15个监狱里常见的刺青图样和它们背后的意义。#14证明了无论如何千万都别去当告密者！

1. 3个点   这是许多坐过牢的人常见的刺青，代表的正是「mi vida loca我的疯狂生活」之意！这并不是只有某一个帮派才有这样的印记，而是一种表达帮派生活形态的象征。会看到这样的刺青，大多都是在手上或是眼睛周围。同时，有时候这也会带有宗教意味，像是代表基督教的

1. 3个点

Three dots The three dots tattoo is a common prison tattoo that represents “mi vida loca,” or “my crazy life.” It’s not associated with any particular gang, but with the gang lifestyle itself. This tattoo is typically found on the hands or around the eyes. It can also carry some religious significance, such as representing Christianity’s holy trinity. The three dot tattoo is often created using a stick-and-poke method, requiring very rudimentary tools.
 
这是许多坐过牢的人常见的刺青，代表的正是「mi vida loca我的疯狂生活」之意！这并不是只有某一个帮派才有这样的印记，而是一种表达帮派生活形态的象征。会看到这样的刺青，大多都是在手上或是眼睛周围。同时，有时候这也会带有宗教意味，像是代表基督教的三位一体概念！

 

2. 5个点

Five dots These dots differ greatly from the previous tattoo – five dots represents time done in prison. Also known as the quincunx, the four dots on the outside represent four walls, with the fifth on the inside representing the prisoner. This tattoo can be found internationally, among both American and European inmates. The dots are typically found on an inmate’s hand, between the thumb and forefinger.
 
有别于3个点的刺青，5个点强调的不是「帮派精神」而是坐牢的证明。这5个点之中，外围的4个点代表监狱的牢墙，中间的1点就是被困住的人！这个印记，美国人、欧洲人都是通用的，而刺青的位置多为像上图那样，位于大拇指与食指虎口之处！

3. 皇冠上方有5颗钻

A Crown with 5 Points The crown is a symbol of the Latin Kings, which is one of the largest gangs in the US.
 
这是美国最大帮派之一－拉丁国王的印记！

 

4. 数字1488

1488 This number can be found on white supremacist/Nazi inmates. The numbers 14 or 88 on their own can also be used, which sometimes creates confusion. Fourteen represents fourteen words, which are a quote by Nazi leader David Lane: “We must secure the existence of our people and a future for White Children.” The 88 is shorthand for the 8th letter of the alphabet twice, HH, which represents Heil Hitler. Typically, these tattoos can be found anywhere on the body.
 
这是信守「白人至上主义/纳粹」理念的囚犯会有的刺青。1488以双位数拆开当作14与88来看时，14的意义是纳粹领袖David Lane曾讲过的一句14字名言。88则是26字母当中第8个字母H重复两次之意，也就是88=HH=Heil Hitler=希特勒万岁。

5. 蜘蛛网

Cobweb Tattoos While these tattoos are mainstream (ish), they are still prison tattoos. They represent a lengthy prison sentence. The spider trapping prey is supposed to symbolize prisoners being trapped behind bars.
 
虽然一般人也会去刺蜘蛛网的图样，但是这同样还是个监狱记号，而且还是服了长时期刑期才会刺的！而这蜘蛛网上困住的猎物，同样代表的是被困住的囚犯！

6. 雅利安兄弟会 Aryan Brotherhood

Aryan Brotherhood This prison gang has a variety of tattoos to look out for, ranging from ‘AB’ to Nazi symbols like a swastika or SS bolts. The Brotherhood makes up 1 percent of the inmate population, but are responsible for 20 percent of murders inside of U.S. prisons, so identifying these tattoos are extremely beneficial.
 
这个监狱帮有许多代表刺青从单纯AB两字母到纳粹党十字记号一直到SS闪电符号都是。这个兄弟会成员占了所有囚犯比例中的1%，而在美国监狱中20%的杀人案都是他们的所作所为。

 

7. MS13

MS 13 The MS 13, also sometimes seen just as MS or 13, is a symbol of the Mara Salvatrucha gang from El Salvador. Typically these tattoos can be found anywhere on the body, but are most often found in highly visible places like the face, hands or neck.
 
有时MS跟13不同时出现也是一样意思，这是萨尔瓦多的Mara Salvatrucha帮派的代表刺青。这个刺青基本上全身上下都可以刺，但是多半都刺在明显之处，像是脸、手或脖子上刺的都很常见。

 

8. A.C.A.B.

A.C.A.B. This acronym is commonly found on the bodies of British prisoners and stands for “All Cops Are Bastards.” Some claim that A.C.A.B. also stands for “Always Carry A Bible,” but these are widely believed to be people who regret their tattoo decision. Often found on the knuckles, the tattoo symbolizes a willingness to go to prison for your crew or gang.
 
