Okay, that makes sense about the culture thing vs. outsiders of any kind. Do you think it could also be a bit about Belief (faith) within the culture (we really believe in this) vs. outsiders might think its cool, but don't really respect or believe in it? What did Jack's tattoos say (translated) vs. what did they really mean?
