To each his own, but c'mon. There's a better way to honor someone than that.

Don't tear drops in the gang world is each one represents someone you've killed?

Hafta say I sorta agree with you. I read the article and for the most part it was a good read, and if you know the tear tattoo's are a tribute to his father then it can be OK. The problem is there are a few not so cool meanings for tear tattoo's, like jail time and how many people you killed, that can really spoil his good intentions. Sounds like he had a great relationship with his father though which is good

That is my understanding as well.

WOW, imagine Tyler's dismay when he finds that out!

Maybe Tylers father didnt have cancer at all? And his father just happened to die shortly after returning home? Coincidence?!?

I shouldnt joke about it, especially since hes not a Hawk anymore.

Gang Tattoos - Gangs OR Us

It looks like it has several meanings, one of which is the loss of a family member.

Long, LONNNNGGGGG before the gangs of today, bikers (the gangs of yesteryear) were doing tattoo tears for fallen brothers in their own clubs. I believe that is where this originated.
