The tattoo is more likely to stand for "Richard Nixon". The North character takes some traits from G. Gordon Liddy, and I recall him questioning the protagonist about Nixon and loyalty and such. Tattoos more often indicate devotion than the bearer's identity.
Glad you wrote that: it occured to me after I'd posted, so now at least two of us are thinking it. OTOH, it would be a clincher if the tattoo were "RMN," since North is clear on the middle name.
