Tattooed Millionaire is a Hard Rock album released in 1990 (see 1990 in music) by Bruce Dickinson. It is his first solo album.

The album project began when Bruce was asked to record a song for the fifth Nightmare on Elm Street movie, which became the song called "Bring your Daughter...to the Slaughter". Collaborating with future Iron Maiden guitarist, Janick Gers, Bruce began to make a solo album which was fundamentally different from his works with Maiden, sounding much more rock-oriented. "Bring your Daughter..." was not included on the original album but Maiden later recorded a different version that was included on their 1990 album No Prayer for the Dying which ironically became the band's only number one single to date. The intro to the song "No Lies" is also reminiscent of Maiden's version of "Bring your Daughter...to the Slaughter".
