translation question

[Krystyna Steiger]

The point is indeed to emphasize the coarseness of this ex-paratrooper, Afghanistan war vet, now the caretaker of a communal apartment building, always in jeans and tshirt w/ the tattoo showing. 
So I guess paratrooper's tattoo works!
Many thanks to all of you for your help/suggestions, and all the best for the holidays,
Krystyna
