Just out of curiosity, does anyone know what the Dark Souls 2 tattoos symbolise? Are they kingdom crests, symbols of different gods, or just random markings?

I've looked at most shields and armour (if not all) in the game and can't seem to find any of these symbols...with the exception of the dot obviously. Has anyone found anything about what they mean?
