Asia is one who placed the location of the initials in the area between thumb and forefinger. I've wondered (since John Elliott described the wreath of stars) if Booth had gotten a second, more professional tattoo over the years. Since proper gentlemen usually kept their forearms covered, few people would have seen it or taken the opportunity to comment on it until his death. Too bad we can't ask Ella.
