Freakshow Lore Question

Hi guys, I'm writing about a freakshow member atm, and I was wondering if anyone could give me a name for the tatoo in the middle of their foreheads.

I just cant get a good enough glimpse of it in game to figure out what the heck it is. (And they tend to fall on their faces when their dead. )

I'm not sure if it even has a name. As far as I know, it's their group symbol.

Looks like a stylized anarchy symbol, if nothing else. (Very stylized.)

(For those who are wondering, there's a picture of it somewhere here.)

It's the same symbol that Lord Recluse uses, although I'm not certain if it has an official name or not.

No, the Arachnos symbol is some sort of stylized red spider (well, the spider legs, at least).

Are you sure about this? Doesnt look like arachnos's symbol. But that's ok, cause story wise we dont yet know about him.

It is definitely not the Arachnos symbol.

Oh I never even noticed they all had matching tatoos on their heads. I guess I'm too busy using it as a target for where to plant my foot.

Wow, I need to pay more attention to the eye candy in this game.

So...if they all have matching tats on thier heads...what about on their hands? And where's the beast and the number '666'?!

Oh man, I love that stylised purple anarchy symbol. I wish it actually appeared on the Tank Smasher badge (as well putting the Vahzilok "Circled V" patch/tattoo on the Gravedigger badge). Barring that, I'd love to see it on a badge for some sort of special mission/event/taskforce against the Freakshow.

The weird thing is that looks like one of the old planescape faction symbols for me - not exactly mind you, just in general style. I dunno if that's because I've been re-reading the stuff lately for use in a 'real life' game but eh.

Of course, The planescape references are all over the game anyway, even before Lord Recluse got his ... bits into it. heh.

And spank Go_Sabres too. I guess I stand corrected then. I'll have to pay more attention to the details of the baddies in the comics. The old 'assumption' adage.

Yeah, he's discovering new variations on this power all the time... quite possibly none of them more useful than the teleport-spank.

I'll have to go find a freak and check out the tatoo on their heads now. Last time I zoomed into one to check it out, it didn't look like the symbol in the link. Instead it looked like a black spider.

Or maybe my graphics card is the suxxor...

They paint it on the walls sometimes too. I just recently saw it in the mission where Nemesis is selling weapons to the Freaks (one of the coolest looking maps ever... mostly due to lighting).

Techno-anarchy.

It really does have a chitinous look about it, though. I suppose that could reflect their metallic blades and hardware more than a connection to Arachnos (perhaps the little dots on the circle are rivets).

Still -- CONSPIRACY!

Remember, in the original CoV video, it was Freakshow supporting Lord Recluse, not that group he has with him now. It's possible it has spider undertones.

The Freakshow logo is a stylized Anarchy symbol.

How's this? The freakshow symbol is a stylized Anarchy symbol... that looks sorta like a stylized spiderish symbol if you squint, look sideways, and don't think about it too much?

Also remember that the Freakshow will work for anyone who provides sandwiches and a keg.

Isn't that how the Phalanx recruited Synapse?

Hey, with that pay scale, where can I signup? They already have awsome health benefits. Have a splinter? We'll amputate and here's a robotic arm.
