Clone Tattoo Headcanons
Yes so now I’m thinking about this and so I thought I’d stare my thoughts! (I also have mentioned a few of these in fics so I thought I’d just explain it here)
Universal
All the clones have their CT or CC number on their wrist
I am pretty sure the Kaminoans can’t tell them apart or don’t care enough to do so but if they have their number right there on their wrist then they automatically know which clone is which
Many troopers chose to get a cover up over their number but others don’t
When a clone joins a battalion they get a band of their battalion’s color
Like the 501st has a blue band on their left bicep, the Coruscant guard has a rad band around their right forearm
The 104th had a maroon band around their tricep but after Malevolence the survivors got two gray bands on top and bottom of the maroon.
Jesse
obviously his big ass Republic cog tattoo
He 100% got that while absolutely shit faced drunk but the only one that knows this is Fives. Kix had wanted a night off and Echo was recovering from an injury so Fives and Jesse went out drinking together
Jesse absolutely will never admit that he was drunk when he got the tattoo and Fives will never tell anybody he was because then Jesse would tell everyone about the embarrassing Fives also got while he was also shit faced
Jesse definitely has a sleeve on his right arm that is starting to extend to his chest and shoulder
It consists of imagery from planets they’ve visited on campaigns and also contains tributes to his fallen brothers
He has a small blue tattoo mimicking Hardcase’s face tattoos in the sleeve, he has a handprint somewhere near his elbow, and he also has a small 5 hidden in there somewhere as well
Fives
obviously his 5 tattoo on his temple
He has a simplistic style Z-6 Rotary blaster on his tricep as a tribute to Hevy (Echo has the same design)
He and Echo got 99 tattooed on their back right side to honor 99
He has a detailed krayt dragon skull on his back
He has the words ‘call me captain’ on the inside of his left arm (definitely wasn’t drunk)
After the citadel Fives got a small handprint tattooed where Echo’s handprint had been on his own armor
The tattoo that he will never speak of is a replica of one of the 212ths ship nose art depicting Commander Cody in a twi’lek dancer pose, complete with the bare legs and over exaggerated proportions.
And its on his left ass cheek.
Jesse has a picture of this tattoo and will use it as blackmail
Echo
he also has the same Z-6 rotary blaster design but its on his right thigh
He has a detailed Rishi eel down his spine to honor Cutup
He has a matching 99 tattoo with fives
After joining the 501st he got a skeleton handprint on his chest under where Rex’s handprint is on his armor
definitely has his favorite reg manual protocol tattooed somewhere, but its not the whole protocol, just the number (its order 69 because he things its absolutely hilarious and he was a little drunk)
He as the words “or call me sir” on the inside of his left arm (definitely wasn’t drunk)
after he is rescued from Skako minor he gets a 5 tattooed over his heart
On his left arm he gets 4 dominos, 1/0-5/0 but the 3rd domino is missing because that was his number in their squad
Under his 501st blue band he gets a new red and black band for his new squad
Hardcase
obviously his cool blue face and head tattoos, oh and those extend down his back and arm where the line turns into his 501st blue band
he has his favorite rotary blaster tattooed with a name banner and flowers around it on his right arm
The name is Jennifer because he names his blasters
he would probably get a quote he really likes on his forearm
Rex
he has a tribute to all his closest brothers down his right side
handprint for Echo, 5 for Fives, blue for Hardcase, lightning bolts for Kix, republic cog for Jesse, tear drop for Tup, V for Dogma, Wolffe pack symbol for Wolffe, red band for Fox, Bly’s yellow face markings, etc
he has a script tattoo on his side from an old mandalorian story that Jango told the cadets when they were young, Cody has the same script as Rex
he got the Fulcrum symbol after Malachor
Let me know if you want to see anymore!
