Headcanons - Tattoos

This is the big comprehensive post to go over my muses and the tattoos they have! I have linked photos that are similar in style or content to the corresponding character’s tattoos but not an exact match!

Lázaro Vega - X X X 

Lázaro has a large back tattoo and tattoos on his upper arms. He is hoping to get the rest of his arms done so that he has to full sleeves! His overall theme is botanical, of course, Lázaro having a literal garden on his skin. 

Angus Mannix Kierney - X X X X

As a tattoo artist, Angus prides himself in his collection. Nearly every inch of Angus is tattooed minus his face, palms, bottoms of his feet, and, uh, places where the sun don’t shine. He has no set theme, most of the tattoos on his left arm and legs used as practice for his craft. It’s clear to see his early attempts at tattooing— he isn’t ashamed of them, seeing as he feels he’s become much better and one can’t forget where they’ve been. He works mostly in an older fashion sort of style, heavy shading and using limited, high saturated colors when he actually decides to use color. He also definitely has a “MOM” tattoo...because even bastards sometimes love their mamas. 

Anton Poplawski - X X 

Anton never likes to bring attention to his arm tattoo, seeing as it’s an identifying mark that someone may witness and use to link him to his crimes. He often will wrap the area up before performing a kill on the off chance his arms become exposed. It is of a dagger, rather similar to the one he usually uses for murder, with two roses intertwined with it. It’s in memory of his parents, not so much in remembrance of them but of their deaths. One being the first death he ever witnessed. One being the first death he caused. 

Doyle Ulysses Donnelly “Dude” - X X X X X 

Dude has a few tattoos he got during his longer sentences in jail. They’re not representative of his crimes but simply something to do while bored in your cell. He mostly has them on his inner left arm and has a hula girl done by a fellow inmate on his upper right bicep.

Lawrence Valdis - X

With every set of eyes he successfully collects, Lawrence gets a tattoo on his back (it’s an eye, of course). It’s both used a proper count of his collection and also to further signify his status as a self proclaimed Argus. Each eye is a simple design and rather small so that he can fit a large number on his back, but the irises are all colored in with the corresponding pair’s color.

Sloan Unger - X X X X X X X X 

Again, Sloan’s tattoos are homemade and definitely not very thought out. He’ll put anything he finds funny on his body. Literally. Also quite a few alien themed ones because he loves aliens!

Wei Xu “Wendi” - X X X X X X

Wendi has tattoos purely for aesthetical reasons and none of them relate to her business. They’re also all done in an abstracted watercolor style, Wendi adoring the style. She has a few sayings in both English and Chinese as well as we

Yasmin Kipper - X 

Yasmin isn’t actually too fond of getting the tattoos (it pinches a lot! she’s sensitive!), but she’s got a single one over her left breast— a small, anatomical heart. And it is red! If you ask her about it, she usually just says she thought it was cute...and a little reminder that love always looks a little different in real life than expected.

My favorite junko persona.

I ain’t got time to worry about people that don’t worry about me, I ain’t got time to listen to people that don’t listen to me, I ain’t got time to care about people that don’t care about me.

love backwards is evol (evil) ammo backwards is omma (the omen, about the antichrist) ~ some thoughts on love and its opposite

The Omen & The Exorcist

I think that one of the reasons for the exchange between Mary and John about Rosie being possessed by the devil vs the child of the devil is to tell us that Mary is, despite appearances, bad.  Basically how can Rosie be both (possessed by) the devil and also the spawn of said devil?  Because Rosie is two people, there are two Rosamund Marys: mother and child.  If Rosie can’t both be the devil and the chid of the devil, then maybe they can be one each.  Since Rosie Jr is the daughter or Rosie Sr then we can give her the, ‘spawn of satan’, role leaving us with Mary as actual satan.  (I got a post about this plus Mary has devil horns here).

Love vs Bitterness

So, as of ASiP we have love being a vicious motivator.  Let’s see baby Sherlock tell us that, 

So, the show establishes a dichotomy early on between, ‘love’, and, ‘bitterness’.  So, the opposite of love is bitterness.  

