Jack's Tattoos

[LadyJustloomdeppsync]

Sorry for asking by i've been paying real close attention to Jack and I think i've noticed that Jack has another tatoo near his elbow. Either I saw that or I'm alittle off my rocker :b I know Kate said tatoo(s) but i never thought about it till i spotted it on him. So i just wanted to know if any of you know if it's a tatoo or not and if you have a picutre. Thank you! ;)

[KingLancelot]

Hello,

You're right, he does have a 2nd tatoo.

After deep searching, I finally found a picture that shows the one near his elbow, it's on the inside part of his left arm(our right in the picture that I am linking to)

Take Care,

P.S. Glad you noticed that, I never thought about that.:)

[LadyJustloomdeppsync]

Thanks alot. I wonder what the tatoo is of. Thinking of his other tatoo who knows. :rolleyes thanks again.

You can see the second tatoo here better. Looks like it has stars.

[LadyJustloomdeppsync]

WOW:eek ........ had to catch my breath there for a minute. That's for the pic. It's been aggravating me and my friend for forever. It just agged us during Solitary We kept yelling "turn your arm around!" apparently he doesn't listen. Thanks for the bigger pic.

[Wynter Zera]

Found part of the answer @ the fuselage...it was on the cover of some publication they had and image of (here (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v194/DiamondLife1985/PeopleMagpic2.jpg))


The tatoo is the # 5, some Japanese characters, and a sundial. It's his tatoo in real life and is "incredibly special". Awwww:smokin

[sexy baby mama]

So they didn't say if it meant anything, huh? Damn! I for one, love his tatoos.

[sexybrandon30]

actually, his tat is the "Aum" symbol. its not the #5

[Lostinthewaves]

What is the "aum" symbol?

Pls explain for a daft human being like myself.

[twyst]

I think the Japanese characters loosely translate to monster in the sky.

[wadahoot]

Is the Hindu symbol for 'OM' as in the chanting when meditating. Here are details and you can see the symbol by going to Microsoft Word, type a \ and make it Wingdings 1 font. :D link to Hindu Aum (http://hinduism.about.com/library/weekly/aa022200.htm)

[Lostinthewaves]

It sure looks more as the number five, than the aum symbol...

[Lostinthewaves]

Guys, help me out. Can anyone get a clear picture of the tatoo??? I have to get the one just like that(right arm). It looks more than cool. It looks awesome. That tatoo rocks.

[trishaislost]

You're not the only one who digs the tats- Kate for sure loves them! What can we say- he's a hard-core spinal surgeon

[azteclady]

Lostinthewaves, all I can suggest is for you to check the screencaps section at lost-tv.com and see if you can find a clearer image.

[Lostinthewaves]

Thx aztec lady. Found a couple.

Know ill ask a friend how to write "monster in the sky" in japanese characters, because the pics aren´t clear enough.

[banshee]

hi folks-

know this is an older post but someone who is a Jack fan/chinese translated.

The four characters of his tattoo mean eagle/hawk, strike, long & sky respectively. Put together "Eagle Soaring in the Expansive Sky".

This makes sense because I remember reading a similar translation in an article. Foxy has just had to be quieter about their meaning now since they're incorporating it into Jack's character. Works well w/the show if that's the connotation of them.

I for Loooooove them on those biceps ;)

[mystjade]

So J.J. has made it official, in entertainment weekley, he said that they are incorperating, Jacks tattoo of the number 5 into the numbers side of the plot.

[Lucciee]

Oh Oh NO No NO

They're not Japanese characters, instead, Chinese characters.
Ó¥»÷³¤¿Õ
which means an eagle fighting (maybe flying into, or attacking, not quite sure) in the sky high, in Chinese, it sounds heroic/imposing/powerful/strong/pompous......huh...

And there is °ËÊ®ËÄ £¨also Chinese characters, lined up in colums in BOONE's T-shirt), which simply means 84, kinda echoing one of the mysterious number of Hurley.....

[DohBoy]

Anybody notice if Jack had tattoos on his shoulders in the flashback scenes from last night's episode (Season 2 Episode 1: Man of Science, Man of Faith)? Thanks!

[MacGuffin]

Hi everyone. I believe Jack's/Matthew's tats are an interesting element in how we try to figure out where the Lost writers are taking this mystery that we are all clearly obsessing over. From what we know, these are Matthew's actual tatoo's which the Lost writers have decided to utilize somehow into the show's plot. So it's our job to figure out the meaning of the tatoo's to see how they are going to figure into the mix.

