Tattooed Crook | comment |
Tattoos have a long history and have over the millennia been signs of different social classes, from royalty to the rags. In more recent times, they have become associated with criminals, sailors, and criminal sailors (a.k.a. pirates). In fiction, a tattoo can act as a shorthand for "criminal", and at times it's not that far off. Organized crime from Yakuza to Gangbangers have their own codes, and prisoners tell their life stories in pictures. The attitudes towards tattoos have softened during the past decades. In an old movie, a character with a tattoo was either a sailor or a thug. In the 2020s, regular middle-class people get tattoos. Indeed, old pirate and prisoner tattoo designs have been adopted into the general lexicon of regular tattoos, prime example being the spider web, which depending on the bearer might have once meant drug addiction, incarceration, or killing a minority, but is now a fashion accessory. Still, the stigma with the past backgrounds makes tattoos popular with rebel types. Even the Rule-Abiding Rebel — or especially the Rule-Abiding Rebel, since it does not actually require committing illegal acts to look rebellious. There is still extreme stigma related to tattoos in Japan, as they are still closely associated with the Yakuza to this day. A tattoo is still a common visual cue in Japanese media for a character of dubious morals or simply a delinquent. This could be regarded as an Evolving Trope; as tattoos went into mainstream fashion during The '90s, the gangland crooks took their tattoos up a notch with neck tattoos and face tattoos (see Tattoo as Character Type). If a group of crooks has a defining tattoo, see Group-Identifying Feature. May be Embarrassing Tattoo when a crook or rebellious punk rock musician goes straight and moves to Suburbia. In futuristic settings, a Barcode Tattoo may be an Orwellian surveillance and control tactic. In Real Life in the 2020s, tattoos have gone mainstream. Suburban soccer moms and accountants get tattoos, and the college student barista at your Bourgeois Bohemian coffeshop has a full sleeve tattoo that you'd only have seen in The '80s on a Heavy Metal lead singer or a Badass Biker. Some Real Life tattoos have a horrifying usage. Nazis put identification tattoos on Jewish prisoners in WWII concentration camps during the Holocaust. |

House in the episode "Acceptance", the team is treating a man on death row for four murders. The man himself has a lot of prison-made tattoos, which start heating up in the MRI machine because of their heavy metal content. Ealrier, the inmate also spots a small tattoo on the wrist of Dr. Foreman, and asks if he's a gang member, which Foreman denies and says the tattoo is just a native american symbol. | |

The Simpsons: In the episode "Cape Feare", we see Sideshow Bob's prison tattoos, including "DIE BART DIE" ("Oh, it's German, 'The Bart, The'"), as well as his Knuckle Tattoos LUV and HÄ€T, referencing The Night of the Hunter. Also, recurring petty crook Snake has a tattoo reflecting his moniker on his right arm. "Tattoo Annie" in Springfield Women's jail has a Mad Magazine fold-out page tattooed on her back, reading "What kind of slime would I marry?" folding into "What, me worry?" There's a Season 27 Couch Gag that makes a parody of Miami Vice and Knight Rider with Ned Flanders portrayed as the villain. While working out in prison, he's shown with several tattoos, one of which is his catchphrase "Hi-diddly-ho, neighborino!" while most of the others are christianism symbols. |

The Like a Dragon series naturally features many characters with irezumi back tattoos and some with sleeve tattoos. The series protagonist, Kazuma Kiryu, has a full-back tattoo of a silver dragon that's shown whenever he takes his shirt off for a final boss throwdown. Fan-favorite Goro Majima has a Hannya face on his back. The tattoos are highly symbolic as well. Kiryu's enemies tend to either invoke Tiger Versus Dragon (Against Shimano or Saejima) or Legendary Carp (Against Nishikiyama or Aizawa). Majima's mask, on the other hand, is indicative of his hiding his true personality behind "the Mad Dog". Yakuza 0: Notably, Kiryu's dragon tattoo is unfinished in this game, symbolizing that he hasn't yet become the Dragon of Dojima. The 3 Dojima Lieutenants have their own irezumi that are symbolic in Kiryu's 1988 adventure. Daisaku Kuze has Judge Enma, signifying the 5 trials (read: fights) that Kiryu goes through, Hiroki Awano has Momotaro, a Japanese folk hero who slays demons, and he faces off against Majima, who has a hannya, a demon of sorts. Finally, there's Keiji Shibusawa, who has a green Dragon irezumi, and also refers to himself as Dragon of Dojima. The heavily-tattooed ex-hitman Wen Hai Lee. He's searching for the man who kidnapped Makoto and sold her into slavery, with the only real clue to his identity being the distinctive bat tattoo on his left forearm. Every member of Oda's old street gang, including Tachibana, had a bat tattoo, but Oda's the only one responsible for selling Makoto. In Yakuza 3, Yoshitaka Mine has the Kirin, a creature claimed to only appear in the presence of wise and benevolent leaders, clearly alluding to his Undying Loyalty to Daigo Dojima. Kirin are also stated to be the only creature capable of killing a dragon. Except for Kiryu. You basically can't beat him, let alone actually kill him, no matter how strong you are. Unless you're Saejima, but that dream is still far. Yakuza 4 has Majima's Lieutenant Daisaku Minami, who combines the traditional irezumi with wacky Western-style tattoos, like a snake slithering around a skull on his back, and the word "HONOR" in Gothic font on his belly, showing his balls-off-the-walls personality. Yakuza 6: Defied with Takumi Someya who lacks the Irezumi, having a disdain against them entirely to show how far from the Good Old Ways the Yakuza has fallen, much to Kiryu's shock. Played straight with Tsuneo Iwami, the game's Final Boss, who carries a dark-coloured Bai Ze on his back. The Bai Ze is a creature with the body of a beast and the face of a man. It's said to know the affairs of gods and ghosts, and he was able to discover the Secret of Onomichi by himself, despite his father's attempts to keep him in the dark on it. It also fits given how he looks completely unassuming and harmless on the surface, but is actually a vicious and figuratively monstrous criminal mastermind. Lost Judgment: The Kaito Files has Shusuke Kenmochi, who sports tribal tattoos. |

