I never said he was, I said he COULD be labelled as one if he had more stuff.
And I mentioned the tattoo, because the diverse design just tells people he's got ink on his forearm and maybe a watch or two. There's really no reason to get into that comment, since there was nothing there to inspect.
Which is why I made sure to show that I understood what you meant, but was only clarifying a detail. A casual observer could have implied the tatoo and blade are linked. One sentence about that. And then I had a paragraph about something else.
