Random and long after you've posted, but answering one of your questions: Marlee Matlin is not tattooed (not that I've ever seen...she's Jewish and if she follows the "laws" she can't have tattoos.) And I think Jodi actually has both wrists tattooed with similar, if not identical, tattoos.

:)

Thanks! Yeah, I didn't think Marlee had tattoos (or I reckon I'd have seen them before), but then when I started paying attention to Jodi's wrists she just seemed to keep them out of sight in every single scene, or wear long sleeves, so I wasn't sure. I'm gonna look for them again when I watch the re-runs.

You can't have tattoos if you're Jewish? I think several of my Jewish friends have tattoos, but then I have Muslim friends who eat pork, too, so I guess we're all pretty liberal.

Thanks again for anwering!

Well, I'm technically Jewish and I have 3 tattoos. But Jewish laws state that you cannot modify your body beyond reversing, thus why piercing an ear is okay, as you are supposed to return to the earth with the skin you were born with. Or something like that. I never paid much attention in Hebrew school...
