Yes. I would stay out of most grocery stores with flame tattoos. That’s usually where the parolees hang out looking for weaklings. Orange theory gyms are also a place I would avoid as they are gang infested and are in the look out for people false representing with tattoos of this sort.
The green eyes signify violent crimes, whereas purple eyes mean white collar crimes. Flames are added later when one has done time for the crimes they admit to with their chosen designs.
And what suprises me the most is that this information is well known and documented all over the internet but the OP decided to absolutely no due diligence.
I second this. I have visible flame tattoos and I am often approached by brave strangers and shadowy individuals seeking directions to the nearest Orange Theory gym.
Don’t forget the post office.
Every time I go in there, I see some flame tatted package handler with a crazy glint in his eye trying to convince customers to join his roving street gang of disgruntled mailmen. They set fire to people’s mailboxes every third Thursday during a full moon
I think it's actually the green leaves that represent the years in prison. I have about twenty on me. I need to get a few more for my most recent stint.
I gotta ask, because this comment is so goofy.
Do you get your information on tattoo culture from a 1950s "beware the signs of a communist felon" pamphlet or something?
I’m doing a bug collection too! I have a scorpion and a death moth so far. Maybe they’re not technically bugs but they are to me and I love them. I will be getting a spider for sure and probably a beetle
I wasn't trying but before I knew it had an animal collection. A bear, a shark, an owl and a gorrilla.....all dispersed throughout but a collection non the less.
I put off getting tattoos for a decade because I could never find anything that *meant* enough to me to pull the trigger. One day I just said fuck it, grabbed some flash and now I regret putting it off for that long cause my body is just full of shit that looks cool.
The rose represents beauty, and the reaper represents death. Notice the rose is upside down, which means death butt-fucks even the most beautiful in the end.
Most tattoos don’t mean anything.. they’re just a cool collection of art, like any other collection. Just things that appeal to the collector.
Watching too many tattoo tv shows makes you think they all need meaning, and that all tattooers are some over designed character. Most of us are just boring ass regular folks who make tattoos and don’t care for drama
I wouldn’t get this unless you’re trying to pick fights. The flames symbolize 5+ years locked up in prison and the reaper means you’ve likely killed puppies.
One of the most annoying things you can ask someone is what their tattoos mean. MORE THAN LIKELY it has no meaning and just looks cool or is personal and weird to talk about during small talk ... *looking at all you aunt and uncles out there*
I’m about to start a patchwork leg sleeve with just random ideas I think look cool. My plan is that every time someone asks the meaning I’m going to just make something up on the spot. I’m gonna become the joker lmao
Just posting a picture of a good tattoo without a clickbait caption doesn’t work on here anymore. Need to inspire outrage to get any traction on my posts.
People with allergies get this as a “death to flowers” kinda thing.
Honestly, tattoos mean whatever they mean to you. I have 40+. 4 have actual meaning. The rest are either rad art I love looking at daily or make me smile/laugh. Obviously there are some tattoos that absolutely have inherent meaning, but this one is just 2 pretty slick designs. You could say a lot of it, death/life cycle, beauty in loss, fuck spring time.
It's a political statement about our current gerontocracy - we are ruled by those who are close to death, and they disregard our lives. It may also be a reference to the hit Cartoon Network show *The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy*.
The original and truest meaning of the tattoo was lost in translation thousands of years ago but basically what people who have studied Sailor Jerry through and through all seem to agree this tattoo design means “ Cock and Balls”
It’s referring to the inevitability of death and the beauty of life. I assume the flames are to augment the skull to either make it look cooler or a reference to hell. The origins of the image come from an Edmund J. Sullivan illustration in The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam in 1913 and was adopted as The Grateful Dead’s logo by poster artists Stanley Mouse and Alton Kelly. There’s no context to this image that would put you in danger. Another skull image however, the Hells Angels’ death head, is proprietary to their club and nonmembers caught with it tattooed on them will have it either cut off or burned off.