With that said, I would like to direct your attention to a web site I found that gives a pretty good explaination of the Chinese characters that make up the bottom portion of his shoulder tatoo:

www.ece.neu.edu/~xzhu/lost_tatoo.html (http://www.ece.neu.edu/~xzhu/lost_tatoo.html)

Basically, it explains that the characters are from a poem written by Chairman Mao Tse-tung. The first character means "Eagle". The second character means "Strike" as a verb. The third one means "Long" and the final one means "Void". It can be roughly translated into "Eagles high up, cleaving the space". But the poem itself has a much deeper meaning. In the end of the first stanza, the poet asks, " who masters fate's rise and descent?"

The other figure in his tatoo is almost definately a 5, and not the "Aum" or "Om" character as previously stated in an earlier post. You can compare the close-up of the "5" in the picture from the link provided above to the picture of the Aum in this link:

hindunet.org/aum/ (http://hindunet.org/aum/)

So far, we already have somewhat of an explaination of the "5" from Matthew's character. He explained in the first episode of season one that he counted to 5 during surgery to calm himself in order to finish a procedure that had gone wrong (I'm paraphrasing the story). We can't be certain at this point if that story is directly associated with the 5 on his arm, but for now it's all we have.

As for the rest, I'm still working on it. The other parts of his tatoo consists of the letters "B" and "C" written vertically, and to the left of that we see something that resembles a pyramid that's divided into three parts. I thought maybe it had something to do with a fraternity, and maybe the BC stould for Boston College. However, Fox attended Columbia University and before that he went to Deerfield Academy in Massachusetts.

Now if I were to speculate a little, I could guess that maybe Jack attened Boston College. I'm not sure if this has been confimred, but I do believe that character is from Boston (a Red Sox fan, right?) So where can this all lead us? I have no idea, but I'm going to do a little more research to see what I can dig up. I'm sure it will all be a huge waste of time.:)

"see you in the next life..."

[April28Speckles]

Jack has a tatoo on his left bicep - a large number 5, five countdown marks, and some korean(?) characters. Does anyone know what the characters mean and which language it is?

[Hurley4Prez]

Hello, and welcome. The tattoo on Jack's bicep is real. He got it while he was in Party of 5. They worked this into the first episode when Jack explains to Kate the whole "under pressure I count backwards from 5 to 1" philosphy on fear.
There isn't really anything else to it.

[Bekka]

Actually, H4P, he counts *forward* from 1 to 5.

[Nixon For President]

Speaking of PO5,I'd like to add that I think that Jennifer Love Hewitt is amazingly talented, both as a singer and as an actress. She is also incredibly beautiful.

[LoStMyMiNd]

Thats funny because I was reading on Spoilerfix last night that we will learn the significance of Jack's tatoo this season

[twinmom]

OD-
I had read that somewhere too! I was actually thinking when I read it how cool it would be to bring that back-hasn't really been discussed much since pilot ep and maybe a few eps afterward (by that I mean discussed by us). I know there once was a thread about this........a long time ago.......in a land far away..........before hackers came-I am not sure if it's still around........
and anyway, I thought he had more than just that one tatoo...
also, the original thread wasn't just about Jack's tatoo-it was about all of their "markings"-be it a tatoo or scar....
will search to see if I can dredge it up:)

[twinmom]

well-the search mode isn't letting you search the threads like normal (gd, spoilers, t&s....), just "subject" and "entire message"......only other one I found was the one you started about Starla...(are they stars or moles?) :p
will check back tomorrow-if still not working, I will pm a mod:)

[LoStMyMiNd]

I thought it was in T&S. I remember a small thread that discussed it because the OP thought it was odd that a doctor would have such a large tatoo, like Kate thought it was out of place for a doctor. Then it was just sort of blown off by both Kate, Jack and the people in T&S


ETA: It was blown off by the posters in T&S the last time I checked which was several months ago :)

[clayseason1]

Then it was just sort of blown off by both Kate, Jack and the people in T&S
The tattoo has resurfaced in a number of threads in T&S. It hasn't been blown off.
In fact, I think there may be a correlation between Jack's tattoo and the mural.

[timbo910]

the starry tattoo under his left elbow seems to have disappeared this season. another mystery of the island?

[April28Speckles]

H4P,
There has to be, there just has to be more to it. Arrrgh! I've got to find out what the symbols mean because I have a feeling they fit in with my theory and other suppositions. :)

[April28Speckles]

Lostincyberspace,
Thank you so much! You're my hero. :)

[maxironchin]

I must agree that lostincyberspace's link is great, but i'm not convinced it's the full picture.

