What does the teardrop tattoo under the right eye mean?

Answer 1

The meaning and significance of tattoos may vary from culture to culture. Additionally the increased incidence of tattoos mean that many people are now getting tattoos not knowing the original or intended meaning. With this in mind please take the following as a guide only. A tear drop may mean:

• The wearer has killed someone
• The wearer has spent time in prison
• The wearer wishes to show sadness at the loss of a loved one
• The wearer was raped in prison
• The wearer has a loved one in prison
• The wearer is unaware of any of the following and just has it for asthetic reasons or wants to look like a 'badass'.

Please also be aware that in some cultures (notably Russian) wearing a tattoo that is significant to criminals and is 'unearned' can result in severe consequences including murder or having the tattoo cut out.

Answer 2

you killed one of your loved ones or family to get in a gang .
