It can mean many things, but in most cases it the Russian gangsters put them on the knees. The star on the knee mean that a person doesn't fear anybody. It is called the Vor v zakone, it means thief in law, it is a Russian crime organization and a codex. The gang members put tattoo on themselves to be recognized by other gang members. They also put stars on their shoulders, that means a person is ranked higher than those who doesn't have the tattoo's on their shoulders. But if someone put a tattoo and he didn't deserved it it can be punished for doing so.