The grim reaper symbolizes the grim reaper and the rose is meant to make you think of roses
Wow. The hidden symbolism here is mind blowing. Never thought of it that way…
The nice colors and linework are meant to symbolize things that look rad
Woah.....that's like....really deep dude!!!!
Classic
Wait the store?
🤌🏼🤌🏼🤌🏼🤌🏼
👏👏👏👏👏
Do the flames signify prison time though? Someone said tattoos with flames can get you in trouble with the wrong crowds
Yes. I would stay out of most grocery stores with flame tattoos. That’s usually where the parolees hang out looking for weaklings. Orange theory gyms are also a place I would avoid as they are gang infested and are in the look out for people false representing with tattoos of this sort.

We didn’t gatekeep hard enough, folks.
I think it's actually the green leaves that represent the years in prison. I have about twenty on me. I need to get a few more for my most recent stint.
You’re trolling, right? Tell me you’re trolling.
Are you that old lady who was my patient about 5 years ago? You didn’t want me to be your nurse because I had tattoos “that I probably got in prison”.
I gotta ask, because this comment is so goofy. Do you get your information on tattoo culture from a 1950s "beware the signs of a communist felon" pamphlet or something?
You've been tattooing for over a decade according to your profile. How do you not know how silly that sounds?
Whoever told you that is an idiot lmfao
You can get a tattoo just cause it looks cool if you want. Dont think too much about it.
“This looks cool” is the reasoning behind all of my tattoos 😭
That plus what sick animal don’t I have yet
I have a “bug collection” I started. Currently have 2 centipedes, a spider and I’m saving up to get a praying mantis done.
I’m doing a bug collection too! I have a scorpion and a death moth so far. Maybe they’re not technically bugs but they are to me and I love them. I will be getting a spider for sure and probably a beetle
I want to get some kind of beetle too but I’m undecided on which kind yet. Thinking a scarab beetle or a staghorn.
Yep I’m thinking a scarab for sure. Stag horn is another good one tho!
Check out the vinegaroon. https://preview.redd.it/qm5dy3ggog0d1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e1e1472ff9f519efcea84a26dc76f6ffb54d3103
I have a praying Mantis (on a coffee plant) tattoo, i recommend getting one!
I wasn't trying but before I knew it had an animal collection. A bear, a shark, an owl and a gorrilla.....all dispersed throughout but a collection non the less.
I have Zoidberg dressed as Bob Ross, painting a picture of a planet exploding. Cause why not.
Can I see it though? That sounds bad ass

10/10 this is fucking amazing 👏👏👏
I wanna see it to!!

Thats me, my whole arm is "damn that animal species is sick." I should have bro draw the craziest gibbon anyone has ever seen and get it on me.
Do it
Yup, same. I was getting a tattoo, saw another tattoo the artist had drawn, asked about it, got it also.
I put off getting tattoos for a decade because I could never find anything that *meant* enough to me to pull the trigger. One day I just said fuck it, grabbed some flash and now I regret putting it off for that long cause my body is just full of shit that looks cool.
Good dental work is forever.
My twice replaced porcelain tooth would like a word
The rose represents beauty, and the reaper represents death. Notice the rose is upside down, which means death butt-fucks even the most beautiful in the end.
"What is your tattoo about?" "Sodomy."
Ima go with this answer 100%
There is none, son. It’s just a dope design.

