A few words about the tattoo from Greg Nicotero at KNB Effects: "The tattoo was created by the straight make-up department with a bit of help from us. If I'm not mistaken, it was either Ermahn Ospina or Heidi Grotsky that painted it on every day with tattoo inks. When George had to go back to shooting ER, we (KNB) took a cast of his neck and made a stencil that fit directly to George's neck that they could then airbrush the colors directly through the stencil and onto his skin."
The tattoo had to be removed at the end of each day with a blow
dryer
and gasoline.
