Tattoos--ANSWERED.


I noticed that his bio says he has five tattoos on his right arm for various events in his life that are significant.
Can anyone tell me what the small, square looking one is, or what it means?

Also, there is one that appears to be... Hindi or Thai? I am not entirely sure, and can't find a really clear picture of it. Would appreciate it if anyone could explain the meaning of it :)

I tried google but didn't get any conclusive answers.

The first one he got was two squares with adjoining lines. He has mention he just wanted a tattoo at the time and didn't care what it was, so I don't think it has a meaning.

The second is the tribal arm band tattoo.

He has the word, "Compassion", written in Hindi above the tribal tattoo.

He has a heart tattoo on his forearm with his sons' name, Cormac and Hunter, written inside. Above it is his first son's initial and birthday and below is his wife's initial.

The last one, below the heart tattoo, has the initial "WZ" to commemorate his directorial debut, The War Zone.

I think that's it.
