2: In Rebellion, Part 2, Sparrow's bird tattoo can be seen both near the wrist and in the forearm, near the elbow.}

Notes

• Peter received a tattoo while in Cork, but his power of regeneration did not let it stay. (Kindred)
• Sparrow tells Micah that she got one of her tattoos from her mother, who was part Zuni Indian, after she died.

Trivia

• According to artist Jason Badower, the "root" Julien Dumont was originally supposed to have a tree tattoo on his body. However, Jason forgot to add the tattoo when initially drawing the character, and the character detail was never added since.
• Carlos's tattoo on his forearm was designed to look like the C in the logo for Cutthroat Studio, the studio founded by Drew Pierce which did the special effects makeup for The Recruit.
