At one point in the EDAs, the Doctor says to Fitz that if he’s lucky, he’ll know him his tattoo, and in Year of Intelligent Tigers, we learn that the Doctor went to sea during his hundred-year exile on Earth. That made me think, what if the Doctor actually has tattoos, made when he was a sailor in the 1930s, and he had no idea who he was? So here’s Eight with an armful of sailor tattoos. (Also, he doesn’t seem to have any idea that if you remove your shirt, you take out your cufflinks first.) 

Also, I thought posting shirtless Eight on a Monday would be appropriate, as I lurk around the McGann Monday crowd.