On the Castle episode "Under the Gun", the murder victim was an ex-con who had stashed the jewels he stole in a Manhattan graveyard. After they failed to find anything, Castle glanced at the victim's photo and realized that the roman numeral tattoos on his arm were the key to finding the stolen loot. | |

In Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2003), several members of the Purple Dragons gang sport the gang's trademark dragon as a tattoo. Their leader, Hun, sports the dragon tattoo along his left arm and wore a tattoo of the Foot insignia on his left. Another member had a purple dragon tattooed on his face, and not surprisingly, everyone called him "Dragon Face." | |

Grand Theft Auto V reintroduces tattoos for the player characters. Each of the three protagonists has their own selection to pick from, reflecting their different personalities and tastes. Trevor even has a memorial tattoo for Michael, who he thought was dead before the events of the game. Franklin's friend Lamar Davis is very heavily tattooed on both arms. The tattoo artist at the tattoo shop will cheerfully tell the player "I do gang stuff too" Marabunta Grande, a gang based on the real life Mara Salvatrucha or MS-13 gang is identifiable by members' large face tattoos, and is featured in both GTAV and Online |

RWBY: Vernal has a tattoo on her left arm of a phoenix rising from flowers towards the crescent moon. She's a member of the Branwen Tribe, which is a band of thieves and murderers that has been known to hit villages and then leave them vulnerable to subsequent Grimm attacks as a result of the negative energy their attacks create. When the tribe captures Weiss, she is thrilled to have the chance to ransom Weiss off to her father. Lil' Miss Malachite, a crime boss of the Mistral underworld, runs a criminal organization with a spider motif. The organization's spider-in-web sigil, aside from being used to mark affiliated buildings, also serves as a gang tattoo. Every single person who works for her organization has the same tattoo somewhere on their body, with Lil' Miss herself wearing hers on her left shoulder. |

Shot Caller: Jacob acquires a large number of white supremacy tattoos during his prison sentence displaying his gang affiliations. Obviously, the same holds true for the other higher-ranked members. Interestingly, when he's formally inducted into the Aryan Brotherhood, the leader tells him not to get any AB symbols tattooed on him so the guards can't "validate" him, i.e. conclusively identify him as a member. | |

In Moby-Dick, Queequeg's tattoos are frequently used as a marker of his "savagery", although in this case, it's less to do with criminality than to do with culture - to him, they're actually a marker of his noble lineage (he is the son of a chief), but to the Americans, they make him look like a ferocious barbarian, and even as we get to know and like Queequeg, it's still very clear that he's a very dangerous man, and freely admits to having eaten people. The book was written when tattoos were just beginning to catch on in the west, and were still heavily associated with Polynesia. | |

In X-Men Noir, all of Xavier's original X-Men have an "X" tattooed somewhere on their body — and all of them are master criminals in the making. In the sequel, Mark of Cain, prisoners at Genosha Bay are marked with an "M" tattoo over their right eye. This is ostensibly to signify that they pose a "maximum" risk should they ever be transferred to another facility, but functionally, it serves as an automatic identifier should they manage to escape. | |

