Tattoos

The film "Alix Lambert's The Mark of Cain" gives us the insight on the significance of tattoos in the jailing system. Tattoos are taken very seriously across seas in this jail/prison system. If you have a tattoo then you must know the meaning of them, and you cannot have a tattoo and not knowing what it is. Every tattoo has a representation of what kind of crimes each individual committed. Someone could get punished if they has a tattoo that misrepresented their crime(false claiming). The way this works is totally different from our society. Anybody can just get any type of tattoo that doesn't necessarily have to mean anything. Its a sense of fashion here in the United States.
