Tattoos are used among criminals to show membership of gangs and record the wearer's personal history - such as his or her skills, specialties, accomplishments and convictions. They are also used as a means of personal expression. Certain designs have developed recognised coded meanings. The code systems can be quite complex and because of the nature of what they encode, the tattoos are not widely recognised.

ACAB can stand for All Coppers Are Bastards, or Always Carry A Bible, depending on who is asking and whether the bearer is trying to make a good impression. The borstal mark is an Indian ink dot, usually located between the thumb and forefinger of the right hand. Borstals were UK youth detention centres, and the mark was traditionally obtained during an offender's first period of imprisonment. An older, dövme tattoo now rarely seen, version was to have the dot on the left cheekbone. The borstal mark has been considered a status symbol among some criminals [edit] Filipino Gangs A tattoo of a Question Mark (?) located on any part of the body is a mark of the infamous Filipino gang BNG or Bahala Na Gang ("Come What May"), known for being especially violent and dangerous. A tattoo that appears like a U.F.O is commonly seen among members of "Sputnik Gang", dövme tattoo from the famous Russian spacecraft Sputnik. These gangs have been around since as early as the 1950s. [edit] North American A tattoo of three dots in a triangle, usually found on the skin between the thumb and forefinger, stands for "mi vida loca" ("my crazy life"). Along with the pachuco cross, it is a popular "generic" tattoo among Latino teenagers, and has no direct connection to gangs. The tattoo has also been adopted by Vietnamese teenagers, along with the similar interpretation of "toi khong can gi ca" ("I need nothing") (See Three Dots Tattoo). A teardrop tattoo is said to indicate that the wearer has killed someone or a friend of his/hers was killed in prison. It is worn by the eye. A tattoo of a shamrock is associated with the white supremacist prison gang founded in California known as the Aryan Brotherhood. But many people with Irish descent who are not at all affiliated with The Aryan Brotherhood often have shamrock tattoos. dövme tattoo The Aryan Brotherhood is also known to use 12 as an identifier, with the 1 symbolizing the letter A, and the 2 symbolizing the letter B. Another white supremacy gang, the Aryan Circle, uses "13" as their symbol, with the same derivation. A tattoo of the number 13 might indicate membership in the Mara Salvatrucha 13 (MS13) gang, who use it to show respect to the Mexican Mafia. Because many Central Americans began moving into southern California, the gang was created for protection purposes against the Mexican gangs that outnumbered them. dövme tattoo Sureños, created in the California Prison system to show separation between Southern Californians from Northern Californians. Blue is used by 13 and red by 14. The 13 or X3 stands for the 'M' in Mexican Mafia, M being the thirteenth letter of the alphabet. The Mexican Mafia, called La EME, and affiliated with the Sureños, uses a double M insignia or a hand (usually black). A tattoo of the number 14 is associated with the prison gang Nuestra Familia, which is associated with the Northern California street gang the Norteños. Sureños and Norteños are sworn enemies both in prison and on the streets. dövme tattoo A tattoo of 13 1/2 means 12 jurors, 1 judge, a half assed lawyer or half a chance. It is a common practice for California street gangs of all races and ethnic backgrounds to have the telephone area code of their neighborhood tattooed (e.g. 213, 818, 310). With the frequent changes in California area codes, this can quickly become outdated. A tattoo of a clock with no hands is often found on the upper arm of a convict, meaning "doing time". [edit] Russian Russian criminal tattoos have a complex system of symbols which can be 'read' to give quite detailed information about the wearer. Not only do the symbols carry meaning but the area of the body on which they are placed may be meaningful too. dövme tattoo The initiation tattoo of a new gang member is usually placed on the chest and may incorporate a rose. A rose on the chest is also used within the Russian Mafia. Wearing false or unearned tattoos is punishable by death in the criminal underworld. Tattoos done in a Russian prison have a distinct blueish color and usually appear somewhat blurred because of the lack of instruments to draw fine lines. The ink is often created from burning the heel of a shoe and mixing the soot with urine. In addition to voluntary tattooing, tattoos are used to stigmatise and punish individuals within the criminal society. 'Grins' may be placed on an individual who fails to pay debts in card games and often have very blatant sexual images, dövme tattoo embarrassing the wearer.
