Charlie
Charlie (as well as the actor who portrays him) bears a tattoo on his left shoulder which reads "Living is easy with eyes closed". This is a quote from The Beatles' song "Strawberry Fields Forever," a song whose lyrics and/or meaning could be considered symbolic of the Losties' experiences, Charlie's in particular. For further dissection of "Strawberry Fields Forever," see its Songfacts page.
Charlie is seen in "Walkabout" to have a tattoo of the Quenya symbol for "nine," a fictional language from J.R.R. Tolkien's Middle-earth cosmology. Dominic Monaghan got this tattoo after playing Merry in all three of Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings films, as did the eight actors who portrayed the other members of the Fellowship of the Ring.

Jack
Main article: Jack's tattoos

Jack has various tattoos, one on his left shoulder, and the other on the left forearm, at least one of which was placed by Achara in Phuket, Thailand. ("D.O.C.")

Juliet
Main article: Juliet's mark

Juliet is branded by the Others. ("Stranger in a Strange Land")

Keamy
Keamy has a tattoo on his left shoulder seemingly consisting of a winged figure loosely resembling a bird.
On his right shoulder, Keamy has a tattoo of a red (bear?) claw overlaid with a curving symbol - all within a black, compass-like circle. This is similar to the logo used by Blackwater Worldwide, a private military company based in North Carolina.

Naomi
Naomi has a tattoo on her right shoulder. It was first visible when she was healing at the beach camp, in "The Brig". From what is seen, it appears to be chain-like in design; there is a line running through four individual squares.

Tom
Tom sports a tattoo on his chest. It has not been referenced, but was barely visible in "Live Together, Die Alone" on Tom's upper left pectoral. It appears to be circular with a green, possibly clover-shaped object in the center.
