[i] All the rest are just the temporary ink outlines the tattoo artist applies before beginning work - they're not s'posed to look good! One way you can tell is that there's no skin redness on any of the others, and if you have (or have seen) a fresh tat, you know how red/swollen they can get!

I thought that they looked like healed outlines of the tattoo.
