Title: Actor's Tattoos
Post by: TheVoiceOfNick on October 20, 2003, 05:40:00 PM
There was recently a thread about tattoos, so I thought this would give people some food for thought...

I've seen lots of actors have tattoos in real life... but you rarely see an actor with the same tattoos in the same movie (i.e. they show their real tattoos on screen more than once)... or maybe not?  

Has anyone seen an actor with known tattoos show those tattoos in two different movies playing two different characters?  It'd be interesting to see...

i want to know how in 8 mile, none of Em's tats are visible at all.  He is in a tanktop in direct light and his arms look flawless

The band-aid on the back of Ving Rhames neck in Pulp Fiction covers at one of his tattoos.

Anyway, best fake tattoos: Red Dragon and Cape Fear, probably.

Actually...

From IMDb:

"The band-aid on Marcellus Wallace's neck was there because actor Ving Rhames had a scar there that the makeup people felt wound be too distracting during that scene."

Tattoos and scars are the same thing.

Makeup people are smart. Because, you know, on a black guy like Ving Rhames, scars are much more distracting than a band-aid.

Well, QT saw it and liked the look of it, so he said to keep it on...

How about Danny Trejo? His big chest tattto is always there, but it's usually changed slightly from movie to movie.

I've always wondered what kind of makeup they use to cover tattoos. For folks like Eminem or Mark Whalberg, it must be a pretty heavy base, but they can still do scene without a shirt (or in a pool, a la Boogie Nights) and it looks totally natural.
