Riverdale Fans Are Speculating Over a Tiny Season 3 Teaser Clue, and Reactions Are Very Mixed
Every detail matters in the new Riverdale Season 3 teaser.
Eagle-eyed fans caught a tiny detail that could have a big impact in the video after it was released Aug. 29. Now, speculation is running rampant on Twitter. Everyone has opinion—and definitely not the same one.
The clue in question makes just the briefest appearance in the teaser. If you look carefully at the 11-second mark in the video below, you'll see it: shirtless Archie (KJ Apa) with some very interesting new ink on his right arm.

Let's take a closer look, shall we? Here is a screenshot of the tattoo.

A lot of fans are convinced the tattoo means that Archie is officially a member of the Southside Serpents. Some are happy about, some are angry, and others are just plain entertained.
im actually concerned about archie having a serpent tattoo in the new riverdale trailer. like kEEP HIM AWAY. unpopular opinion, but I hate archie and he's not even hot (which is the main reason people fangirl over him yikes). whoops, tea.

Other fans are not so convinced that Archie is actually a member of the gang, and they have some theories on why he'd have the tattoo in that case.
So, I've come to the conclusion that's Archie's serpent tattoo is only meant to keep him safe whilst he's in jail. It's hopefully only temporary so that he's protected from ghoulies or whoever ????????♀️

But wait, just an another theory, I feel like Archie becoming a serpent will be like him stealing Jughead's thunder. Again.
