Tattoos in True Blood , Sookie Stackhouse books and on Anna

Here are some of the times tattoos appear in the Sookie books .

Bk 1 Liam

One had a buzz cut and tattoos on every visible inch of his skin. ( Liam)

Bk 2 Chow

"Tattoos," Pam said, sounding almost human for a moment. "He's tall for an Asian, and he has a wonderful set of . . . tattoos." Chow would bring in customers. He was the first Asian vampire I'd seen, and he was extremely handsome. He was also covered—at least the parts I could see—with that intricate tattooing that I'd heard members of the Yakuza favored. Whether Chow had been a gangster when he was human or not, he was certainly sinister now. Also in in bk 3 and 4
Godric
I saw in her mind the image of the blond tattooed vampire, the very young-looking one...ancient blue tattooing on his arms and torso...The tattoos were from the time of the Romans, I think. They were crude but interesting..He'd gotten the tattoos while he was alive, and they were very strange, symbols whose meaning had been lost centuries ago,
Bk 3 Werewolf that attacks Sookie
This particular dead man had been in his forties, and every year of that had been hard. He had tattoos all over his arms, mostly of the poor quality you get in jail, and he was missing some crucial teeth. He was dressed in what I thought of as biker clothes: greasy blue jeans and a leather vest, with an obscene T-shirt underneath.

Bk 6 bartender at Hair of the Dog
The bartender, a biker type with beard and hair of considerable length and tattoos that covered his bare arms, reached down below the bar. I knew he was pulling out a shotgun.

Bk 7 Carla

"Her breasts had been enhanced, and her ears were pierced, and her belly button, too. She had a tattoo on her lower back, some black vines in a vee pattern with a couple of roses with green leaves in the middle. I could see all this because Carla was naked, and she didn’t seem to have the slightest idea that her nudity was a little on the “too much information” side to suit me."

Bk 8 FotS guys in bar

"He was thin, had a beard fringe along his jaw, was decorated with a few tattoos that looked like home jobs to me—jail tats—and he was carrying a knife strapped to his ankle, a thing that hadn’t been too hard for me to spot once I’d heard in his mind that he was armed.

Book 9 Octavia's friend Louis
"He was one of the blackest men I’d ever seen, and his face was tattooed with circles around the eyes. Despite his fearsome decorations, he looked calm and agreeable. He rose to his feet when I came in"
Twice having something tattooed on your forehead is mentioned :

Bk 8 when the FotS guys are kicked out of Merlotte's
“You haven’t seen the last of us” tattooed on their foreheads.

Bk 4 when sookie arrives at Merlotte's with Claudine
"Doesn't every gal want to walk into a room side by side with a gorgeous woman who practically has "I want to fuck" tattooed on her forehead?

I do know that Anna has a tattoo of an "A" on the inside of her right ankle see photo right.
