November 10, 2010 7:11pm Yeah, no problem! =o] It's actually eyeshadow, painted on to make me look like Kate Kane, the latest incarnation of Batwoman.
The man who won best artist of the year for drawing her is a local fellow. He did a signing at the grand opening of our friend's comic book shop, so we honored him with a visit from Kate, and later, Batwoman!
Kate's father is a general; both she and her mother have tattoos that look like the patch on his jacket. This was 8 months ago, and we thoroughly researched it at the time, but I can't recall if I was ever able to track down exactly what the image symbolizes in real life.