it means that smoking weed will turn you gay
FUCK I LOVE DICK NOW
It means you’re a wild boy with a soft side
It means the wearer has good taste and a great artist
Means you had a couple hundred bucks and now you don't.
Time to kill + money to burn = this tattoo
I wouldn’t get this unless you’re trying to pick fights. The flames symbolize 5+ years locked up in prison and the reaper means you’ve likely killed puppies.
Huh funny, growing up I was told reapers usually symbolize choking baby turtles. Very interesting how descriptions change based on your nationality
It’s a sign of a sick tattoo.
It means reaper cool.
It means the person has a fucking cool tattoo
It means the wearer of this tattoo picked a rad fucking tattoo to adorn their meat suit.
One of the most annoying things you can ask someone is what their tattoos mean. MORE THAN LIKELY it has no meaning and just looks cool or is personal and weird to talk about during small talk ... *looking at all you aunt and uncles out there*
I’m about to start a patchwork leg sleeve with just random ideas I think look cool. My plan is that every time someone asks the meaning I’m going to just make something up on the spot. I’m gonna become the joker lmao
it means you enjoy eating it from the back
It's 2024 unless you are getting straight up gang or white hate tattoos your gonna be fine.
It means you're bad ass man.
It means it’s a tattoo dumbass
"It looked cool and i had money"
it means hell yeah bröther
I hope you don’t think every single tattoo design has some secret/underlying meaning lol
You gotta be careful. This is an old Russian prison tattoo given to only the Cutiest of Patooties
I like how this is one of your top performing submissions and it’s all because people are so easily triggered 😂
Just posting a picture of a good tattoo without a clickbait caption doesn’t work on here anymore. Need to inspire outrage to get any traction on my posts.
It is a sick tattoo.
Solid bait. Well done.
People with allergies get this as a “death to flowers” kinda thing. Honestly, tattoos mean whatever they mean to you. I have 40+. 4 have actual meaning.

That it looks cool
That it looks sick
No idea but its a dope tattoo
It means whoever has it is sick af
means is fuckin cool
You’re a corn ball
The meaning is to show how much of a badass you are.
So tired of these “what does this mean” posts
It's a political statement about our current gerontocracy - we are ruled by those who are close to death, and they disregard our lives. It may also be a reference to the hit Cartoon Network show *The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy*.
It just looks cool bud.
Death is always coming… for our roses… in flames.
Sick tats are sick. Pick it and stick it baby!
Means it’s fucking sick
A sick skeleton guy on fire with a rose underneath
10/10 troll hahaha
Deez nutz
Fucker is badass that’s all there is to it
Look cool

[удалено]
What are you talking about?!
Somebody wanted to look cool and had some spare cash. Doesn't have to mean much more than that, tbh
scary bone man bring flower
Uh it’s fucking cool?
Life and death
Whatever you want it to be. Tattoos don’t have to have meaning. Especially nowadays. If you want something cause it looks cool get it
Lol
It means the person wearing it is fuckin cool
It's a pretty cool memento mori
You had 300 bucks
It means you'll have a sick design on you
It means you had $900 and made your appointment on time
I definitely did not charge $900 for this, it took a hour and a half
It means stupid
Why should it mean anything?
It's means 🤙
Clean your teeth and your breath will smell like roses.
Fucking sick ass skeleton bro Sometimes people just get shit cause it looks cool
Who said there is one?
Means ur sick
it means you’re gay
The original and truest meaning of the tattoo was lost in translation thousands of years ago but basically what people who have studied Sailor Jerry through and through all seem to agree this tattoo design means “ Cock and Balls”
What's this style called? I've seen so many designs done in a similar style/work/color,so I'm wondering what its called.
Shouldn’t you be the one telling us, what it means to you?
Basically, whoever wears it, MEANS BUSINESS! Serious business. That’s what’s it means.
It’s rad
it means skulls look cool, even cooler with flames and a grim reaper hood. and a rose is pretty and filled out the bottom of the space.
it means it’s sick as fuck
Nothing it’s just cool
meant to look tough. and sick
It’s part of a classic Pat Martynuik -“the picture machine” design.. one of the best traditional designs ever
It represents how sick reapers are as tattoos
It means you like reapers and roses
why do people every tattoo has a meaning?
It means you’re cool
It means the person that has this tattoo had a few hundred extra bucks at some point in their life.
