>She got it during a port call in InchōnFun fact that just crossed my mind as I was looking at this post again:
In my original conception of this picture, I was envisioning the tattoo right-way-up on her arm, and was a little nonplussed when it came out the way it is. I thought about asking for it to be corrected, but then it occurred to me that the orientation it's in above has amusing implications for how she got it--namely, that in order for it to be that way up, she was probably lying down when it was applied.
This ties into Nishimura's remark to Mogami that he hadn't seen her as drunk as she was in Sea Trials since the time they were in Inchōn. Apparently stuff happens when IFN personnel are at large there. :)
