Tattoos that represent evil are often chosen at random. As we know, many images carry several meanings, one of which may just turn out to be macabre. Thus, a tattoo that symbolizes evil is usually considered a raven or a bat. However, there is another type of such tattoo, the acronym GREAT, which is used in the prison world. Also, many tattoos associated with insidious and dangerous characters are traditionally considered "evil" images.
Varieties of Evil Tattoos
All tattoos carry their own meaning. It is rare to find any image that does not carry some meaning. However, we must not forget that some drawings have many interpretations. It is rare enough to find a variant in which for a tattoo evil is the only meaning. Therefore, it is possible to divide the remaining images into several groups:
- A tattoo that has many meanings;
- An image associated with aggression;
- A drawing based on fear and intimidation;
- The abbreviation of Evil, used in the criminal world.

The ring tattoo means a lot in the prison hierarchy. Prisoners can stuff such designs at will. But some are tattooed by force. For example, they may be those of inferior rank in prison - a rapist, a snitch (an image of a dog with the caption "Mentor from the presshut") or a homosexual (a cockerel). The most interesting thing is that even if the prisoner goes to another prison, his status remains the same.
A ring is put on the finger, and the signs inside it indicate the offender's status.
- The symbol "denial" characterizes a prisoner who does not negotiate with the police, moreover, he is hostile to them. Such a prisoner does not understand those who wish to atone for their sins; he will never change. People with such a ring belong to the thieving elite. It looks like a rhombus divided into four parts, and the two triangles on the diagonal are painted black.

- Quite a common tattoo that almost all former convicts have. "Was incarcerated" - a black square with a white line down the diagonal.
- "On trial for murder" - depicts the handle of a knife with a snake wrapped around it.
Tattoo expressing aggression
Tattoos associated with evil are often associated with anger or aggression. These usually include:
- Animals, in a moment of attack or danger. For example, a tiger with a grin or a panther in a jump. Such tattoos are like a warning to others, telling them not to approach or anger the owner of the tattoo;
- Weapons, both cold and firearms. Of course, the same revolver, can mean both honor and courage, but for most it is still a symbol of evil and violence. Therefore, the weapon chosen as the basis for this kind of tattoo, the evil in the sketch, which is indicated by a dagger or gun, looks grim or aggressive.

Many films have been made about such creatures. In a tattoo, this symbol denotes a gloomy attitude . Sometimes it indicates that the tattoo owner is hiding his true face under a mask.

This method can be used even by inexperienced users of modern computer programs related to graphic design and editing. People who have skills with PC, in developing a sketch can help Photoshop, Paint or any text editor.
In choosing a style, it is important to consider not only the appearance of the letters themselves, but also:
- Size (you need to choose with the location of the tattoo in mind);
- color (colored tattoos, although they look bright, need longer care after their creation, and imply frequent corrections);
- The presence of symmetry (important if a person decides to write symmetric inscriptions imitating the reflection of each other. In this case everything should be identical: the size, font, style and location of the drawings on the body).
Tattoos, having a macabre meaning
To such can be safely attributed two representatives of the animal world: a raven and a bat. Both of these characters are often found in tattoos. However, not everyone is aware of the meanings they carry. A raven is traditionally considered a rather gloomy bird. Many people remember the expression "the raven crooked". Thus, this bird symbolizes the upcoming trouble and unpleasantness for many people. In addition, it is a raven that many peoples considered a harbinger of death. Such a tattoo can also carry positive interpretations. The raven becomes a symbol of wisdom, patience. The drawing, which is based on this extraordinary bird is often done in black and white, and rarely any bright elements are added to it. Suitable for both men and girls.
Did you know? Tattoo with the image of a bat is actively used by scouts. This is due to the ability of this creature to move in the dark, hide from the eyes of strangers, sensitive to what is happening.
Black and white tattoo of evil on the hand
The bat is a mysterious character. On the one hand this creature is harmless. But it is associated with him a lot of legends. Do not forget that it is in the bat could turn into a famous Count Dracula, who is a vampire. Therefore, it is not surprising that these timid creatures began to be equated with evil.
I got a tattoo with a raven sitting on my forearm after the death of someone dear to me. It is a gesture of remembrance and love. The image itself is of high quality, realistic. If you wish, you can see the feathers, slightly ruffled. I wouldn't dare get a tattoo like that if it weren't for grief. It's too gloomy. But for me, it's a memory.

