Recognize this tattoo? Police seek help identifying body found along Delaware River in Upper Bucks

Tattoo on left forearm has been described as having an "arrow" pointing towards the man's elbow. I am not sure what the rest of it is supposed to depict, and I also wonder if that's actually an "arrow"--to me, it looks like it could be a rune of some type, or even a primitive-looking airplane. Any ideas?

Whoops, I totally missed the existing thread. Apologies to my venerable fellow Websleuth, Richrd, and thank you to the mods for kindly merging the two!
I swear I'm not trying to be pedantic about this, BUT I am still hung up on the description of the tattoo as an arrow. It just doesn't seem to me that if it WAS supposed to be an arrow, it would not have a straight line at the end like this tattoo appears to! It appears like the rune called Tiwaz, which it appears is sometimes used to represent a Norse god named Tyr. That symbol (and the god Tyr, too) seems to be associated with war, justice, honor, fidelity, and bravery. I'm wondering if it might indicate that the UID has ties to the U.S. military, since these values are pretty central to all of the armed forces' oaths. Alternatively, it may represent the letter T, in which case perhaps it's the UID's initial or the initial of someone else important to the UID. The rest of the tattoo I just can't get a handle on at all. Any ideas?

I see a vaguely Native American-style symbol or perhaps a cow skull beneath the arrow/rune motif. Or, very faintly, perhaps a constellation?

This missing guy had a tattoo of praying hands on his left forearm - Not saying it's him but I can kind of see the tattoo being praying hands?
