Youth are always on the lookout for interesting and crazy things to spice up their life. After all, this age is mostly about trying out new things, breaking the set norms and going beyond the stereotypes. The societal pressures and ironies do get to the young souls and they want to give vent to all the angst that is wriggling inside their minds and hearts. Tattoos offer a wonderful outlet to fulfill this desire, harmless and stylish; you reconcile with the facts in a positive way. The thug tattoos are related to this very genre and are based on the rapper Tupac Shakur‘s group “thug life“.
Thug tattoos mostly have a display in the form of the lettering thug life which is an acronym for “the hate u give little infants fuck everyone“. The word thug is associated with criminals and gangs but the tattoo is not restricted to it. It is more about the thug life and the styles of the group. Some dark and sordid images like skulls and dogs are also added to make them appear more scary and mysterious. Today, we bring for you a post that has 20 thug tattoos in cool styles. Take a look.