Vivian is accused of leading a life of crime because of, ‘jealousy’.  We can see that as form of bitterness, a type of resentment.  Except as I’ve discussed here, this is a misnomer: what Sherlock is describing in her case is actually, ‘envy’, not, ‘jealousy’.  But, who may have been motivated by jealousy in shooting Sherlock in HLV?  (*eerie HLV whisper*) Mary.

So, things that are the opposite of love according to the show: bitterness, envy, jealousy.  And maybe bitterness is not such a paralytic after all.

Mary has been established as John’s false romantic lead and also a type of Sherlock facsimile, like the Vermeer in TGG: a very close copy but a fake.  

Amo

Now, we see Vivian and Mary closely associated to, ‘amo’, either one of them might have been, ‘the english woman’, who betrayed AGRA.

Here we’re told that Vivian is amo,

But, during the rescue in Georgia it really seems like Mary might be amo.  The ambassador implies she has something up her sleeve: amo.  Then Mary gets there, gives her an outstretched hand and the ambassador gives her a smile and implies she’s been waiting for her.  Sure, there’s ambiguity as to whether she was just waiting for a rescue but to me it seems like there’s a bit of emphasis on a possible connection between them.  Is there recognition in the ambassador’s eyes?  Is she specifically waiting for Mary/amo?  Does Mary know her and is there to save her for personal reasons?  Ones that trump her loyalty to AGRA?  Is amo Mary’s personal code to betray AGRA?  Is it a more essential identity than the R in AGRA?

Mary’s love

Something that’s been discussed in fandom tons is whether on not Mary loves John.  Does she love him?  Is she in love with him?  Is she capable of love?  Or does she love him in her own special sick way: with a possessive love, not a kind love.

What if Mary’s love for John is an unkind type of love that’s like the opposite of love?  Her love is backwards, it’s selfish, it’s evol (evil).  It’s oma, something evil, like in the movie The Omen that John references in TST.  

(Mary as the antichirst, the anti-Sherlock was discussed here, yesterday).

Love is the ammo: it keeps you going, it gives you the power to fight, to survive

Now, love can be a vicious motivator meaning that it’s the thing that motivates you, the thing that fuels you.  It’s the ammo you have against adversity, the raison d’être for us all.  (But, it can also be used as ammo against you as we’ve seen with Moriarty’s threats against Sherlock’s heart and with Magnussen’s pressure points system).  

We have seen Sherlock survive torture in Serbia in TEH (all for the promise of returning back to Baker Street/John) and we’ve seen him will himself to live after flatlining in HLV.  All because amo is his ammo.

Your love is the ammo others use against you: caring is a disadvantage

If you don’t love anybody nobody has any love ammo to use against you.  This is a fine argument for Mary not really loving John or having any true affectionate bonds: it creates too much of a weakness for a spy.  Maybe this is exactly the type of lesson that Mycroft has been trying to teach Sherlock his whole life: if you don't have any amo people won’t have any ammo against you.  Or love makes you weak.

AMO is A’s M.O.

The idea of a modus operandi or M.O. is brought up by Sherlock in HLV.  It’s a reference to Magnussen's pressure points power system.  Now if, ‘amo’, is someone’s M.O., conceivably it cold be the m.o. of someone whose first initial is a.  

Now, who’s A?  Well, we’ve thought of Mary as, ‘Agra’, for a long time now.  Mary said those were her initials in HLV, after all.  So, Agra’s M.O. seems to be, ‘we die’, aka, ‘I die’.  It also seems to be similar to Magnussen’s: using other people’s love against them/to manipulate them.

Mycroft

Now why Mycroft appears with the word, ‘omma’, written next to him opposite Sherlock’s image with the word, ‘ammo’, is not really clear to me.  Is it about Sherlock becoming the anti-Mycroft?  Mycroft tells Sherlock that he’s becoming sentimental and Sherlock’s like, ‘yeah, so what?  That’s me’.  That’s quite a breakthrough.  

Also, if Sherlock is the good guy and Mycroft is forced to work for Moriarty (as per @loudest-subtext-in-tv‘s m-theory) then we could see these two top images as representing Mycroft and Sherlock eventually coming to fight against each other.  It’s been foreshadowed already in HLV, ‘if you go against Magnussen then you will find yourself going against me’.
