1. Empty tear or filled tear? |

Edited on Sun Sep-13-09 07:19 PM by 1Hippiechick
Copied from Wikipedia:
The teardrop tattoo or tear tattoo is a symbolic tattoo that is placed underneath the eye. The tattoo has several connotations. Teardrop tattoos usually signify the loss of a friend or loved one. An empty tear signifies that the loved one has been killed or that the bearer has unsuccessfully attempted murder.<1> A filled tattoo signifies that a loved one has taken his or her own life, or was killed by a cause other than murder (car crash, death penalty, etc.) A tear with an empty top and a full bottom means that the wearer has avenged the murder of a loved one. The majority of the 'tear tattoos' seen in popular culture today, however, signifies that the wearer has killed, with the number of tears representing the number of kills.<1>
Tear tattoos, when given in prison, primarily to indicate that the bearer has murdered someone, either in or out of jail.<1><2><3> The tattoo can also be given to commemorate a loved one who died while the wearer was incarcerated.<2>

4. Ya sure? I love to ask ppl about their tattoos, which always stuns my hubby |

who later enjoys the story behind them--especially when their arms are covered in colorful ones. I've heard some truly touching stories. There may be a touching story behind the teardrop on your new neighbor's tattoo, too....er, uh,....tattoo also?

5. Actually, I don't mind him being here. |
|
He's one of three adults watching six young children.
The sound of their fun is good.

6. Add to that: people change, and tattoos are not easily removed. |
|
He may surprise you and be an excellent neighbor.

10. My old downstairs neighbor had an Aryan Brotherhood Tattoo |
|
He got it when he was a dumb 15 year old. He never was in a gang but his buddies thought it was cool He covers it up now and when to great lengths to apologize (i am brown and considers me a friend) and I believe him. People sometimes get stupid tatoos when they are young
