Isn’t the tattoo actually JMO’s that has been written into the show?
All magic comes with a price!
Keeper of FelixIsn’t the tattoo actually JMO’s that has been written into the show?
Yup. And to be honest, it can’t be a coincidence that it looks like a buttercup and that she has been quoted as saying she wants to be Princess Buttercup if she wanted to be any princess. Killian has been compared to Westley in at least half a dozen ways by the writers, Colin and the show itself.
I don’t believe in this kind of coincidence.

Oh wow, her tat makes soooo much more sense now (I just recently watch PB too & was really surprised by all the parallels!) & Captain Eala, thanks for posting those spoilers- I cant wait for this ep Now!!!!! 🙂
Um, I thought the tattoo WASN’T JMO’s but Emma’s. Pretty sure they added that in to every time it would actually be seen AND they made a point of it matching Charming’s shield (I distinctly recall them saying something along those lines) so pretty sure it’s an EMMA tattoo and not a JMO one meaning it has importance to her character specifically and has been there from almost the beginning (pilots are excused but it’s been there ever since and has been seen prominently a few times).
Now I have to go look all that up because I’m pretty sure she doesn’t have a tattoo in real life…
It is interesting though that the tattoo holds significance to her and it matches Charming’s shield. We’ve never been able to pinpoint the exact flower (there have been a few wonderful suggestions, all of which correspond with perfectly plausible reasoning) but it would be very interesting if she gravitated to it for something like Princess Bride (doubtful but the fanfiction would be great, especially her telling Hook about it someday if he asks why she reacts the way she does when he says “As you wish” and then showing him the tattoo – it would be totally cute!) but I know she had it in Tallahassee (can’t remember if she definitely had it before she met Neal or not but she had it when she was arrested for sure cause it’s easy to see when her hands are up).
Off to do research!

Does Emma have a jail tattoo?
JMO: (Laughs) JAIL TATTOOS? No she has a tattoo, but that tattoo she’s had since she was probably 14. I think you’ve seen glimpses of it, it’s on her left wrist, it’s a flower on her left wrist. It hasn’t been featured in any situation yet, you’ll see it more in Episode 6. Just kind of by circumstances, but yeah, it’s definitely a youthful decision on her part but ends up being meaningful in the long run.
This interview was from Sept 28, 2012 and we did see the tattoo in 2×06 when she was arrested. So it’s definitely an Emma thing. Pretty sure JMO doesn’t have any and if Emma’s tattoo is “meaningful in the long run” AND matches Charming’s shield that’s very interesting! (Also if she was “probably 14” when she got it, it’s definitely an Emma thing on her own and not related to anything else – just a happy coincidence that she was drawn to it and it happens to be on Charming’s shield too. Wonder when we’ll learn about that finally! http://www.tv.com/news/once-upon-a-time-qa-jennifer-morrison-drops-a-few-hints-about-season-2-29691/
How 14 year olds are getting tattoos and 17 year olds are dating older men (I think most states have a 2 year rule and he’s a few years older at least – not that young thieves in love really care all that much, but she WAS concerned he might be a pervert when she first met him) but given this show’s math problems, and the fact that Ashley was drinking in Storybrooke at 19 etc, it’s a suspension of disbelief thing (seriously where does a 14 year old get a tattoo? I have none myself so not sure if it falls under getting a guardian to sign for it or what but given her track run with foster families….I think she ran away when she was 16 though I can’t remember where I’m getting that from either).
Either way, that’s the backstory that JMO has given us so far on it and she’s one that really gets into character and talks to people and asks questions of the writers about what Emma should already know (like she knew in S1 that Baelfire was Henry’s dad because it’s stuff that EMMA should know and react to, whether the audience learns it for awhile or not), so I’m assuming that this is the general backstory of how/why/when Emma got the tattoo but she doesn’t have to know yet how it ties in with Charming since she didn’t know any of that until we find out more than likely. Can’t wait to hear the story on this one though!
(It was a running joke about Lost that we have an episode many consider filler where we learn about Jack’s tattoo but it was the actor’s and it didn’t go along with typical surgeon look so a character commented on it in S1 and then got an answer about it later where they wrote it in. Since Emma’s was written in and JMO doesn’t have any tattoos herself, it must actually MEAN something and is therefore important! (Especially if it gives us Charming/Emma stuff! Imagine how touched Snowing will be if they ever actually notice/make the connection and it shows them all how linked they were with her even when she was away from them!)
I do shake my head at how much Snow knows but has seemingly forgotten, and you would THINK one of them would have noticed by now that she has a tattoo on her wrist that matches their shield (her tattoo has been MUCH more prevalent this season since she’s running around in a tank top – it was most visible to US during the kiss but it’s been there the whole time). Since Snow seems to have forgotten everything Emma ever said about Neal, even in the post-curse world with the phone call from Manhattan – which Snow immediately took as “maybe this will finally bring everyone together” instead of “my daughter doesn’t want her son around this guy, it must be for a reason let’s trust her judgment,” I’m really not sure what to make of Snow sometimes. So whether they’ve noticed or not remains to be seen. I feel like they would have tried talking about it to bond with her though…to prove that she may have grown up feeling like an orphan but they were with her all along in her subconscious or SOMETHING, but it hasn’t related YET. The fact that JMO said we should learn about it eventually though gives me hope! ESPECIALLY because it’s just an Emma thing. She needs something that’s just hers!

So it’s definitely an Emma thing
Thanks for clarifying MysteryKat, I think I got confused with Teen Wolf where the lead got a tattoo and it was written into the show. But either way, it’s sooooo exciting that it’s possibly a buttercup!!!!!!!!!

FOLLOWING SPOILERS RELATED TO TONIGHT’S EPISODE
I’ve seen a lot of anon hate on tumblr that Killian is “putting pressure” on Emma to make a choice and that HAHAHAHA CS IS SCREWED because it will only serve Emma picking Neal because she feels as if Killian is being pushy. *disconnected eyes twitch because they want to roll again*
It was made pretty clear that Killian says that Emma will eventually have to make the choice. Not that she has to do it now. It’s hardly pushy, because it’s a fact, and something Emma needs to hear, because she pushes things down until “kaboom”! Like, I remember saying sometime back here that Emma will push both men away on Neal’s return and shut down, and that Killian would not accept that and would call her out on it (“You’re afraid to talk, to reveal yourself”) WHICH IT SOUNDS LIKE THAT’S EXACTLY WHAT HE’S DOING HERE. Because as we all know, Killian and Emma have an innate understanding of one another (which again, the other side completely dismisses). And while Emma understands Neal, Neal does not understand Emma.
And I would also like to point out that they were treating us like we were hypocrites about Killian and Neal’s “fight” lines and now they are saying that Killian is pushy trying to “force” Emma to make a choice and yet completely ignore Neal’s pushiness and not giving Emma ANY choice?
*Le sigh* getting so fed up of these silly arguments from the other side.
