Dang, you're right! The tattoo's are gone, just like the shell bridges we can see on some of the turtles in the concepts. Goes to show that one shouldn't assume concept art or early merch is 100% representative of the final product. Good news for me tho, I didn't like the tats (just added to the clutter) and I'm glad they're erased.