In "Do No Harm", I seem to recall we see Jack's left arm with no tattoo (when with his best man Marc). If I'm right, presumably some CGI was used to mask out the tattoo. In such a case, we really need to know when Jack gets the tattoo done!

Just tell me if I'm dreaming and I'll slink away quietly.

[dzukunft]

I remember hearing that while Fox got the tattoo in 'Party of Five', the producers were going to incorporate in into the show. It can also be translated, I believe, as 'hawk in the expansive sky'.

[Hurley4Prez]

I hear ya April. The writers are always able to incorporate the tat into Jack's story as they wish, but it'll be still be "after the fact" since he had the tat before LOST.
Maybe it's like a competition for the writers, like "Who can come up with the best backstory behind Foxy's tattoo?". :p

[LostInWilderness]

Jack's tatto (http://p073.ezboard.com/flosttheunofficalforumfortheabcseriesfrm13.showMes sage?topicID=55.topic) thread.

Since I got to this late, I'll leave it open.

[Teen F]

Just so you all know, the kanji (chinese charecters) in the tattoo mean absolutely nothing. There is NO significance. When people get such tattoos they're looking up English words in a book and getting what the supposed translation is. Most of the time, the translation is wrong, and what was supposed to say "Firepower" or whatever, ends up saying "fish bread snocone" in stead.

And don't even get me STARTED on "Tribal" tattoos...

[clayseason1]

maxironchin

Good catch! So that either means between the time Jack got married and the crash, he got that tattoo. Unless, of course, that's a reverse shot - like a camera shot of Jack and the best man in the mirror - then it could be his right shoulder (The watch seems to be placed correctly for the left hand though).

[Dynagirl]

I remember hearing that while Fox got the tattoo in 'Party of Five', the producers were going to incorporate in into the show. It can also be translated, I believe, as 'hawk in the expansive sky'.

This is correct. The producers/creators discuss Jack's tattoo on the DVD of Season I. They said that Matthew Fox already had the tattoo, but they would be incorporating the tattoo into the plotline of the show.

[lostinyoureyes]

tats are so hot!!! like jack hehe!!! maybe he was DRUNK when he graduated doctor school and went out with all his spinal buddies and got his tatoos!!! just a theory main thing he looks hot!!!

[heyho]

Ive looked over the flashback from his doctor period, and Ive failed to see any tatoos on his arm. When he is checking her feet after he was out running, you can see his arm pretty well, but no tattos... maybe he got them after his wife left him/she died/whatever ?

[Mysterious Mike]

I am sure this has been posted before but has anyone ever looked into the tatoo Jack has on his arm. There are some intresting symbols and what looks like part of a compass.

Also what about the symbol Claire wears around her neck. It looks like some sort of Chinese charracter.

[truffula]

Hi Mysterious Mike!
The tatoo that Jack has is Matthew Fox's real tatoo, but...

Possible :spoiler:






































TPTB has said that they've found a neat way to have Foxy's real tat come into play as a major character point in Jack's FB stories


































END POSSIBLE :spoiler:

And as far as Claire's necklace, someone did clarify what the character meant, but I honestly forget (the original was probably destroyed in the EzHack)

Peace,

[LostInWilderness]

Since the previous link is broken (not really, but not up-to-date either,) I would like to relink Jack's tattoos. (http://www.losttv-forum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=3380)

[NokomisIsABadRobot]

There was an issue with Jack's tat in another episode last season. In a shot of him sitting on a rock at the caves, its suddenly on his right arm. There's a pic of it in the mirrored thread I believe.

[Beckchat]

While I was watching season one, i noticed that Jack has a tattoo of a three layered triangle. To me, it looked exactly like the three layered triangle that Sayid discoved after layering the maps he took from Rouseau. Did anyone else see this? I don't know what it means ot anything. I just wanted to bring it up.

Beckchat

[LostInWilderness]

Welcome to the board Beckchat. Please read the welcome forum and have fun.

I haven't spent much time looking at Jack or his tattoos, but plenty of others have.

[NokomisIsABadRobot]

I recently found something in the preview pictures for an upcoming episode. But after reading this thread... Im totally confused. A few questions please if anyone can clear this up..

1) In this thread, I've seen 2 pictures of Jacks inner arm tattoo. Can anyone say where those pictures came from? I ask because I'd like to know if they were aired on the show. If they were... then there are numerous times that Jack's arm has the tat and times when he doesnt. (while on the island) Strange indeed. If they came from unused footage in the DVD's (or elsewhere) then it tells me that the makeup people are covering it up for airing.
Spoilerish about what I found:

I saw these two pics which are from ep 12. It seems as if they belong to the same scene. (As in, one's not a FB) If you look closely, Jack has the inner arm tat in the first pic, and not in the second. So I wonder if these pics arent guarenteed to make it to the air. But how strange that they seem to be part of the same scene.

