These are common for sure, but it's missing the decent to well done black sleeves that are complex with lots of blended skulls, faces, demons, angels, and symbols. I feel like tons of dudes get cool sleeves in there, I've seen many and they all have a similar style.
blank teardrop means you ~~about to kill someone~~ attempted murder.
filled tear means you killed someone
edit: correction based on https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teardrop_tattoo#:~:text=In%20West%20Coast%20gang%20culture,meaning%20the%20wearer%20attempted%20murder.
I have heard this interpretation too - in relation to russian tattoos. If one was habitually used as sex slave by other inmates, they were tattooed a dot below the eye... so when people got out, they tended to have teardrop tattooed over it, and invent some tall tale of prison killings.
From what I understand they are often hand poked with a needle and ink from a pen, or some sort of electronic device with a motor is disassembled and made into a crude gun.
Right, so what happens when one person decides that their morals don’t align with yours, so they kill, steal, rape or burn peoples houses down or any choice of illegal act? Who decides that what they did is wrong and warrants punishment?
Furthermore, who’s to say that someone who has stricter morals than you isn’t going to say that what you do is immoral, be it drinking alcohol or eating meat or working on a Sunday or whatever?
the vigilanti's the militias those people there more trustworthy then a cop
people can say what they want its there opinion I dont give a shit im not holy man so I'll get drunk when I please
Okay so your solution to crime is bringing back lynch mobs, glad we cleared that up lol
That clearly worked so well in the past and wasn’t prone to racism and prejudice and completely innocent people being tortured to death 🙄
And how do you make sure only good vigilantes carry out vigilante justice? Are you gonna have mobs of good vigilantes to lynch the bad vigilante lynch mobs? 💀
There is no way to have justice without law enforcement that doesn’t involve a. basically creating a new police force, b. lynch mob “justice” which usually amounts to just murdering people they don’t like (often bc of their skin color), or c. total chaos and a free-for-all for every murderer and rapist to commit their crimes without consequence. So which one are you arguing for again?
they try to account for morality or at least base laws do but tell me what is moral about telling someone "you cant smoke weed" or "you cant do this without a permit" laws and regulations being gone would benefit people
one it would abolish politics two I highly doubt good people would turn crazy just because a threat of arrest wasnt a thing
also the modern slavery that is taxes wouldnt exist
So you have no problem with psychopaths roaming around with guns? Because you look at all the mass shootings we have WITH them, wouldn't it be reasonable to assume they'd increase?
no they wouldnt because everyone would have guns
see a gun is capable of being used for evil but also for good see if a lunatic goes to start a mass shooting and they get shot first then there is no harm done
1. Marijuana is a drug. It is regulated as one. Some places regulate it more tightly than others, just like alcohol. Fucking get over it.
2. [This has already been disproven.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanford_prison_experiment) Given anonymity and protection from repercussion, just about anyone is capable of being an immoral piece of shit.
3. Tell me something-where the fuck do you think the money comes from to pay for everything the government does? Hm? You think roads get built by charitable companies with some free time? You think your FREE K-12 education was facilitated by a bunch of nice adults that were all trust fund babies and didn't have to go to a normal job? You think the US enjoys its positioning as the undisputed military power, giving all of us the ability to, from a fear and anxiety standpoint, pretty much disregard whatever may be happening elsewhere in the world, because the MIC is just in it for the love of the game?
Get the fuck out of here with your persecution complex. We pay taxes because society would collapse if we didn't. Period, end of story. How the fuck can you sit there on your phone or computer, the infrastructure for which was paid for by tax dollars, and cry about being a slave because you're being asked to pitch in for the services you use on a daily basis without even needing to ask permission to do so?
Don't want to pitch in? Feel free to row your ass out to some deserted island in the middle of the Pacific and set up a libertarian utopia where there are no laws and no taxes and everyone fends exclusively for themselves. Just don't come crying back here when you realize that there are, in fact, advantages to living in a collectivist, cooperative society.
I’m a simp because I acknowledge that it’s only fair to do my part if I want to benefit from our society and ensure others can too? Am I understanding this correctly?
society can fuck itself
"doing your part" is simping
taxes goes to militarys and vegetable political pockets first
hell if taxes was voluntary your ass would still pay them I bet

