Handsless
watches Handsless hours represent the concept of time in prison and apply especially to prisoners who have been sentenced to life imprisonment or very long imprisonment. Time is therefore freezing and inexorably expanding. Prisoners who wear this type of tattoo are of the opinion that time has no value and therefore means nothing to them.
This image is generally found on the bodies of prisoners who have to serve long or life sentences, and they have chosen not to count the days in prison, so the hours without hands represent a meaningless and lost temporal nature for prisoners sentenced to death.
In addition, this clock tattoo can be made in different shapes, like a watch, as a wall clock, or even as a clock tattoo without bracelets.
Eyes tattooed on the belly
This tattoo, which according to rumors from the prison world would be found more on the side of Russian prisons, would have sexual symbolism.
In fact, the eyes tattooed on the abdomen would talk about the sexuality of the inmate and more accurately point out that the inmate is homosexual, but it doesn't really prove anything.
Five-Dotted Cross
Tattoo of five cross-shaped dots, also called "Quincunx", is a tattoo that represents the time that the prisoner has spent in the cell.
A prisoner who wears this tattoo, mostly on hand, has probably served a prison sentence before, with the inner dot in the middle symbolizing the prisoner and the other 4 points outside the walls in the middle of which he is locked up, and the five dots are often tattooed on the hand between the thumb and forefinger.
This internationally known tattoo is mainly common among American and European prisoners, and the five points of other body parts can have a different meaning, such as those of the terrible Latin gang; People of the nation.
Clover
Clover, the Irish symbol par excellence, has been picked up by white supremacists to reaffirm their gang affiliation in the prison world, such as inmates who are part of the Arian Brotherhood gang, this Aryan brotherhood founded in prison for their illegal activities, which include drug trafficking, prisoner prostitution, and ordered murders.
So we are very far from the idyllic depiction of the famous lucky virgin, as we usually imagine...
