Why is Larry's tattoo on vinyl labels and both covers of SOI?

Why is Larry's tattoo essentially on both covers of SOI, and also on the vinyl labels?

The B&W with this son (great cover), it just happens to be on him, but it seems odd that it is also on the iTunes release cover and huge on the vinyl labels. Surely there is artistic intent behind this.

I'm sure this has this been discussed before in some big long thread I could not find...?

According to Bono, it's a Native American symbol for the Pawnee tribe that represents protecting innocence.
