In the 2009 anime, _Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood_ , near the end of the
series,

> Scar fights Wrath. During the battle, Scar surprises Wrath by using
> construction alchemy, revealing that he has a construction-based tattoo on
> his left arm.

Scar has not had this tattoo forever, though; in earlier scenes in the series,
we can clearly see that Scar has only one tattoo on his body.

_(Left: Scar, episode 22, no left tattoo. Right: Scar, episode 60, tattoo on
his left.)_

Is it ever stated when Scar receives this tattoo? Who gave it to him?

Where did Scar's other tattoo come from?


Although I can't remember it being stated, it is most likely, that he found
the tattoo in his brothers notes and put it on his arm with the help of Dr.
Marcoh.
