New ‘Lost’ Mystery: Why Did Josh Holloway Get This Terrible Tattoo?

When Lost first began, it had several things going for it, including a strong premise, a diverse cast, and a series of wonderful chests. Sadly, Josh Holloway (tee-vee’s “Sawyer”) has decided to follow in costar Matthew Fox’s lead and mess with his Abbie™-winning torso, and the results became evident this week as he shot an advertisement for Cool Water in Hawaii. Was Holloway trying to one-up Brad Pitt’s inscrutable ink, or was he paying tribute to his adopted archipelago in ways that will surely undergo some tectonic shifting over the next decade? A second picture awaits after the jump for those inclined to study the evidence — we’re too busy engineering a frantic, preventative letter-writing campaign aimed at Naveen Andrews (no, Sayid, those nipple rings will not look good on camera).