I'd also like to ask something about the upper arm tat (with the 5) We know the actor has the tat IRL. We know it's on his left arm. Can anyone explain then how this picture that WAS aired on the show exists??
http://img293.imageshack.us/img293/5260/normalhouse6187iu.th.jpg (http://img293.imageshack.us/my.php?image=normalhouse6187iu.jpg)

[minnesotaadvocate]

NokomisIsABadRobot:

I almost never click on spoilers, but clicked on your link above for some reason.

Anyway.....

The second pic is definitely photoshopped - and very poorly. Look at the pic in the original size and you'll see it right away.

(I don't want to say anything else here because I don't want to post a potential spoiler.)

[NokomisIsABadRobot]

wow. so it seems. I'm going to post a link to where I got the photos and any further discussion about this in a spoiler tag..

This is where I went to view it. The page you are about to open does indeed have several thumbnails of preview pictures. So if you dont want to see any more, then I'll hope someone who likes spoilers will stumble in here and let me know if this site has had issues in the past.

http://www.thetailsection.com/gallery/thumbnails.php?album=24&page=3

I wonder if the site did it, or if the people who gave out the promo pics altered it for some reason. I assumed it was just blurry because his arm was moving while he walked, but it does look about 3 inches smaller than his right arm. This site has posted hundreds of promos in the past and I know many here go there for the video promos as well. They usually have both Canadian and US versions.

So.. do you have anything to add about the upper arm tat switching arms??

[stephandadamuk]

has anyone else noticed the tattoo on the inside of jacks arm
it looks like definately like stars but there seems to be a large red bit there too.

i am wondering because i read that the creators have said that jacks tattoo does have some relevance.
i know he has a tattoo on his upper arm but i havent noticed this one before

[theshape]

I seem to remember the creators saying that Jack's tattoos are Matthew Fox's real tattoos, and therefore have no relevance.

[NokomisIsABadRobot]

There is an ongoing discussion going on about Jack's tattoos here..

http://www.losttv-forum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=3380

[The artist formerly known]

In the scene when Jack is in bed and his wife brings up the pregnancy test, Jack has no shirt on and he obviously also has no tatoos. Therefore we know that his tatoos fall into between the day his wife leaves him and the day he arrives on the island. Why would a grown up succesful dr go out and get inked up, I just assumed they were from and earlier age. NOT SO. What does everyone think?

[sawyerhasbestlines]

He probably went on a bender, and got "inked up" after buying some hookers.

Or he had the tattoos before he was cast in the show, and sometimes they get make-up'd and sometimes they don't.

[snowblizzard]

I don't understand why nobody has made any comment about Jack's tattoos. In Episode 11 when he operates on this Italian person with the beautiful daughter which I hope we get to see again in season 3, and the Episode where his wife leaves him. I don't think she was a very good person. Jack seems to be very sensative and it looks he has failed in his relationships. Anyway, when he comes home at 5:30 AM from the hospital and lies in his bed, the scene when his wife tells him she had a pregnacy test, if you look very closely you can see very clearly that Jack at that point of his life, about 3 years before the crash, he has NO TATOOS. If you have copies of the episodes take a look at this one again and see that I'm right. Can anyone explain this theory?

You know, you might be right. I did read somewhere last year that the number 5 in his tatto will play a role in the show. I don't know but isn't one of the compass bearings off the island a 5?

Urghh... they make me feel sick.

Jack makes me feel sick.

[sweetsunray]

At first season I thouhgt it would be too weird if it would be a sign linked to the Island. But now I just think it's something only personally related to Jack.

Tattoos are not uncommon, and a spinal surgeon can have one... But what is remarkable is that Jack got his tattoo at a later age, as a grown man, after he lost his wife. From what I gather from people who had their first (and possibly only) tattoo when already adult for a long while, then it's related to a traumatic period, a period they're going into the deep end and in a lot of pain. And they end up marking their body with a reminder of that time, the pain, the turmoil: for them the tattoo symbolizes the physical mark for life as that period marked them for life, for good and better. It might have been done in an impulse during that time, though. But with Jack having it done in Thailand, related to drinking and gambling, and feeling why he got it is a very personal question that seems to relate to a similar process.

[monkeywrench]

The 5 and the surrounding design is a tattoo that he got for "Party of 5" along with many of that cast.

