People pick the weirdest things to dwell on. We have five weeks between the last issue and the next one that need to be filled by talking about something...

He wouldn't have had it before he was vamped... as it is an A and his name was Liam. Agreed, and since the tattoo was associated with the Scourge of Europe, I assumed that it was the mark of Angelus, and not Angel. Meaning that it probably wasn't attained in the 70s. Although, for the Watchers to actually have records of it... you'd think that Angelus either reveled in shirtlessness or was some kinda exotic dancer. I mean, I understand that some of them were obsessed with vampires; didn't one of them write her thesis on Spike? But to have records... either Angel wasn't very careful about where he got nekkid, or he made it his mark (which is almost certainly the case)... but even then, it's a tattoo on his back. Not quite Voldemort's black mark. How did it become public knowledge?

He could have gotten it when he was still human. Yes, his name was Liam, but we never found out what his last name was--maybe it started with 'A'. Like Ahmoud. That's Irish, isn't it?
Okay, yeah, he probably got it after he became a vampire...

Wonder if its connected with him wearing a white shirt in the first flashbacks we got to the "first night" events (when he jumps off the roof and finds he's human) rather than the black shirt he was wearing in NFA. That seemed random to me when I saw it.

I don't think his tattoo has ever been explained. It was just always there. As for dwelling on the tattoo, I think I just always associate the tattoo with naked Angel lol. And really who can blame me. In fact, I'm going to continue to dwell on that... Me too. So many fantasies has to be modified now... *naked angel, no tattoo, naked angel, no tattoo* I remember a fic where spike remembers how Angelus got tattooed by Darla. Spike remembered his granrsires screams. It was a fond memory. I like that picture, so I'm going with the theory that he got the tat as a vamp. lol I'm evil.

Okay, yeah, he probably got it after he became a vampire... His last name is O'Connor. It's seen on his gravestoone in season 1 of Angel. That's probably why he named Connor Connor, because it was his dad name(I think it was custom to have your father's name as your own lastname back then in irland)

Coz Angel seems like a masochist, although I can't remember exactly why I think so. Pretty sure there are tons of references to this, but I'm proctoring an exam right now, and can't dwell on it.

His last name is O'Connor. It's seen on his gravestoone in season 1 of Angel. Was it? Geez, I've watched that episode so many times, and never noticed that. (*scrambles for S1 DVD set*) That's why it's worth it to watch these shows over and over: there's always something new to discover that you didn't see the last time...

After the first 2 seasons of Buffy I never even really thought about the tattoo anymore. Whenever I started re-watching the DVD's I was like "Angel had a tattoo? Wow. I totally forgot that."

His last name is O'Connor. It's seen on his gravestoone in season 1 of Angel. skytteflickan88, can you post a screencap, or at least give a detailed description of exactly where you can see that? 'Cause I looked thru the funeral scene in "The Prodigal", and all I can see on his gravestone is "Beloved Son, 1727-1753"... which is all I ever remembered being shown. If there's another shot where his last name is visible, I can't seem to find it.
