Something like that always comes to mind when I see non-Chinese folk with those tatoos. Hope it happens often

Maybe the tattoo was a failed suicide attempt if the guy was in US military?

The only serious explaination that comes to my mind was that the guy got this tatoo on his de-mob as a KGB troops enlisted man...

That also may be possible. Maybe it was to tell people when he wasnt wearing uniform, "You Behave!!!, I Was KGB!"

I had a patient once

She was active duty Army enlisted and had a DDR flag tatoo on her shoulder from a 1989 tour in Berlin. I use the picture in lectures as an example that before you have a flag tatoo placed, make sure the country isn't about to go belly up. This shows it in mid-removal process. We still don't have good lasers for green.

Was there ever even yellow on the bottom? Or was it just left skin color?
