Not said, per se, but the tattoos have been featured in cover art. Notably, the cover for Chapter 27 and the infamous TOWTM bust picture.
I, along with the help of several luminaries here on the forums, have done considerable analysis, conjecture and theorizing on the nature and meaning behind the tattoo; here in the theory section of the forum.
While we have been able to assign possible meanings to individual segments... we really haven't been able to cohesively tie it together. It is as if we have been given a jigsaw, but there are several puzzles in the box, though we don't know how many and there are a lot of pieces missing.
A formula you say? Have a look for yourself. Buckle up first, you're about to go for a roller-coaster ride down the rabbit hole.

Hey, get a load of this. Guess who started writing again and has a spot in the fan fiction subforum?
Need a break fromtheories, or just something to take your mind off poor Datu, Glenn and Jay?
Head over to the Reptrivia area when today's quiz just posted a few minutes ago and the weekly quiz is quite a doozie. Offering Rep and a few bottles of water to anyone who can score a perfect 100%. As of right now nobody has been able to do it yet (though several have been extremely close).
Come test your We're Alive knowledge and have some fun. Will you you be the first to get a perfect score?

I actually found this thread two nights ago, and I've got to admit, it is by far the mist interesting and in depth analysis I've seen on here. The theories you and others raised from Ink's symbols were really insightful and I think I'm going to have to read it over again a few times in order for my brain to fully digest it all
Am I also right in assuming that the "follistatin shopping list" note found at Raydon Labs in Chapter 39 also contained strange symbols that Michael et al could't decipher? Perhaps on some level, the biters can decipher them. That would explain how they instantly recognised Ink as their leader when he escaped the prisoner van, and would also explain how they were actually able to read the note aswell.

I am actually kinda shocked that we didn't get more information about Ink's tattoos when we found the court records.......
usually they take pictures of tattoos when you enter any kind of jail or prison so that they can keep up with things like gang activity, etc, etc.....
Unless we are going to take a trip to the jail where ink was held.......
I have been going back listening to past episodes trying to figure out who Victor might know that no one else does.
And the episode where Tardust is talking about how the zombies are scared of Bricks because he can just rip their arms off........
Tardust says something like "This other time when we were at the jail....." and then he stops as something happens outside.
But, as a prisoner, why would you get out of prison and then go back to a jail??? Looking for something maybe???
