Get Up Close And Personal With Jared Leto’s Joker Tattoos

Several days ago, Warner Bros.’ Suicide Squad was released on Digital HD, and for those of you that purchased it on VUDU, one of the special features offers a closer look at many of the tattoos that cover The Joker’s (portrayed by Oscar-winner Jared Leto) body from his head to his waist.

1. His facial tattoos include “Damaged” placed on the center of his forehead, a lone “J”-teardrop on his left-cheekbone, and a lone star on his right temple.
2. The upper right-side of his chest features an evil skull wearing a jester hat.
3. The upper left-side of his chest features numerous “HA HA HA” tattoos, which is a nod to an iconic image from Alan Moore and Brian Bolland’s The Killing Joke, and a separate tatoo featuring a four of kind, with the ace of spades on top and an “ALL IN” caption. Also, the suit’s symbol has a skull inside of it.
4. The smile tattoo on the back of his left hand.
5. “HA HA HA” tattoos on his left forearm.
6. The ink on his right bicep is of a knife puncturing Batman’s bat symbol.
7. Lastly, the arrow through the heart of a robin. A clear reference to The Joker murdering Jason Todd, The Dark Knight’s loyal and courageous sidekick.
