Maple Leaf in American Flag tattoo: The maple leaf was first. Later the American flag was added around the maple leaf. The flag has too many stripes, and this annoys Shoeless. This tattoo represents their dual citizenship of Canada and the U.S. Shoeless was born in Canada and moved to the U.S. as a baby. Their dad is Canadian and their mother is American.
Japanese Shoe Kanji tattoo: Shoeless got this at the time when Japanese Kanji was very trendy. Shoeless had been to Japan. Shoeless also wanted something because they had worked at a Girl Scout camp for years. The nickname they had at Girl Scout camp was Shoeless. Shoeless wanted something to symbolize that but did not want to tattoo of a shoe. Shoeless got the Japanese Kanji of shoe, and put it on their foot because they found it funny.
Sun tattoo: This one in one in the display books when they were getting the Kanji. Shoeless went swimming. They were drying the Kanji tattoo and it was new. They forgot that their not supposed to go in chlorine, and the tattoo wiped off. Shoeless had to get a repair, and it was the weekend. The tattoo shop said you have to pay for the repair, but it would be free if you bought another tattoo. Shoeless got the sun tattoo they had been looking at in the book. This is Shoeless’s favorite tattoo.
