Anyone know what the tattoo on Tony’s arm is? I have never been able to get a clean shot of it to figure it out.

Also, is it a real tattoo or just something put on for the show?

Thanks

SFP

It appears to be a tiger/puma/panther I think.

Yes,  
That’s the one. I found that pic when I did a search before I posted the question… I just don’t see the tattoo’s image clearly enough. I do see a cat’s head at the top, but that’s about it.
