Richie's tattoo

With all their money, you’d think the Riches would at least be able to afford a decent x-ray machine instead of one that looks like it’s of a Cold War Era Soviet design. This machine can’t even generate enough power to penetrate Richie’s clothes — I think all we’re seeing is the tattoo he got to impress Gloria.

Though all the radiation from that ancient machine may very well explain Richie’s macrocephaly and stunted growth.

    Considering you can still see the line of his pants, I don’t think it even went that far. The symbol is probably the Rich’s laundrymark, showing up under UV.

    But he isn’t wearing a shirt. You can tell because there’s no line for the neck or sleeves. So maybe Richie Rich just secretly has the ability to transform his skin into lead.
