Okay all you Adam Bladwin/Jayne cobb super-fans?

What the heck is his tattoo in Bushwacked?

I freezed-framed it and couldn't make it out. But I did enjoy looking at those big big arms.

Is it Adam's or Jayne's?

Anybody?

thanks!

I cant make that tattoo out, but it was a fake-o nonetheless since I believe Adam said he doesnt have any tats during the Flanvention Q&A.

I'll be in my bunk.

What scene is it in? Bushwhacked isn't my favorite episode and it's been awhile since I've seen it. still-flying.net might have a good screencap.

Here's the best I can find:

Looks like a pink kitty with boxing gloves on?

ha ha ha!

See, I'd say first picture- pink kitty with boxing gloves.

But the second and third picture looks like a giant squid bending over and holding a round chinese symbol of some sort.

fourth picture- oh, what I wouldn't do to be Jayne's hand.

Quite a mystery, maybe Jayne's tattoo holds the key to Inara's secret and Book's past.

thanks!

Why couldn't he have the tattoo on his forehead? It would be a lot easier to see...

Don't laugh, but to me it looks like one of those Fruity-Oaty Bar, female cartoon characters, riding a stylized Chinese dragon, possibly with a scorpion type tail curled up over her head.

If he did have a tattoo on his forehed it should read "Poor impulse control."

I could see it being a dragon, that was my first guess.

But really, where do you think he got it? and when and why?

I thought it was a Chinese Dragon, around the circle with the 4 elements in it (or a cool spiked out ying-yang)....
I have a similar image on my purse....

The court of this obsession, is abstracted from possession which when the worlds of outside in fall.

It's a red dragon with a ying yang symbol. (This screencap is from Ariel)

Yes, I've heard that it's just a fake tattoo, and that Adam doesn't have a real one! So, in Serenity, right at the end, before Mal speaks to Inara, when he passes Jayne, his tattoo was put on for just a second of screen time! Who woulda thunk that the Serenity make-up people would be THAT dedicated, to put a glimpse of Jayne in sleeveless top *sigh* and put the tatoo on for just a glimpse like that??!!

Maybe the make up artists were fans too?... Anyhow, I thank them!
If they went to that much trouble with it there must be a story behind it. Probably one of those things that Joss never got to expand on. Add it to the long list Stupid Fox.
I wonder if Joss has ever been asked about it?
