I wonder...
...if (*when) we see Chris Meloni's body (*temple) on True Blood, there will be some backstory to the Christ tattoo? Seems like it could be woven in interestingly enough, if we are to presume he's a very old vamp. HOW old? Like...Judas-old? o_O Or perhaps Dismas-old (the penitent thief crucified along with Jesus who asked Jesus to remember him in his kingdom), who is now considered a patron saint for prisoners (even though not canonized) and was on the medal Chris Keller on Oz wore around his neck?
I'm not a religious person but even I can see the fanfic potential there.
