Why did Michael make so many tattoos?
I understand the tattoos needed for some heavy stuff like the blueprints of Fox River or the Devil's face so the holes would be perfectly exact, but I just cannot imagine any reason for some of them like the Christ in a Rose or even Rip Chance Woods. Like surely someone like Michael can be bothered to remember a few pretty distinct names or things that he would've had to dedicate some pretty decent time to setting up. Staking out a grave and digging and stashing all the supplies for Rip Chance Woods and making calls or whatever was needed to get the Christina Rose with that lady. I get that it was probably just there in the show so that Mahone had a way of keeping up with them because plot needs to plot, but do you guys think there was any legitimate reasons for some of these tattoos?
