Jag har lite dålig koll på det, men en svart tår under enat ögat betyder väl att man dödat någon? Har en bekant som pratat om att göra en. Nån berättade för henne om dess betydelse, men hon kör med argumentet att för henne betyder det nått helt annat. Ok att det gör det för henne, men omvärlden vet ju inte det. Nåja, undrade iaf bara om tårens betydelse stämmer?
Tror det varierar beroende på vem du frågar. Hittade annars:
Tear drop tattoos
The teardrop tattoo is typically a prison tattoo. Traditionally placed next to the eye, either left or right, this striking mark makes its wearer appear to be permanently crying.
While many prison tattoos are ethnicity specific, the teardrop is seen equally across the board.
Originally, in North America, the teardrop meant that the wearer had committed at least one murder. In some places, it meant that the wearer had committed a murder in jail. This tattoo then had the power to warn away other convicts, and establish an image for the wearer, of self-defense that is imperative in the prison system.
This symbol has evolved to represent family or friends of the prisoner who have died while the wearer is incarcerated. This is a very different implication, as it represents true grief, rather than an morbidly ironic gesture. When the tear drop represents the death of a loved one, the tattoo implies that the wearer is unable to cry real tears while in the prison system, and must use ink, instead.
Sometimes described as meaning ‘a mother’s son is gone’, the teardrop represents death in both North American examples.
In Australia, the teardrop has an entirely different meaning. It is forcibly marked on convicts who are accused child molesters. This mark is then used as a justification for the beatings and abuse of the wearer. The teardrop in this case, represents the tears that the convict will cry, eternally.
