Tattoos can be artistic, but some signal gang affiliations, now present even in smaller towns.

Recognizing these tattoos is crucial for safety. Examples include:

โ€“ โ€œ14โ€ or โ€œ88โ€: Neo-Nazi Aryan Brotherhood affiliations, often seen in prison.

โ€“ Spiderweb: Indicates time served in prison, possibly joining a gang for protection.

โ€“ Teardrop: Signals a murder committed for the gang.

โ€“ โ€œThree Dotsโ€: Represents a gang lifestyle, not tied to a specific group.

โ€“ Five-Dot: Indicates a lengthy prison sentence.

โ€“ โ€œMSโ€: Linked to the infamous MS-13 gang, known for random violence.

Spotting these tattoos should raise red flags. With increasing gang activity and challenges for law enforcement, vigilance is key. Being observant can help prevent harm.
