Jail tear
Many rappers like Lil Wayne or the Game wear it. Even the model Jeremy Meeks, who became famous through his mugshot, still proudly shows his little souvenir from old prison times. The tear tattoo is probably one of the most famous tattoos from the criminal scene and accordingly has many meanings to argue about. Many say a tear under the eye represents a murder that person has committed. Others claim it shows the amount of time spent in prison so far. Also, the tear can symbolize mourning for a loved one. An unfilled tear, it is said, signifies that the person has not yet completed their work or revenge.
