Strawberry Fields

[Lost in Translation]

Do any of you think that the Strawberry Fields reference on Charlie's arm is a key to something, or just JJ telling us to chill out?

"Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

It's getting hard to be someone but it all works out, it doesn't matter much to me

Let me take you down, 'cos I'm going to Strawberry Fields

Nothing is real, and nothing to get hungabout

Strawberry Fields forever"

Just asking

I didn't have my glasses on and couldn't read it, however if we were ment to see it...it is either a red hearing or...

It just seemed like placement to me, and it was very crisp and clean type (or maybe that wasjsut HDTV) - but it seemed odd to me, especially with the rest of the lyrics that followed.

Lyrics and Tattoo:

My take on this is: He's a musician and a junkie. Perfect tattoo and lyric for him.

You guys may want to check Charlie's forum - I believe someone has mentioned that that is Dominic Monaghan's real life tattoo (just like Jack's is Mathew Fox's). I does fit with the story, somewhat, or may be made to fit, and I doubt our fearless writers/producers would not make use of it.

Well, it's Dom's real tattoo. I'm guessing they're using it in the show because it's so appropriate for Charlie's character. But I guess I wouldn't rule out the possibility of them showing it at particular times in a meaningful way.

thanks for letting us know that it is real-- It shows thought that Charlie is a true musician and not just a hack!

This is a perfect tattoo for this show, think about the lyrics for Strawberry Fields:

"Let me take you down, 'cos I'm going to Strawberry Fields
Nothing is real, and nothing to get hungabout
Strawberry Fields forever

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see
It's getting hard to be someone but it all works out, it doesn't matter much to me
Let me take you down, 'cos I'm going to Strawberry Fields
Nothing is real, and nothing to get hungabout
Strawberry Fields forever"

I didn't know it was his real tattoo, but I figured it was an obvious clue to the whole island thing - that nothing was real...
