Is this supposed to be a question? What about the teardrop tattoo?? Was there supposed to be a point to this post?

I KNOW THAT CRIPS AND BLOODS USUALLY GET TATTED TEARS WHEN THEY'VE KILLED AN OPPOSING GANG MEMBER. WELL NOT ALL CRIPS, I'VE ONLY SEEN GRAPES WITH TEARDROPS. BUT THEN AGAIN I'M SPEAKING IN PERSPECTIVE WITH WHAT I'VE SEEN IN NEWARK.

Each one represents one person that guy killed. That's what I always thought.

i heard a while back that it also can mean that you spent time in prison, if its not filled in it didn't mean any thing and if its filled in it meant somthing.
but spiderwebs mean you spent time collecting dust somewhere.

that is a good question. i want to know that too. cuz the folks i hang with, have them on both eyes. i mean they will either have it under the left or right eye. so i wonder if it matters.

As far as I know, it's related to actually KILLING somebody. My uncle told me story of a guy in San Quentin who got killed because he had a tear drop, but he hadn't killed anyone, he only lost someone. I serve right now with a soldier who has a variation on it: he has an angel on his forearm that cries one tear for every confirmed kill he has. He got it on his arm because he has 33 confirmed kills, so it would look a little ridiculous to get it on his face.
