PRISON BREAK - TATTOO
The tattoo of the protagonist of the American television series, Prison Break, is featured prominently throughout the series and contributes a large part to the plot of the show in its first two seasons. The protagonist of the show, Michael Scofield (played by Wentworth Miller) creates an elaborate plan to break himself and his wrongly-convicted death-row inmate brother, Lincoln Burrows (played by Dominic Purcell) out of Fox River State Penitentiary. In order to help himself remember the finer details of his plan, Michael created a tattoo, which also had hidden within it, the blueprint of the prison. During production, the complete tattoo takes around five hours to be applied onto the actor.
In total, the protagonist created 24 specific designs of the most important elements of his escape plan in order to form one whole tattoo that covered the entire upper half of his body. The drafts of the 24 designs were found on Michael's hard drive, which was recovered in the second season of the show by the character, F.B.I. Special Agent Alexander Mahone (played by William Fichtner). It is revealed in episode "Brother's Keeper" that the idea of hiding pieces of the escape plan inside the tattoo originated from a pizza deliverer's tattoos, which caught the protagonist's eye. The original sketches of the tattoos were ordered by the Greek alphabet, from Alpha to Omega.
