What are some of the most iconic tattoos in movies or TV? This could mean cases where the tattoos played an important role in the movie OR the character became so famous that his tattooed face is a pop culture symbol

Few that come to mind:
Girl with the dragon tattoo
Waterword, Enola having a tatoo with a meaningful message on it
The main character of Prison Break having the map on himself

Are Harley Quinn and the Joker supposed to have tattooed faces or is it all just makeup? Same question for Darth Maul

what other examples can you think of?

American History X, Swastika
Red Dragon, Tattoo on the back of Ralph Fiennes
Hitman, Barcode on the back of his head
Memento, basically a mayor plot device
Constantin, protection tattoos on his arm.

Place beyond the pines

Night of the Hunter

Once We Were Warriors

American History X and Constantine were the first that I thought of.

Val Kilmer's arm tattoos in Felon.
Guy Pearce's in Memento.

Kind of surprised more aren't coming to mind.

Its iconic tattoos ... not just a guy with tattoos

the movie is modern classic imo so it is iconic for me and many others

Justin Theroux's huge back piece in The Leftovers. It is a real tattoo too.
