I googled, bing'd, and yahoo’d and came up with a bunch of false leads. Though I did find out what some of the other tats mean like the one above. Apparently the teardrop under the eye thing began in Australia and found its way into the U.S. prison system.
Though the meanings are totally different. Wearing a teardop in the land down under means you're a convicted child molester. While sporting the salty drop in the U.S. means that you lost somebody close to you in or out of prison.
Well that was a real downer of a post. Happy Hump Day!!!
Which would you prefer?
ReplyDeleteThe Australian, or American option? -- Either you're branded a child molester, OR you have to let a loved one die. YOU decide!
A very difficult moral question, I must say....
Personally, I don't know about tats from either location, but I do feel child molesters should be prominently tattooed. Visible to everyone. (or executed)
ReplyDeleteThat's rough. I thought the tear in the US meant you had committed a murder. I think the rapper The Game has one tatooed on his face.
ReplyDeleteThat's depressing. I'd do five dot tattoo,looks exactly like the face on a dice. The center dot represents the person wearing the tattoo, while the four surrounding dots represent friends or other gang members who have that person's back.
ReplyDeletegoodness... think I'll steer clear of people with teardrop tats just in case!
ReplyDeleteMy contacts in the big house tell me that it means you've murdered someone...
ReplyDeleteNever gettin me that tattoo! :D
ReplyDeleteI've heard that tear drop tattoos represent having committed murder(s). Whatever they actually represent, I steer clear of the people that sport them.
ReplyDeleteNow, as for your post tomorrow, I want assless chaps and penis jewelry OR something equally fascinating ; )

Wow. I love how meanings get all distorted. I seriously would love to see an American convict get out of prison and decide to go sunning on an Aussie beach. Keep him away from your kids!
ReplyDeleteAnd what does the tattoo on my ass mean? Er,....no, wait, you'd need to see a picture wouldn't you. nevermind.
ReplyDeletehahaha thats so funny, nice find on the info :b
ReplyDeleteDo they like child molesters in prison?
ReplyDeleteNo.
DeleteMany inmates have fucked up lives in the first place because they were abused/molested.
My understanding is that chesters have a very tough time in gen pop prison and if they can possibly swing it end up in some kind of protective custody.
wow, i'd just play it safe and not bother with this fugly tat if i were doin' hard time. great research on your end though. though i have seen this tat somewhere, i never knew there was meaning behind it.
ReplyDeleteDoes the Australian prison service do the tats, not something you could ever be proud enough to do yourself?
ReplyDeletethink the tear symbolizes sadness no matter the cause
ReplyDeleteWhelp, now I feel depressed.
ReplyDeleteIf you're an Ozzie just don't decide to move to the US
ReplyDeleteI've heard teardrops being used as a sign of how many people someones killed
ReplyDeletebwahahaha
ReplyDeletehahaha! I always thought that a teardrop tattoo meant you were a loser..it's a bad look...reminiscent of crying clowns painted on black velvet..
ReplyDeleteI always thought it was because you killed someone that you got a tear drop.. Sigh.
ReplyDeleteI always thought it meant that they killed someone. Hmmm, you learn something new everyday I guess! haha. And no, not like I Know anyone with one of these tattoos, I'm not that big of a badass :)
ReplyDeleteI like the Australian option better because at least it's a good way to track some evil bastards.
ReplyDeleteI think the Australian one is effective.
ReplyDeleteIf the teardrop is filled in...solid...it has the meaning, " have murdered someone."
ReplyDeleteI have added myself to follow your blog. You are more than welcome to visit my blog and become a follower as well
you they lies to me in the movie "CryBaby" damit i knew i was getting it wrong
ReplyDeleteEveryday Life
Have heard the same thing as the poster above - a filled in tear drop means they've murdered someone (though I heard "while in prison").
ReplyDeleteLosing someone in the US is like molesting a child. Cool.
ReplyDeleteGreat, I just got this tattoo and now I have to choose. Can it be both?
ReplyDeleteOh quit bein a debbie downer silly willy
ReplyDeleteI think it's a great idea on tattooing the face of convicted sex offenders. Although why they are out walking the streets is beyond me anyway.
ReplyDeleteI heard it means your gay
ReplyDeleteInteresting. I always thought in US it was for murderers.
ReplyDeleteThe truly sad part is how many get filled-in tattoo tears yet have never killed anyone.
ReplyDeleteY'know, every SINGLE FUCKING RAPPER in the business today.
Except for Mystikal. That nigga hard. I wouldn't be surprised if he HAS killed someone already. Ja Rule just LOOKS like he killed someone, he's as played out and fake as Fifty Cent.
