#but joseph’s swallows not sure
Joseph’s tattoos and scars
For anyone who needs this :)
(click on the pictures to see them)
His tattoos say:
Redeemed us to God by thy Blood
- COME AND SEE
- (John 1:9)
- There before me was a White Horse
All seven Deadly Sins (SLOTH,LUST,GLUTTONY,ENVY,PRIDE,GREED,WRATH) are carved on his body, as well as (Revelation) (right upper arm).
I’m intrigued by the birds, because I’ve seen them described as doves, but they look like classic swallow tattoos. They are holding twigs (olive branches) like the dove on the ark, but they’re a bit colourful. They look like tattoos Joseph got before the Project, and I wonder why.
And I think I’ve seen the arrows before, but they hit a little differently now with the symbolism. “…he who sat on it had a bow…and he went out conquering and to conquer”
They definitely look like swallows to me too, and so does the bird tattooed above the chair on John’s left arm (although that one looks weird and gloomier). I’m not sure what they’re supposed to mean, though, since swallows can symbolize many different things…
And I knew that the crown, also visible on Joseph’s vest (and his jacket, even though he never actually wears it in Far Cry 5) represented Conquest, the first horseman of the apocalypse, but I hadn’t realized the arrows most likely were a reference to this too!
