It was perhaps the most intriguing aspect of "Memorial," one of the best Vampire Diaries episodes in recent memory:

Jeremy - and only Jeremy - noticed a series of tattoos on the arm of Connor Jordan, the new hunter in town. What did this say about the supernatural-hating foe? Is he somehow dead? A ghost? What sort of connection does he have with Elena's brother?

According to yesterday's E! News Spoiler Chat, the tattoos in questions are NOT related to Jeremy's ability to communicate with the dead.

Instead, they are a "map of sorts" and they relate to the fact that Jeremy is also spotted with similar markings in the above-pictured promotional image.

What does any of that mean? Your guess is as good as ours... so let's hear it! Sound off now and prepare for this week's installment via the official CW promo for "The Rager."
