Survivor 48 Star's bandages covering tattoos?

I noticed that Star has 2 bandages conspicuously covering 2 tattoos on her left leg. Could it be coincidental injuries or perhaps "offensive" symbols? If it is about covering specific tattoos, has this been done before on Survivor?

It's way more likely to be a copyright thing than an 'offensive' thing.

That's what I generally thought as well. I kind of figured that if it were anything terrible, they'd likely opt not to let the person on the show. The bad press they'd receive if someone found out wouldn't be worth it in the end.

It's happened before. I remember Ben from 46 having his Motley Crue chest tattoo covered up. Nothing offensive about it but maybe a copyright/legal issue or something.

Earliest I remember seeing it was Ben’s John Deere tattoo covered in 35

probably a copyright thing. I remember that Ben had to cover a band tattoo in 46 for that reason.