Thats what it means

[monkeywrench]

actually, his tat is the "Aum" symbol. its not the #5


It's a 5 buddy and he isn't the only one from that show that has it. The aum symbol looks like a number 3

[monkeywrench]

What is the "aum" symbol?

Pls explain for a daft human being like myself.


http://www.arikah.com/encyclopedia/Aum

[sweetsunray]

The 5 and the surrounding design is a tattoo that he got for "Party of 5" along with many of that cast.

Thats what it means

Yeah, in reality. But they can't have that as meaning for the character Jack. I mean Christopher Reeves was in an actual wheelchair, and he did a movie while he was already paralyzed up to the neck. I'm sure that in the script they had a fictuous reason why the character that Christopher Reeves played was paralyzed up to the neck.

So, Matthew Fox had a Party of Five tattoo. And the writers of Lost incorporated that tattoo in the story of Jack, the character Matthew plays. And the interesting thing is to find out what reasons fictuous Jack had for having a tattoo like that (although I agree the 5 in Lost with Jack has to do with the counting to 5 method).

[sweetsunray]

The aum symbol looks like a number 3

Yup, looks like a 3... But I always spelled it as Ohm. Ohm stands for the sound of the time of creation of the universe.

I posted this last summer. I've always thought that Jack's tattoo will be explained as a star chart for the way off the island.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/0903/clayseason/lost/thewayout.jpg

[Mysterious Mike]

He walks among us , but he is not one of us.

[Brian]

Finally. Only took 'em 2 1/2 seasons to answer that simple question. I was expecting more than that. Pfft.

[sweetsunray]

Guess we'll have to wait a couple of epis more to be able to understand the translation of his tattoo, and how it's relevant to the Losties, beside the obvious correlation that Jack will now live with the Others while he isn't an Other.

Do like it that the tattoo is regarded as a mark. That's how I see tattoos, a visible, outward mark about who you are, about a time period in your life (with many a rough period). And that's how I see mine as well.

[Mysterious Mike]

I think the reason he says " that's what it says but thats not what it means " was him agreeing with Bai Ling's assessment , I can't remember the characters name , that he is a leader and can be a great man but that makes him a loner , frightened and angry.

[monkeywrench]

I told you it was a 5(from Party of 5) and not an Ahm/Ohm symbol. You guys look to deep sometimes.

[Brian]

Jack was in Party of 5? I thought that was Matthew Fox.

Anyway, you are correct. Matthew Fox's tattoos are related to Party of 5, however, the actor kept them on LOST and TPTB decided to make them part of the character, Jack.

[Lost Freaks]

When Jack walks in the rec room to talk to Kate, you notice hi tats are gone.....I just got done watching again and i still dont see it......let me know if im blind or what.

To keep continuity, I think it's still there, just difficult to see. That tattoo, the one on the inside of his left arm is hard to see most of the time.

Has anyone else noticed the tattoos on Jack's LEFT arm. They are kind of on the inside of his arm around the elbow. They look like a bunch of stars or something. There was a quick glimpse of them in the episode tonight when he sits on the beach with Juliet and also in last weeks episode. Can anyone grab a screenshot? Has anyone else noticed this?

Hello sherban1988 and Welcome to Losttv-forum.com, the best Lost devoted site on the internet. Please check out the New Member Welcome and Introduction (http://www.losttv-forum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=25440) thread if you haven't done so already. Have fun and look around and I hope to be posting with you soon.

Now, I have to say, when I saw this thread I almost had a heart attack at the tender age of 25. We have had so many threads the 'infamous' tattoo but never because the poster wanted to GET the tattoo. So, with that said, I will actually be kind and do some of the legwork for you.

I'm not sure if you're going to be able to get a good enough picture to be able to take to an artist, but here ya go nonetheless. I would also try a Google search if you are really intent on finding an accurate photo.

Ok, firstly, judging by your username, you are....what...19? Why the hell would you want Fox's tattoo? You know its not just for Lost, its a deeply personal piece of art the actor had done after leaving Party Of Five. It would mean nothing to you! This is from someone who has 19 tattooes, I have never ever copied a PICTURE, let ALONE someones elses work. If I was Fox, I would be offended.

If everyone else is smart, they won't post a picture of Fox's tattoo.

So much for that idea.

See, I knew I shoulda just stuck to what I am good at and just posted a sardonic witticism.

Too bad there are about a bazillion of them thanks to the wonderful world of screencaps, etc.

Merging with the Jack's Tattoos thread. Feel free to continue looking there.

Just wondering if you all everybody were aware that...Jack will be having a flashforward next season to explain how he has laser surgery to remove his tattoos. He's replacing them with Jack n Kate 4 ever. With a little heart.
