as gang signals as they are a visual way to show affiliation.
From the size of the tattoo to its placing everything is significant.
It’s known as the bigger the size of the tattoo the more is your level
of loyalty towards the gang. When a gang member gets an ink on a very
visible place this shows his/her willingness to show people about the
affiliation.
Every gangster tattoo has a different meaning like from a tear drop
to a black stone from a Latin angle to Latin eagle every gang varies its
image with regard to its name and place of origin. These tattoos also
refer to the nature of activities any gang is involved in like from a
murder to theft and etc. every gang is involved in a different activity
and so is their representation in that particular society. The level of
gangs also varies from a country to country like its Australia, North
America or France their gangs will vary so will be their tattoos.

but for those who carry one it’s not only an honor but for them it’s
like an engraved award on their bodies.
