If you're referring to the "thing" on the back of Jamie's head, I think he mentioned in an interview that I saw on TVOne that it's a fake tatoo for an upcoming movie, and it'll be gone at the completion of the movie.

You're right btb. The tattoo is for the upcoming film Jughead.

Thanks Gina! I didn't know the name of the movie (which is what I get for not listening to the whole interview!)

And why did I see "The Archies" (comics) singing "Sugar - oh, honey honey" when you said Jughead? (Did I just tell my age?)

Naw, I used to read Archie all the time. I used to wish I could have Veronica's house and father.

I did the same thing. I'm like "now, who was black on the Archies?"

Oops, my bad. The correct title of the film is Jarhead. Here is a brief synopsis from www.imdb.com:

Jarhead (the self-imposed moniker of the Marines) follows "Swoff" (Gyllenhaal), a third-generation enlistee, from a sobering stint in boot camp to active duty, sporting a sniper's rifle and a hundred-pound ruck on his back through Middle East deserts with no cover from intolerable heat or from Iraqi soldiers, always potentially just over the next horizon. Swoff and his fellow Marines sustain themselves with sardonic humanity and wicked comedy on blazing desert fields in a country they don't understand against an enemy they can't see for a cause they don't fully fathom... Foxx portrays Sergeant Sykes, a Marine lifer who heads up Swofford's scout/sniper platoon, while Sarsgaard is Swoff's friend and mentor, Troy, a die-hard member of STA-their elite Marine Unit.
