Some info on Ian's tattoos
Watching one of National Geographic's documentaries I learnt the following: the tattoos worn by Ian on his shoulders are the first tattoo's a boy of
the Iban tribe of Borneo gets. Each petal of the eggplant represents a level of patience. The more petals the more patient you become. The spiral is a
lifeline and ensures safety when travelling.

Yes, I saw that too! It's the "Taboo" thing on National Geographic. Do you know if he did those tatoos like the traditional Borneo way? I was really
curious...

The number of petals of the flower indicate how much patience. The more there are the more patient you will be.
I said "Elemental" and just then, it started to rain.
