A tattoo of a large ship is often found on prisoners, usually on the stomach or back. A ship symbolizes "Homebound", or "Godspeed".
However, another common tattoo among prisoners is "the lonely teardrop."
When someone has a tattoo (one or multiple) on their face, it usually means that they have murdered someone. The only other common meaning is "lost love", and that you are always crying inside. These are common with gangsters, or people who take pride in commiting a murder. Other prisoners choose not to get one, so that, upon getting out of prison, they don't have to remember their crimes.