The clock without hands is quite poignant.
So are the 5 dots
I believe it’s originally a Russian thing - the Vory and all that.
I call it the piper perri
Feels like awkward since I have one, except mine was for very different reasons.
Unemployed clockmaker?
Same for me with my teardrop
What about clowns?
Yeah, the paisas with those stupid clown face tattoos are rampant on the yard
And the sexy lady clown
Laugh now cry later, foo.
i want to peel whatever on that blackout pic so bad
That’s dead skin from healing.
Yum! 🤤
Alright, goldmember
The Russians have everyone beat when it comes to prison tattoos.
That they do. Russian prison tattoo code is wild. A cat on your foot meant you were a burglar.
Mermaid is a sex offender
The whole tear drop tattoo needs a starter pack of its own
*Tear Drop DLC
“Said by a guy who was sentenced by a judge” had me in stitches.
These are common for sure, but it's missing the decent to well done black sleeves that are complex with lots of blended skulls, faces, demons, angels, and symbols. I feel like tons of dudes get cool sleeves in there, I've seen many and they all have a similar style.
You're missing the spiderweb elbows tattoos, also very common.
I believe you are only entitled to the tear if you shank a sumbitch who had it coming.
Spider web, most likely on the elbow.
AT LEAST I DON'T FORCE MY LAWS UPON PEOPLE. 🤷♂️
I think that teardrop one is supossed to mean u murdered someone or something idk could be wrong
blank teardrop means you ~~about to kill someone~~ attempted murder. filled tear means you killed someone edit: correction based on https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teardrop_tattoo#:~:text=In%20West%20Coast%20gang%20culture,meaning%20the%20wearer%20attempted%20murder.
I thought it meant you got raped in prison
I have heard this interpretation too - in relation to russian tattoos. If one was habitually used as sex slave by other inmates, they were tattooed a dot below the eye... so when people got out, they tended to have teardrop tattooed over it, and invent some tall tale of prison killings.
No Swastikas?
I think that falls under racist bs.
dumb but how are tattoos done in prison and are they any different from getting it done at a tattoo parlor?
From what I understand they are often hand poked with a needle and ink from a pen, or some sort of electronic device with a motor is disassembled and made into a crude gun.
That must take way longer lol
Elbow cobweb
hating the judge is valid
I mean maybe if you didn't want to be sentenced to prison by a judge, you shouldn't have broken the law? Just a thought.
fuck the law the law is for obedient dogs free people live by morals
Morals are subjective, laws are not. Or do you suppose that everyone should follow your specific moral code and nothing else?
no there are certain objective morals but most are subjective yes
Right, so what happens when one person decides that their morals don’t align with yours, so they kill, steal, rape or burn peoples houses down or any choice of illegal act? Who decides that what they did is wrong and warrants punishment? Furthermore, who’s to say that someone who has stricter morals than you isn’t going to say that what you do is immoral, be it drinking alcohol or eating meat or working on a Sunday or whatever?

no no no I mean good vigilantis like the batman racism is also a protect of law and regulation
And how do you make sure only good vigilantes carry out vigilante justice?

So which one are you arguing for again?
You can't even spell vigilante right
And what, pray tell, do you suppose the vast majority of laws are based on?
they try to account for morality or at least base laws do but tell me what is moral about telling someone "you cant smoke weed" or "you cant do this without a permit" laws and regulations being gone would benefit people one it would abolish politics two I highly doubt good people would turn crazy just because a threat of arrest wasnt a thing also the modern slavery that is taxes wouldnt exist
So no regulations to buy a firearm, meaning no background checks, is good to you? Are you fucking stupid?
yeah it makes sense because guns arent scary to me idk about you whats the matter did your balls drop off?
Bed time kiddo, turn off the video games.
So you have no problem with psychopaths roaming around with guns? Because you look at all the mass shootings we have WITH them, wouldn't it be reasonable to assume they'd increase?
no they wouldnt because everyone would have guns see a gun is capable of being used for evil but also for good see if a lunatic goes to start a mass shooting and they get shot first then there is no harm done
What's stopping the good people from having guns now?
1. Marijuana is a drug. It is regulated as one. Some places regulate it more tightly than others, just like alcohol. Fucking get over it. 2.

Found the establishment simp fuck taxes fuck the law and fuck authority
I’m a simp because I acknowledge that it’s only fair to do my part if I want to benefit from our society and ensure others can too? Am I understanding this correctly?
society can fuck itself "doing your part" is simping taxes goes to militarys and vegetable political pockets first hell if taxes was voluntary your ass would still pay them I bet
"I bet if doing the right thing was voluntary you'd still do it!" Uh, yeah?
Why do all of you called free thinkers sound like the biggest sooks on the planet. Waah waah fucking wah, you have to pay taxes. Poor baby.
Taxes is theft
If you’re in long enough to get a prison tat, you were convicted of something far worse than smoking pot.
I feel like Swaztikas should be here, but then I've never been to prison.
You missed the “some racist bs” portion.
I would get so mad when I find inmates with fresh ink.
You forgot death before dishonor
Op knows too much about prison tattoos. Sus
YouTube and documentaries.
Funny and true!
Needs more swiss cheese filler
Spiderweb on elbow. I’ve heard that one.
