"They’re boys; they’re easily toyed with," she said. "I tell stories and have them eating out of my hand. Not all of it is true. In fact, most of it is bullshit." Fox said, "I never said she was my girlfriend! I just said that I loved her, and I did love her. The real story is more sobering. It’s not a sexy, fun-time, fantasy story. But that’s not the story you tell GQ." On June 15, 2009, at the UK premiere of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, Fox revealed having a crush on Cheryl Cole and a love for Cole's tattoos.

Fox also has a crescent moon overlapping a five pointed star on the inner aspect of her lower leg above her right ankle. This tattoo is the only known colored tattoo that Fox has.

Fox said she has a Marilyn Monroe tattoo because, "she was one of the first people I saw on television, like, literally moments after I was born. Every time I heard her voice growing up I always would cry. I wouldn't know why when I was younger but had my own theories" and that Fox has always "empathized" with her. Fox had shown interest in getting her yin/yang tattoo removed remarking that the tattoo artist "didn't do it correctly" because he was under the influence of marijuana; however, Fox still has that tattoo as of August 2009. Fox has said of her tattoos that when she gets a tattoo, "It's a little 'fuck you' to anyone who tells me not to."
