Cat's Tattoo

[AriesRain]

Bones never mentions Cat's matching tattoo. I would have loved to have known what he thought about that. It seems like something that would have affected him tremendously. Is anyone else curious about that?

[jaxon]

You're right, he never does mention it and we all known he's been all over her body. Although, I'm more interested in knowing what it LOOKS like. Visually. Is there a copy of it anywhere Jeaniene?

[Syd Gill]

That's a good question AriesRain...I had forgotten about the tattoo all together!

It's just a crossbones like the one Bones has and if you go look at the HTTG trailer on Jeaniene's website one of the images show Bones' tattoo...I just imagine Cat's as a smaller version of that one.

I was very curious about that, too! When Ian saw the tattoo, I thought, "Oh, I can't wait to see what Bones says about it!" But then it never came up again. Maybe Jeaniene didn't have a chance to work it in?

Although Bones did make a small reference to Cat using his last name (at Denise's wedding), which made me laugh.

this is a question i have been asking myslef for a while now as well
i hope we find out Bones' reaction to the tattoo

Chalk it up to the infamous cutting room floor of revisions . I had written a scene where Bones first saw Cat's tattoo and his reaction to it. Originally it was at the GiGi club, and Cat had taken off her bridesmaid dress to fight the vamps because it wasn't flexible enough. So she was in her bra and underwear when Bones came in, and thus, he had a clear view of the tat. But, the scene got amended to where Cat kept her dress on - blocking the view - and then Cat and Bones hunt down the other vamps there, so the tat doesn't come into play.

Then, the first time they get to it (heh), Cat's still wearing a dress. The second time is off-page, so the reader doesn't get a detail of Bones's reaction when he sees the tat. It's just how that worked out.

Oh, and the tattoo on Bones's arm on the book trailer is NOT how I picture his tat, but I wasn't going to make my then-web designer redo it. Bones's tattoo is not filled in, it's just an outline of the cross bones. One day, I will have temporary tattoos made from my image of Bones's tat, and use them as giveaways (but not for a couple months, folks. Time/money constraints and all that .

the tattoo tattoo's are a great idea Jeaniene
i would deff get one
if its not too much to ask :
how did you envision Bones' reaction when he first saw the tattoo?

[Erin]

Thanks for explaining that, Jeaniene. Do you think one day we might get to see that deleted scene (Bones' reaction to the tat) on your website? No pressure, lol.

And temp cross bones tattoos--what a great idea!

[AriesRain]

Thank you for filling us in. That is a deleted scene I would love to read!! I have mixed ideas on how he would have reacted.

Thanks again!