S.W.A.T. (2017): In "Never Again" the robbers each sport a tattoo in Hebrew on their chest saying "Never Again". Deacon and Chris note it's odd as they're Jews but tattooing isn't allowed in Judaism and even will get you excluded from a Jewish traditional cemetery, but they clearly didn't care. Since it denoted a vow which they made against their parents' murderers, this isn't too surprising.note That tattooing will get you excluded from a traditional Jewish cemetery is a common but erroneous belief, promulgated by parents and authority figures to discourage tattooing. It is one of the many things that is prohibited but not punishable—and tattooing is not prohibited if done for a medical reason, as may be the case with marks for radiation treatment (in which case it might actually be required, to help save a life) or to ameliorate a disfiguring condition (this under the rationale that the tattooing would increase the person's ability to earn a living and to marry). Also no one would dare suggest that a Jew tattooed under duress in a concentration camp should be excluded from burial in a Jewish cemetery. | |

Taken to its logical extreme with two supervillains known as the Tattooed Man (one of which was a Green Lantern foe in the Silver Age), both of whom have the ability to bring their many tattoos to life for villainous purposes. In a later story two of his tattoos — Kabuki Dan (a samurai) and Altara (a succubus) — come to life outside of his power and commit crimes of their own volition, making them the most literal possible expression of this trope: criminals who are tattoos. | |

Alexei Shostakov from Black Widow (2021) acquires a large number of tattoos during his time in a Russian prison. Like Vanko's, many of them are descriptions of his crimes, length of incarceration, and political stances. He also has more personal markings dedicated to Melina, Natasha, and Yelena showing that he really did love them even though their "family" was a cover story for spy work. | |

Pretty much every Triad-affiliated character in Sleeping Dogs (2012). The main character has a sneaky one. The tattoo on his right arm is a depiction of the deity Guan Yu, who is venerated as the protector of all things requiring badassitude and loyalty, and is a favored god among both the Triads and the police. |

In RWBY: Roman Holiday, Roman Torchwick is revealed to have once been a member of the Spiders gang, and has their signature tattoo on his left forearm. After ditching the Spiders to start his own criminal empire in Vale, he has the tattoo inked over with a new tattoo of his own symbol, a grinning jack-o-lantern. | |

Marvel Universe: Daken from Wolverine sports a very prominent tribal tattoo on his left pectoral, trapezius, and arm, despite having inherited his dad's Healing Factor. The Deacon from Ghost Rider has religious symbols and iconography tattooed all over his entire body, and true to form, he is a very devout... uh... Christianity-derived murderous evil cult member. He's also first encountered by the Ghost Rider in prison (long story). The Red Skull from The Ultimates has these all over his body, including on his skinned face! Young X-Men, the short-lived revamp of New X-Men: Academy X, features a group of minor villains named the Y-Men. They're white trash career criminals whose powers come from their tattoos, done by a mutant tattoo artist — for instance, the guy with a bomb on his hand has an explosive punch, while the guy with cheetah spots on his back has super speed. The Young X-Men member named Ink got his own powers from the same source. In X-Men Noir, all of Xavier's original X-Men have an "X" tattooed somewhere on their body — and all of them are master criminals in the making. In the sequel, Mark of Cain, prisoners at Genosha Bay are marked with an "M" tattoo over their right eye. This is ostensibly to signify that they pose a "maximum" risk should they ever be transferred to another facility, but functionally, it serves as an automatic identifier should they manage to escape. |

In Law & Order: Criminal Intent, Goren has been known to identify what prisons a criminal has served time in by identifying their prison ink. One episode had him being puzzled by a tattoo on a body until he discovered the victim had entered the U.S. from Canada. A Canadian contact was able to identify what prison the victim had been in after seeing a photo of the tattoo. | |

In Dragon Age: Origins, casteless dwarves are forced to have their faces tattooed so to set them apart from regular dwarven citizens. Since casteless dwarfs have no rights in dwarven society and cannot work legally, every one of them is either a thug working for the local crime syndicate or a beggar. | |

Banshee: The crime kingpin Kai Proctor has a crucifix tattooed on his back. The Ukrainian mobsters tend to wear nice suits but you can still see some of their tattoos on their hands and necks. In contrast, Lucas does not seem to have any tattoos even after spending 15 years in prison. All the neo-Nazis in the Brotherhood have tattoos. Kurt Bunker quit the gang and has been trying to atone for his actions as a member but he still is covered with Nazi tattoos and cannot afford to have them removed. When he refuses an offer to rejoin the Brotherhood, his former comrades burn some of his tattoos off with a blowtorch. |

Marvel Cinematic Universe: Ivan Vanko from Iron Man 2 is covered in Russian prison tattoos. Except those tattoos seem to indicate that he's a card sharp and did time for theft, disorderly conduct, and raping a minor, even though he was supposed to have been jailed for plutonium smuggling. In Guardians of the Galaxy (2014), Drax never wears a shirt, showing off a muscular torso covered with elaborate scarification. Spider-Man: Homecoming: Mac Gargan has a noticeable tattoo of a scorpion on the left side of his neck. Alexei Shostakov from Black Widow (2021) acquires a large number of tattoos during his time in a Russian prison. Like Vanko's, many of them are descriptions of his crimes, length of incarceration, and political stances.

