Tattoos


John had six tattoos on his arms (nowhere else, unlike the rest of the RHCP who have them on their backs, legs, chest and even heads); yet one of them has been completely covered by skin graphs, so it’s not visible anymore. And 5 of 6 have been damaged. The only one that’s not damaged at all is the tribal design on his left shoulder. These images should give you a clue about which tattoo is where and for those which have been damaged, there’s a photo of how it looked like before and how it looks like now.

Left shoulder - tribal design
Left inner wrist - a tribal pattern and the face
* The face was inspired by the cover image on Ornette Coleman’s album "Dancing In Your Head".
Right shoulder - Octopus
Right inner wrist - RHCP asterisk

Right upper wrist - man and woman making love
