What I picked up on is that he may be sort of a floater

Abstract - The significance of tattoos and the tattooing arts are neither smooth nor unified‚ and actually can be considered as varied and punctured as the skin on which the tattoo is placed. The elusive unified account is due in part because of the wide variety of cultures in which tattoo has been practiced‚ from Japan and the South Pacific to ancient Greece.
