billiken_roy Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 law said, "My wife just got one that she designed herself which has deep meaning to her representing her faith and heritage, but she plans on stopping with one" like i said above, that makes sense. but to use your body like a grocery store bulletin board, that is horrible. and even if you have one that has a deep or special meaning it gets lost with all the other stuff. question to you tatoo buffs out there, i know hughes has the tears tatooed below his eyes to remind himself of justin. someone told me that in the gang world, that means you killed someone. is that true? if so, wouldnt hughes' tatoo artist have known that and let larry know that?

brianstl Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 I believe it depends on the kind of tear drop. I think one kind means you killed someone, another kind means you had someone close to you murdered, and another kind means you just lost somebody close. I am not sure on all the specifics.

billiken_roy Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 i thought we were talking teardrops not snowflakes. i didnt realize there were multiple styles of tears. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidnark Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 It is obviously a matter of opinion and taste, but I don't understand the tat thing either (and I am a generation younger than Roy ). I was raised in the mindset that it is unprofessional unless you are a sailor, in prison, or in the bike business. Somewhere between when I graduated college and today the attitude has obviously changed. The basketball players I went to school with (Claggett, Highmark, Harris, Cambell, Robinson, Cobbin, etc.) certainly weren't tatted up.

I read in the most recent SI that TLR got a tattoo last season, at age 62! Like anything else, moderation is the key. I cringe when I see college kids (not just athletes either) getting sleve tats, and (the worst, IMO) the neck tattoo. Yeah, that's going to look great when you go on the job interview! Nothing below the mid-upper arm for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NashvilleBilliken Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 I heard that if you get one big tear drop and one little tear drop, it means you thought about killing somebody but changed your mind at the last second. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Box and Won Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 That tattoo looks ridiculous on most people, especially those with zero muscle tone like the guy in that picture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Box and Won Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 I don't quite get it either, but to each his own, I guess. Now if Larry gets this tat, we should really be concerned: http://www.defamer.com/hollywood/mike-tyson-face-tattoo.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
