Hello Julia,
if you don’t know it already, there is another book from the italian publisher of Papa Tatuado, it’s Jack London’s “The Shadow and the Flash”, titled “L’ombra e il bagliore” illustrated by Fabian Negrin, the interior is amazingly beautiful. If I am not wrong you might like this…
Ciao, C

Hi!

Just for your information, the book has been translated as well in Italian, under the title “Papà Tatuato”
http://www.orecchioacerbo.com/editore/

About the meaning you’re mostly right: the father travels a lot, and stays away for months at times, but when he is at home he is very funny and tells lots of mad stories.
The kid loves his father’s tatoos and tells they’re better that any story ever written. So they play together, and the kid touches father’s tatoos and he feels them as if they were alive, so father starts telling incredible stories.
It somehow has that taste for adventure we find in Kipling or in Emilio Salgari.. very funny and very adventurous!
Hope I have been of help!
Bye, C
