Anyone know what that 2460 tattoo on Arie means?

I believe the full tattoo is 24601. The character Jean Val Jean in Les Misérables had once been in prison and that was his "prison number". I domn't know why that's significant to Arie though.

The cast was in London during Emily's season.  The guys went to see Les Miz one evening with their handlers.  Arie, I think, was moved by the whole thing and got the tat as a result of that.

Bachelorette during an interview with E! News. The Bachelor star shared, "This one is from Les Mis. The main character Jean Valjean, I just connected with that character and I saw the play in London and so I got a tattoo."

The tattoo is definitely not a random choice for Arie. He has made it very clear that he is a super fan of the musical throughout the years. Arie elaborated on the significance of his tattoo after a fan tweeted, "just saw Les Mis and it was incredible. Would u mind sharing the reason behind the your # tattoo? Is it his character as a man?" Arie revealed, "just what JVJ symbolizes. Selfless, giving and caring, the tattoo reminds me to be a good man #24601."

Aside from loving the character Jean Valjean and the play itself, when Arie saw the play just might play a major factor in Arie's fandom. In October 2012, the official Les Misérables Twitter account posted, "What was your first experience of #LesMis? Share your story using #MyLesMis and you could win a special prize!" Arie responded with, "I saw #LesMis in London in March and Jean Valjean's character was so moving I tattooed #24601 on my forearm! #MyLesMis."
