Perhaps what’s so interesting about this is the idea that most tattoos mean something. In other words, they can provide a glimpse inside the owner’s mind, sometimes clear, other times vague.
Now, it’s important to remember that this doesn’t always mean positive things. There are those people who proudly sport symbols abhorred by the majority of society. There are others who wear tattoos that might serve as an obvious warning sign.
Case in point: the three-dot tattoo that’s considered by many to be directly connected to the Russian prison system.

I was, in any case… and I thought it best to share the message so that if you ever see someone with this type of tattoo, you’re aware of what it could mean.
