Does anybody know for sure whether the tattoo on the back of Angel's right shoulder is real or, like the one on Faith's arm, just makeup? The reason I'm asking is, I could swear that I've seen that shoulder without it.

I've read from multiple sources that both are indeed fake... if you're really curious just google some images of them sleeveless (and DB, just trust us on lol) ;-)
Its fake i think. i wouldnt be suprised if its real though.
I cant remember a specific moment when you see his back again in buffy or angel
(maybe in beauty & the beast) i think they are careful when angels topless not to show his back
 
I read or heard somewhere that the makeup people used a stamp, and when Angel was going to be seen with his shirt off, they'd stamp the tattoo onto him so it looked exactly the same every time.
 
When you say real, do you mean real on Angel or real on DB?

Well I checked some screens and at least on the show they seem to be careful to keep it (although they also try to reveal it as little as possible)
The best I found was from
Buffy s3, ep3 (Faith, Hope and Trick):

and from
Angel s4 ep...11? (Awakening)

And also concerning the tatoo, was it ever said how and when Angel got it? Did he already have it as a human or did he get it after he became a vampire?

I meant, is the tattoo on the actor, or is it just something particular to the Angel character like the fake tattoo on Eliza Dushku's arm when she plays Faith.

Oh. Okay. Didn't know that. Sorry. I blame the language difference :p
I dont know if there are screenshots of it missing, SS, but i do remember seeing it myself and reading it on a list of bloopers. could have happened on Angel, not Buffy...so ill double check and get back to you with the episode(s).

It's also a very popular fan tattoo, so ive seen. if you search buffy tattoos, that and faiths are like muy popular (but thats why id never get either IF i were to get a buffy tat).

Hello Cutie
Do you know of a link where you can see the tattoos of the cast members?? I have a tattoo obsession, and I'm trying to decide what I want for my next one- it might help inspire me!
Fake... I've seen him in things since being in Buffy (I think maybe a film called Valentine???) but he doesn't have it. Plus there are one or two mess ups in Buffy and Angel without the tattoo. It's cool though.

Edit:

Angel has a large Celtic gryphon that's holding the letter "A" between it's legs. The "gryphon" is actually the god Phoenix, the story is that the bird Phoenix rose up from the ashes. Meaning: That when you die, you'll eventually come back some day if you are strong enough

Yep, it's a stamp, I've seen it. Dayne Johnston (The guy who did the make-up for 'Angel') auctioned it off at one of the Conventions I was at. I think it went for £200. Probably 'cause DB touched it! lol
