Tattoo on Jabba's arm

[BlueDog]

I guess I've never really paid much attention to "the slime ridden piece of filth" before but just noticed in a pic of Jabba online that he has a tattoo on his right forearm. To my surprise looking at the Jabba playset the figure has the tattoo in the sculpt. I'm probably late with this tidbit of information but I'd never seen this mentioned before. There you go all these years and still learning. :lol:

Nope, never knew that either Ryan. Gonna have a google myself now to see it.

New to me as well Ryan, never noticed it on the Jabba figure, just looked it up...

Hutt clans have ritual "scarred" tattoos in reference to the nal hutta legacy and depict power.

Just stumbled across this thread...
It's something I never noticed, but is drawn on Jabba in the Manga version of ROTJ, and I thought it was just a bit of artistic license from the writers, but now I have to check it out too
