Why did Dragon tattoo his face?

[SSJ2]

We saw him at Roger's execution without the tattoo. With the recent revelation that Luffy is Joy Boy, could it be that Dragon discovered his family has connections to the Ancient Kingdom?

He didn't want to have a job.

The world-government caught him once when he was younger and literally made him a marked meng by tattooing his face, the same way they did the slaves.

Didn't they only apply the brand to slaves? I don't recall their faces being tattooed.

Well he’s a revolutionary and much more dangerous to them…and also I was just joking but I do remember seeing this face tattooed by discriminating higher-ups of society (after being caught) thing before in another series so who knows.

I think it's something to do with a sky island or maybe it's a mark of the ancient kingdom, as you said.Calgara had a face tattoo and he lived in Jaya (before part of it went to Skypeia), so maybe some of the other terrestrial countries hundreds of years ago had face tattoos too and Dragon has the tattoo because he's fighting the World Government and is inspired by the ancient kingdom. Maybe it's the mark of D (doubt it).

Wouldn't it look more like this? That's what people say anyway. I don't know myself.

Wtf lol

And just saw the joyboy stuff, holy fuck. Things looking serious....wonder who they send after the SHs - CP0? Kizaru or another admiral (the new one?). Wonder wtf joyboy even means. Sounds like a gay nightclub.