这多是英国囚犯代表「警察全都是混X (All Cops Are Bastards)」4英文字的缩写！有些人还说这也有可能是「永远带着一本圣经 (Always Carry A Bible)」4个字！多半刺在指节的这个刺青，象征的是愿意为了帮派去坐牢的义气！

 

9. Norteño

Norteño Norteño tattoos represent the Nuestra Familia gang, which is associated with Hispanic gangs in Northern California. Their tattoos include the word Norteño, Nuestra Familia, a sombrero symbol, the letter N or the number 14, symbolizing the 14th letter of the alphabet (yup – the letter N).
 
Norteño是加州西裔纽艾斯托家族监狱帮派集团的刺青。通常看到「Norteño」、「Nuestra Familia」或是一个墨西哥帽、「N」字母、数字「14」(代表26字母中的第14个字母) 都是他们帮派的成员！

 

10. 胸前大十字

Cross on the chest Particularly found in Russian prisons, chest tattoos symbolize a ‘Prince of Thieves.’ This is the highest rank a Russian convict can achieve, and are generally worn by higher-ups in the mob. Russian prisons have a unique and intricate history of prison tattoos, each with their own unique meaning. Another example are bells, symbolizing freedom, or a tiger on the chest is symbolic of aggression toward the police.
 
在俄罗斯监狱中很常见，这个十字是「贼之王」的意思。这可是俄罗斯罪犯最高的荣耀阶级，通常都是黑道中地位较高的才会有。

 

11. La Eme

La Eme ‘La Eme,’ or The M, is the symbol of the Mexican Mafia. They are one of the largest and most ruthless prison gangs in the U.S. They’re allied with the Aryan Brotherhood, and have a common enemy in the Nuestra Familia.
 
「La Eme」或是「M」字母是墨西哥黑手党的象征符号。墨西哥黑手党可是美国目前最大最残暴的监狱帮派。他们的同盟帮派是#6雅利安兄弟会，共同对抗的则是#9纽艾斯托家族监狱帮派。

 

12. 泪滴

Tears In certain places the teardrop represents a long prison sentence, in others it represents that the inmate is a murderer.
 
在某些特定地方眼泪代表的是长久的刑期，在其他地方则多为犯下「杀人罪」的罪犯！

 

13. EWMN

EWMN These letters stand for ‘Evil, Wicked, Mean, Nasty.’ Having no particular affiliation with any gang, they simply represent the general disposition of some prison inmates. Typically found on the knuckles, these types of tattoos were popularized in 1955 by Robert Mitchum in ‘The Night of the Hunter.’ His sociopathic preacher character had the words ‘love’ and ‘hate’ tattooed on the knuckles of each hand, which has brought about other variants such as ‘Rock/Roll’ and ‘Stay/Down.’
 
这是「邪恶、刻毒、狠心、恶劣 (Evil,Wicked,Mean,Nasty)」4字的缩写。这跟帮派是没有关系的，而是一般囚犯的大略个性、形式倾向皆是如此！而刺青多会在指节上出现！

 

14. 扑克牌

Playing cards Playing cards, or suits of the deck in general, usually indicate an inmate who likes to gamble. This applies to gambling games both within prison and without; it can also represent a person who generally views life as a gamble. This tattoo is very popular in Russian prisons, where each deck has its own meaning. A spade represents a thief; clubs symbolize criminals in general. Diamonds are reserved for stoolpigeons and informants – if the cards have this deck, then it was likely applied with force. Hearts imply that someone is looking for a romantic partner in the prison, which may also be forcibly applied.
 
扑克牌 (尤其多以牌组形式出现) ，通常是爱赌博的囚犯才有的。其实，不管在监狱里或监狱外只要爱赌或视人生为一场赌局的人都会刺。在俄罗斯，不同花色各有其意义。黑桃是小偷，梅花是罪犯统称、方块则是告密者专用花色 (通常为强行刺上去的) 、红心则是在狱中找寻伴侣的人 (也有可能是被强行刺上去的) ！

 

15. 没有指针的时钟

The clock with no hands This tattoo is, fairly obviously, representative of ‘doing time’ and doing a lot of it. Those serving a longer sentence might get this tattoo done on their wrist, with watch straps and all, much like a real watch. The clock face itself can come in a few forms, such as the face of a wall clock or a grandfather clock. Not all clock tattoos are tied to prison; generally just the ones lacking hands.
 
这「停滞的时间」代表的是长期服刑的人，如果是在手腕上的就会刺得像手表那样，至于钟面长什么样因人而异。不是刺时钟的都是罪犯，只有没有指针的才需特别留意其特殊意义！
