Johnny and Tattoos

Good Question!,

Urm... I don't actually know the real answer but the way i see it is that by having the tattoo's the woman have been branded and are "unclean" (the whole adam and eve thing), and i think this reminds Johnny in some way of his mother who he sees as a "Whore", and so the woman don't deserve any respect from him. Me thinks anyways.

Hope this was some use :).

For me, the tattoo on the woman in the window is representing her as poison. It is the exact mark put on packets of rat poison. Obviously after seeing it he aint gonna touch. this is backed up in some way a few seconds later when he says "You dont wanna *beep* me, you'll catch something evil" (Or something like that, it's been a while since i watched it.)
There's quite a lot of mythical imagery in the film, most notably Brian the security guard who is the guardian of space ('What you gaurding?' 'Space') and the girl from the cafe who has something to do with time ('Touching time with a bargepole. I wouldn't' and other references.)

Any elaboration on these theories would be quite welcome though.
