Oh there's always a chance of that

(Apologies for just barging into this thread here - hope you'll forgive me)

It's an interesting point about the mouth-covering thing, and I agree that I wouldn't put it past RA to have made a conscious effort into doing that. But one thing I do wonder about Lucas and his tattoos is why, upon his return to England, did he not have the removed? I would have thought that he would have wanted to. He seemed so keen to try and forget the past (although it proved difficult, as things kept bringing up memories), and, in my opinion at least, it would have made sense for him to get rid of one of the most major memories of his time in Russia: his tattoos.
