Talk:Tattoos
People with tattoos
Ted has a tattoo? What and where? Also, should we add the rest of the Irish guys? There's also the matter with Peter, he did get a tattoo, but healed, does it count? Intuitive Empath - Talk - Contributions 17:48, 12 May 2009 (EDT)
- Re: Ted--check this out. Do all the Irish guys have tattoos? I forget. If so, then yes, let's add them. I don't think we should add Peter, though--he got the tattoo, but it didn't stay. Some goes for Sylar and the Jessica/Niki conundrum. Maybe let's just put Peter in the notes. -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 18:01, 12 May 2009 (EDT)
- Thanks, but do we know if that's from the character, or is that a tattoo the actor has? And about Sylar? He carved words in his skin, tattoo usually involves ink under the skin. Sylar self mutilated. Intuitive Empath - Talk - Contributions 18:23, 12 May 2009 (EDT)
- Is there a difference between the character having it and the actor having it? I mean, Milo Ventimiglia has tattoos, but they are airbrushed away before he appears because Peter Petrelli doesn't have tattoos. On the other hand, Mike Foy has some very prominent tattoos, as does the convenience store robber. As for Sylar, you're probably right--the ink is a good distinction! :) I only added it to the notes. Feel free to remove it if you'd like. -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 20:30, 12 May 2009 (EDT)
- I think I'll remove Sylar, but noting characters with tattoos whose actors also have tattoos and characters with no tattoos played by actors with tattoos would be a good call. Maybe some actors are also selected for having tattoos. Fracis Capra has tattoos, but had extra tattoos added to play Jesse Murphy. Intuitive Empath - Talk - Contributions 20:42, 12 May 2009 (EDT)
- Francis Capra had extra tattoos added? Are you sure? -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 20:46, 12 May 2009 (EDT)
- I remember reading it somewhere in this wiki, and from on of the "good info sources" group. Maybe you, but I don't remember. Intuitive Empath - Talk - Contributions 20:56, 12 May 2009 (EDT)
- Yeah, that was me. I added it here, but then later removed it because I was wrong. :( -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 21:03, 12 May 2009 (EDT)

Layout
I think this page would best be served with a slightly different format than usual. I don't think we need to have an episodic listing. I'd much rather see this page divided into headings that listed characters instead of episodes. Then the descriptions under each character would be about the tattoos (descriptions, episode citations where necessary, maybe some pix). I think that would be a much better way to organize the page. -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 20:32, 12 May 2009 (EDT)
- Much like the Eye alteration page or no?--Anthony Gooch 21:18, 12 May 2009 (EDT)
- Yeah, kinda. -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 23:23, 12 May 2009 (EDT)
- Sounds like a good idea. Since it is kinda more of a listing page, than a collection of descriptive events that happened in the episodes. Also, I really think it should only focus on 'in-show' character tattoos...frankly, I don't think we should care how many or what tattoos Milo has, only what tattoos Peter or any character may have "in" the show that might be interesting. I'll work on changing the layout, and adding in the other character examples mentioned. --HiroDynoSlayer (talk) 05/13/2009 11:01 (EST)
- It looks great, and good call on keeping it in an in-world perspective. -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 00:04, 14 May 2009 (EDT)

Sylar tattoo inclusion
Aside from Regeneration making it temporary, Why else wouldn't Sylar be included? What is the difference in him making a tattoo via cutting it with TK, and someone doing it by traditional means? Not sure why that entry was removed. Does it only qualify as a tattoo if it is drawn not cut? --HiroDynoSlayer (talk) 05/13/2009 17:51 (EST)
- Yeah, tattoos are made by putting ink in the skin, Sylar just made a cut with a design, that's a carving, not a tattoo. Intuitive Empath - Talk - Contributions 18:06, 13 May 2009 (EDT)
Sythan's tattoo
We saw Nathan in his pajamas in the first season. Did he have his tattoo then?

- I don't believe he did.--Catalyst · Talk · HL 13:19, 15 November 2009 (EST)
- He didn't. This is Adrian Pasdar's actual tattoo. Heroes Interactive:Shadowboxing actually talks about it. -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 18:05, 15 November 2009 (EST)
