It means the person is straight edge.
edit by lily, no it doesnt. if the x is across the hand, its straight edge which is against drugs and alcohal. but if the tattoo is between the finger and thumb, it means your a druggie. my mom and her friends got them when they were 16 about. trust me on this one. heres a better explanation i found on Yahoo answers. but yeah. alot of people get them covered up with flowers later on. my moms getting that done next month. other than her though, only one of her friends got it covered.
A few years ago I got a star between my thumb and finger. It's a variation of 'party dots'. And basically my star, or party dots, showed that I was a party and it's a thing druggies do.
So, usually if you see something like a star, dots, X, a peace sign, ect that's what it will mean.
But, some of them don't mean that, like the flower I now have covering up the star. It really depends on the person, but if they are young, or got it when they were young, it's probably the part dot thing.

Most "X" tattoos refer to the person being "straight edge." This means that the person does not use illegal drugs or alcohol.