The prison world is diverse and rich with creative people: there are artists, romantics, and creators who create camp tattoos. Conspiracy tattoos are not just decorations for the body of a criminal: the SCs put a certain meaning into them. Before getting a tattoo, a convict learns what it symbolizes and then decides to put it on his body. Let's look at the most common criminal tattoos seen by inmates.
Ways to Apply Tattoos
Due to the strict regime in places of incarceration, the ways of applying tattoos are striking in their sophistication. All tattoos are made exclusively by hand and by means that the average person does not attach importance to.
The most common tools used are needles on sticks or matches. They are dipped in ink and punctured point by point into the skin. If there are no needles, cunning prisoners can use wires or any other thin object from which a point can be fashioned. Well, if there is no ink or ink, they mix a paste of soot and sugar diluted in urine or water.
Sometimes teenagers can also "naively" apply tattoos to themselves, not suspecting their true meaning, as outside of the criminal environment their subject matter is seen as completely harmless. Sometimes would-be inmates may tattoo themselves in advance, hoping for honor or at least a quiet existence in the prison world. But this rarely ever really works.
A Prison Tattoo Catalog and Meaning
Tattoo Evil
Any inmate can put any meaning they want into the acronym "Evil" (extremely popular among camp tattoos in the '60s). But usually it means "I'll avenge everything on a cop. That is, to the authority figure who made the case against him, or to all police officers, in principle. Sometimes the "Evil" tattoo is given in women's prisons to prisoners in prison for killing men who betrayed them. As a rule, the tattoo is done on the wrist, on the palm of the hand, on the fingers.
The executioner tattoo
Continuing the topic of male criminal tattoos, it is worth noting the difficult to perform tattoo executioner, which has several meanings. First, it suggests that its bearer is sitting for murder. Secondly, about his intrepidity, sociopathy, that he is ready to kill. The executioner tattoo is loved by prisoners whose plans include revenge against law enforcement. But if in addition to the person bending his head, there is a female face on the picture, it means that the person has committed a violent crime. For example, is serving a sentence for the murder of his girlfriend or cohabitant. Generally, the prison tattoo is printed on the chest or shoulder, and often the executioner is depicted with an object in his hand, which can kill.
Shackles Tattoo
The shackles tattoo was invented in the zone. It is stamped on the hands or feet of people who have been imprisoned for a long period of time (5 years or more). Criminals can easily determine how many years their comrade has been in prison by counting the number of links in the shackle pattern. In some cases, they can be stuffed in any order. Sometimes the shackle pattern symbolizes release from the burden, that is, from prison, and is stuffed as the prisoner prepares to be released. "Shackles" used to be stuffed on some political prisoners.
Handcuffs with shackles.
Handcuffs carry the same meaning as shackles, which is to say that the wearer has been incarcerated for more than 5 years, serving a serious sentence. But this criminal tattoo can also symbolize the desire of the person as soon as possible to throw off the yoke and go to freedom. This is a kind of amulet from further imprisonment.
Nakolka devil.
When a criminal stuffs a devil, he wants to express his fearlessness, the desire to live and survive in any situation. For example, if the body has a tattoo of a little demon sitting on the moon, it means that the prisoner will not be lost even in space: he will find a way out of any situation and will not let himself be offended. If the devil is tattooed on the background of a woman's face or body, it means that the convict committed the crime under the influence of love, that is, because he was in love. For example, he took revenge on someone for offending his girlfriend. Therefore, the individual details that are stuffed together with the devil can change the meaning of the tattoo of the devil.
Tattoo of the devil on the back
Tattoo with the image of the devil is not particularly popular on the zone, unlike the devil, the decoration of the zonov authority. Stuffing such an image, the convict wants to show that he is cunning, cunning, plans and is not subject to charms. The devil can be beaten, for example, an alphonse, a swindler, a sociopath. Criminals, deciphering the meaning of a certain picture, also pay attention to the details, which can speak of many details of the crime.
Tattoos in Russian prisons
Prison tattoos always carry one meaning or another. These can be images, portraits of loved ones or idols, as well as apply can and inscriptions that complete the body image.
Abbreviations are especially popular:
- WILD - revenge for everything to a cop;
- JUG - a young robber;
- PEACE - I will be corrected by firing squad;
- TMJ - prison is a hindrance to life;
- NKVD - no stronger than thieves' friendship;
- CLOT - vow to love one (one) you (a little romantic).
A few inscriptions:
- "The main thing in the zone is a thief in the law."
- "Murder is not murder."
- "Born to torment, I don't need happiness."
- "I will not forget my mother," and so on.
Inscriptions that should not be done
You should not use as a sketch for a body drawing:
- rude or vulgar phrases (despite the fact that in certain circles they may seem amusing, over time such tattoos will begin to cause negativity on the part of the tattoo owner himself or will turn into an object of ridicule by others);
- Names of specific people (we are talking about the objects of love);
- Long texts (to qualitatively write a long text in the tattoo, a large area of the working surface is required, which is impossible with the application of a body drawing on the hands).
Tattoos on the hands, representing foreign inscriptions, require detailed study of the sketch. The potential owner of the naked picture should think through the style, font, design, color and the basic idea of the printed text under the skin. To ensure that the tattoo delivered to the person in the future exclusively positive emotions, it is recommended to work on her sketch together with the tattoo master, who will later be engaged in the transfer of the picture on the skin of the client.
