They hide the tattoos because it's not part of his character.

It's not impossible for them to have tattoos. Coraline has the Fleur De Lis.

I think that Coraline's tatto was a scar from a burn made by some kind of iron.

True Salma. They showed a flashback of her having it put on during the French thing. Looked quite excruciatingly painful.

Dunno. I would have definitely liked them.

It was burned into her flesh, but no burn scar ever looked liked that. I think she got a tattoo to cover up the burn.

I don't really agree. There's a lot we don't know about his character. I mean, his behaviour in The Ringer completely stunned me. I don't see why a tattoo would be out of character for him. Ok, maybe not a salamander above his nipple, but the rest could work.

Man, with all those polls, I should register too.

**Conspiracy** · 01-05-2008, 07:13 PM

I can totally picture Mick getting tattooed back in the day

**- Tinkerbell -** · 01-05-2008, 07:40 PM

Yeah, maybe he got it done before he was turned.

moonlightjunkie · 01-05-2008, 08:03 PM

I think it would have had to be done before he was turned. But, wasn't there an episode where he was in his apartment without his shirt on. I do remember he was very yummy, but I don't remember any tattoos.

Also, I did vote for the TV Guide poll. Alex is winning now, but barely.

That's because they were airbrushed off.

Agreed, with all the background stuff we don't know about him yet, I don't see why he shouldn't have a tattoo

. Tattoos have been done for hundreds or thousands of years now, why should he have gotten one when he wasn't a vampire yet?

And looking at the cap, they're doing a great job covering Alex' real ones up

.

Oh, and I could I be added to the list please?

Really? You can see the make up clearly!

***globe2912*** · 01-06-2008, 04:46 AM

Yeah, but when you watch it on TV you barely recognize it

At least you don't see the tats shine through (like they do on other shows).

Very true. Like one blueish spot.

~*Chrissie*~ · 01-06-2008, 05:48 AM

I think they cover well, since I never recognized them during the show. Still I think they could easli have explained it, both before being turned and right after.
