Everyone has a tattoo for a different reason… ...In prison they are commonly show ownership of gangs and record the wearer’s personal history - such as his or her skills, specialties, accomplishments and convictions. It is also the only method of expression allowed within a prison environment. Certain designs have developed recognized coded meanings with the code systems can be quite complex. Prison tattoos are done with home-made needles and tattoo guns. For instance the “needle” might be part of a paper clip, a staple, or a bit of metal guitar string whilst an empty ballpoint pen holds the needle. Ink may come from a pen, or it might be made from melted plastic, burned Styrofoam, or whatever else the prisoners can find. Considering we are talking about tattoos on bad arses here I have to say they all look really good. Via: uk.youtube |
