    awfully defensive, eh?

    it’s not a secret code, bruh:
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teardrop_tattoo
    (in can mean other things, but a very crime/gang/prison thing)

    just because you’re not in the culture, doesn’t mean all face tatts are equal, or that you have any idea what you’re talking about.

    and i’m not against face tattoos, i am very against judging people based on their tattoos, and i know the difference between gang tattoos and other subcultures.

    if i were a betting man, which i am, i would put my money on: she’s being railroaded because she has crimey tattoos (most tattoos aren’t related to criminal subcultures, hers are)
    Anything i could glean from those is that she’s NOT the kind of person to support neo-nazi ideology and murder, but probably had a gun or two and ammo…

      LOL. And are you “in the culture” after reading the Wiki page that specifically talks about how they can mean a lot of things and maybe none of them at all? Girls (and guys) get tears for all kinds of reasons, and jumping to “she killed people” or “she’s in a gang”, rather than “she’s experienced loss” or “she’s been abused” is the same level of tattoo pop-symbology that’s labeling every brown man with ink as “MS-13”.
