now, at 18, an adult. One on the left side of his torso. The tattoo says “Wir hören nie auf zu schreien. Wir kehren zum Ursprung zurück.” which means “We’ll Never Stop Screaming. We’re Going Back To The Roots.” in English. He also tattooed his entire left hand (consisting of a skeleton hand, a bird, and the number 0630, which was his time of birth), a chest tattoo, a mermaid tattoo "Lost In A Dream", a tattoo of a heart on his left upper chest, and a cross tattoo on his right lower arm.

Motto: Leb die Sekunde! (Live every second!) He believes in living every moment as we only have one life.

Favorite drinks: Sodas, Dooley's (a toffee vodka), Strawberry nesquik, Peppermint tea/chamomile tea (he says it's good for his voice). They used to be a fan of a drink called Red Powder. At the moment, he loves ice tea and he hates energy drinks.

Favorite foods: Pizza, spaghetti, hamburgers, waffles, Königsberger Klopse, candies, rice and milk. He is a huge fan of fast food in general. He used to order a Big Mac, 6 nuggets and a vanilla milkshake at McDonald’s. Doesn't like chocolate but likes gummy bears and other gummy treats especially the yellow Maoam. He doesn't like potatoes or broccoli; he once ate a whole plate of broccoli and threw up after wards. He’s been a vegetarian since 2008.

Personality: Open-minded, friendly, egoistical, sensitive, superstitious, very talkative, ambitious, sensitive and romantic. He describes himself as an “insider” (German: “Drinni”), because he’d rather spend time slouching inside the house than go outside and get some fresh air. He’s not a fan of exploring nature. He is afraid of insects especially spiders. He and his band prefer big cities. He says he can be vain sometimes. He’s the creative part of the band and writes most of the songs. He’s also artistic and spends a lot of time drawing and designing clothes. He listens to 'White Flag' when he writes a new song. He's completely non sporty. He admits he’s lazy and could sleep his entire life away if he had the chance. He doesn’t like liars and unreliable people.

Public Image: He’s famous for his androgynous look. He started wearing make-up after he went to a Halloween party dressed as a vampire and realized he quite liked make-up. His favorite eyeliner is Maybelline and a lot of the cosmetics he uses are baby cosmetics. His hairspray brand is “Kyrell”. He uses one bottle of hairspray a week. His fashion sense isn’t fixed; he wears according to what he feels like for the day.

On girls: He thinks that he and Tom are bad at breaking up with girls. He got his first kiss at the age of 9. He’s proud of being a good kisser and that his tongue piercing doesn't get in the way while kissing. He’s been single for 8 years now, and hasn't kissed any girl since then. He’s into true love and love at first sight and wants to fall in love again. He wants a girl that loves him for him and not his money. Falling in love with a fan isn't impossible for him as she could understand him better, and that he has to spend lots of time with the band. He says the "one" is out there for him and only time will tell when he meets her and he’d like her to live in a different city or country. He doesn't want a girl taller than him and he hates it when they bite their nails. He’d prefer a girl with good ass than one with big boobs. He loves girls that scream at concerts. He’d want tattooed wedding rings.

Personal Quotes:

We are very different yet alike. We don't look like twins. But we are soul mates. When I look at Bill I know instantly what he thinks. I can feel it when he has a problem, even if he is not with me. I cannot imagine that I could ever trust a girl like I trust Bill. – About Bill in an interview in March 2007

I couldn't live without Bill. We do everything together, we tell each other everything, and we are inseparable. - About his twin brother

In my opinion, an important part of a relationship and extremely beautiful. - On sex

A nice accidental, but not everything in life. - On money

Friendship is nice, you need friends and it is hard to find friends. There are many fake friends and they shouldn't be reliable. - On friendship

I have been in love already, but I don't think I have ever really loved somebody. Love is a very rare and beautiful thing. But it can also be bitter if the other one doesn't love you back. - On love, in an interview in 2005

There is not so much bad about it because we both developed into two extremely different directions, so... It would suck if we'd look the same, but this is not the case. But actually it only has advantages. Because we get along pretty well and have a lot in common therefore there is not much bad to say about it. - On what is good or bad about having a twin brother

I thought it was cool. When I was younger I had shorter hair and at some point I got tired with always styling them. I wanted to have low-maintenance hair that just sits right when I wake up. That's when I let my hair grow and got it dreaded. - On why he has dreadlocks

I wouldn't change anything on my body. I think every person has to be the way he is and one shouldn't change anything about oneself.

The best birthday present I ever got was 10 minutes after I was born.

Me, I'm still a rascal. Inside, I am still the kid I was. He (Bill) guides me everyday.

On discussions within the band: Of course we fight sometimes! But our friendship is stronger than the disputes.

I really think we can fall in love several times in a lifetime and that, luckily, several people are made for us.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Q&A with Tom Kaulitz

What would somebody have to give to you, so that you wear Bill’s clothes once?
Well, I can imagine something with Angelina Jolie. No, nonsense. I would never wear Bill’s clothes, and to be honest, I don’t think anyone would like to see me like that.

If you’d have a girlfriend, would you hide that from the press, or would you admit it openly?
But I always talk about my girlfriends. I have one or two now and then. But it doesn't really last longer than one day.

Do your friends and family have nothing to say about you talking about sex all the time, and about the fact that you’re sleeping with groupies?
Why should they? Other parents would like for their children to talk about it. And this way I don’t have to lie.

How can someone provoke you? What gets on your nerves most?
I’m not that easy to provoke. I think that there’s only one person who can really do that. This person is 10 minutes younger than me, and his name starts with B. I can’t say how he sees this.

How many guitars do you have? Do you name them?
I don’t really know how many there are… I think there are about 20 and I don’t give them names. But Georg calls his base “Mr. Sandberg”. It’s his only friend anyway. (He’s crazy)

You said that you and Bill often have the same dreams. Which was the most embarrassing/beautiful/strange dream you ever had?
I think this is the first question I don’t really have an answer for. And that’s because I always forget about what I dream.

What was the most sordid lie you’ve ever invented?
I never lie! I hope everyone knows that!

Do you like to remember about school, about school trips and so on? If so you, what did you especially liked then?
There was only one school trip I went to. I pretended to be sick for the others. I don’t really like to remember about school. I hated it! School trips were a change to the awful everyday school-life. You could have many girlfriends there, that’s the only positive thing I can remember.

Do you have any habits (do you speak while sleeping for example)?
Maybe I do speak while sleeping. I can’t really tell… You should ask the others about it. Otherwise I like leaving things behind in different places, and things which remain there for good.

Is there still a dream you would like to come true or are you perfectly happy?
I’m really happy…Whenever I express some dreams they probably sound stupid, but I wish to be as successful as now for as long as possible, and to see as many countries as possible together with my boys.

What goes to your mind during concerts when you make such grimaces?
Grimaces? I think that, if you play music and you are in your element, you don’t have your face expressions under control. You don’t think of anything… You just play!

Personal Quotes

On how he would create a romantic date: I would just try to be who I am and not put on any fancy cloths to impress the girl. I mean obviously I am very happy if a girl dresses up for me but I also don’t want her to pretend to be someone she’s not.

To create a romantic mood, I would take her out to a beautiful restaurant. Well, now that I think about it, I would probably prepare a meal myself - that’s more intimate. It might taste better in a restaurant but my pasta is definitely also worth a try!
