Yes, I want to get gang tattoos all over my face so I can be a better person.
I don’t get the idea of having the tattoo on your face just like in the Face Defined tattoo design. That’s very dirty looking tattoo.
I too don’t like tattoos on face. It’s look dirty.
Spiders Forever tattoo design is nice. Great share again :)
well, i dont think that all the tats, showed here are gang ones. basically the post is more then dull
That’s not a “Red gang tattoo” thats from a series called Full Metal Alchemist >…>
Thank you, that’s exactly what i was thinking lol
Here in Texas, gang tattoos are very clear about 90% of the time if not more. But the ones that come from Latin America as the MS-13 are most likely identifiable by the MS-13.
Certainly a lot of artwork that these gang members get can be beautiful to outright tacky-looking. But as a former convict here I want to advise anybody thinking about getting tattoos on their face to think twice because I’ve been there and done it and I seen it all in my 20 years of prison here in Texas. Think before you get a tattoo on your face because maybe you don’t care maybe you are bold and proud.
Once you get these patches on your face you will never be able to remove it unless you pay for it through laser surgery. And if you are out in the Free World you will be identifiable and people will remember you what you look like so you will be marked everywhere you go and maybe that’s what you want.
But if you ever plan to have a normal life and to get a job like a real man then save your face from all that because sooner or later it gets old and you will regret it deep within your soul that you ever fill your face with ink that you cannot take off unless you have the money for such surgery.
Those who received these tattoos because they are in gangs know only one thing, blood in and blood out, only death can get you out only death can get you in for that matter. But my issue is not with them but to try to plead with the next man who is thinking about just getting a tattoo on his face because he thinks it’s cool. It’s cool only for a moment but then you have the rest of your life and you may meet a beautiful young lady that you wish you could marry but your face is tattooed up and you think she wants to be with you? There’s just too many problems so take my advice and tattoo other parts of your body other than your face.
I have some on my face and on my neck and I wish I didn’t. It just makes me make other people that I am now trying to live in the outside world with, it makes them think that I am always a rebel or some type of gang member. As you get older again the rebel mentality grows old. And if you find God in your life than you really will wish you had never gotten those tattoos on your face. Good luck in keeping your face clear from skin deep ink of any sort. remember it may last just as long as your gang membership does which is 4life.
