Hey guys,
So I was re-watching "The Firefly" today, when I noticed something quite odd I hadn't noticed before.
In the scene when September is giving the girl at the jewelry shop her inhaler, you can see on his wrist what appears to be some sort of star-shaped tattoo.
Now, I would think that if it was a real-life tattoo that Michael Cerveris had, the makeup artists could have masked it or they could have taken it out digitally.
But since they didn't, it leads me to believe that perhaps it's some sort of Observer tattoo.
Thoughts? :observer:

(Here's a picture of it.)

I just noticed it today and found your post and, I found its meaning. It is related to the Greek/Roman Calender mythology and is the symbol for the month of September. This is an aster which refers to a star. Very clever Fringe.

Here is the full meaning of September and his Clander marking which seems to fall in line with the show.

September's flower is the Aster or Morning Glory.

Aster. The symbolic meaning of aster flowers is charming, patience, daintiness, afterthought, love of variety, elegance, memories and love.
- Aster comes from the Greek word meaning star.
- In ancient times, it was believed that burning aster leaves would drive away evil snakes.
- Aster is closely related to the Chrysanthemum. The aster is considered the other classic autumn flower besides the chrysanthemum.
