PART 2

Welcome to Part 2 of anomaly #23 of Gravity Falls: Stan's tattoo.

I once said that, in the series, the inside of the circle at the top is FILLED, but, EF showed me an image I can no longer find, where Stan's tattoo is blank...but then...



And even the short itself with an extreme close-up:



So what could it mean? My guess is that it is a secret society symbol, and the MAIN symbol is blank-but each member of the society has the tattoo with a different circle. There are four circles close to each other representing weather casts:


 * Plain Circle: CLEAR
 * Half Full/Half Empty Circle: PARTY CLOUDY
 * Full Circle: OVERCAST
 * Circle with circle inside: CALM

The Stan twin theory states of four people in the society: Stanford, Stanley (the twin), and Bill-the other one wrote the books, but due to a spoiler consensus I may not speak his name.

But there are only four circles...meaning the main circle (the clear one) is probably given to the one with highest power in the society, whom I guess to be the author.

The image EF gave me (once again, do not have the link) shows Stan with the blank circle. However, since in all his other appearances it is full, we will assume that is an animation error.

But the middle part is yet to be solved. It looks the mostly like Latin cross, but they obviously wouldn't use THAT in the show. Then again, the book I got has limited symbols...yet it is still amazingly helpful.

Until the mystery is solved...

To be continued...