Yakuza 0: Notably, Kiryu's dragon tattoo is unfinished in this game, symbolizing that he hasn't yet become the Dragon of Dojima. The 3 Dojima Lieutenants have their own irezumi that are symbolic in Kiryu's 1988 adventure. Daisaku Kuze has Judge Enma, signifying the 5 trials (read: fights) that Kiryu goes through, Hiroki Awano has Momotaro, a Japanese folk hero who slays demons, and he faces off against Majima, who has a hannya, a demon of sorts. Finally, there's Keiji Shibusawa, who has a green Dragon irezumi, and also refers to himself as Dragon of Dojima. The heavily-tattooed ex-hitman Wen Hai Lee. He's searching for the man who kidnapped Makoto and sold her into slavery, with the only real clue to his identity being the distinctive bat tattoo on his left forearm. Every member of Oda's old street gang, including Tachibana, had a bat tattoo, but Oda's the only one responsible for selling Makoto. |

In Yakuza 3, Yoshitaka Mine has the Kirin, a creature claimed to only appear in the presence of wise and benevolent leaders, clearly alluding to his Undying Loyalty to Daigo Dojima. Kirin are also stated to be the only creature capable of killing a dragon. Except for Kiryu. You basically can't beat him, let alone actually kill him, no matter how strong you are. Unless you're Saejima, but that dream is still far. | |

Yakuza 6: Defied with Takumi Someya who lacks the Irezumi, having a disdain against them entirely to show how far from the Good Old Ways the Yakuza has fallen, much to Kiryu's shock. Played straight with Tsuneo Iwami, the game's Final Boss, who carries a dark-coloured Bai Ze on his back. The Bai Ze is a creature with the body of a beast and the face of a man. It's said to know the affairs of gods and ghosts, and he was able to discover the Secret of Onomichi by himself, despite his father's attempts to keep him in the dark on it. It also fits given how he looks completely unassuming and harmless on the surface, but is actually a vicious and figuratively monstrous criminal mastermind. |

Avatar: The Last Airbender: The assassin Combustion Man has a Third Eye tattoo. Inverted with the Air Nomads. Their tattoos are a sign of mastering Airbending. They are known for being the gentlest, most spiritual nation in the world. In a straight example, Avatar Kyoshi's tie-in novel reveals that her mother Jesa was a rogue Airbender. She met Kyoshi's bandit Earthbender father and ran off with him and started a gang. She turned her arrows into snakes. Subverted with the prisoners from "Avatar Day". They look menacing at first, but it turns out, they're really sensitive and kind. Considering the village's "justice" system, they could very well be innocent people. Also subverted with the Boulder, who makes a Heel–Face Turn. Played with in regards to Jun, the morally ambiguous Bounty Hunter. Sequel Series The Legend of Korra plays it seemingly straight with Red Lotus operatives P'Li (who takes Combustion Man's schtick up a notch and has similar inkwork) and Ghazan (who, according to Word of God, is inked up just for Rule of Cool). |

Batman: Arkham City: The Abramovici Brothers have tattoos representing their affiliations. Hammer has a massive church tattoo on his chest (a common Russian criminal tattoo), while Sickle has a pair of stylized penguins on either pectoral. Harley Quinn has some tattoos in this iteration. She sports two of them with playing card versions of Joker wreathed in roses on her left hip and wrapped around her right forearm. And she's still as crazy and murderous as ever. |

Mass Effect 2. Jack. Kidnapping, murder, arson, theft of military craft ("Parades are boring. I helped."), destruction of a space station, and vandalism...of a moon. With the space station. DLC character Zaeed also displays Fashionable Asymmetry with his right arm partially bare to show off a series of tattoos. Turian society inverts this — most turians you meet wear facepaint to identify what colony they're from. "Barefaced" turians are considered untrustworthy and, true to form, the only barefaced turians you meet are the main villain of the first game, a Prison Ship-running slave trader trying to pass himself off as a hero and a racist politician. |

Bambi "Buck" Hughes of Far Cry 3 is an Australian mercenary who wears the tattoo of a stag head over his bared chest. Somewhat appropriate, since he's a Serial Rapist of other men, and stags are known to be quite violent when it's breeding season. | |

A very insignificant background character in Kingdom Come had the left side of her body covered in tattoos. The annotations refer to her as Signalwoman, in a nod to D-List Batman villain Signalman. The tattoos were meant to correspond with the symbols on his cape. Von Bach and Swastika are both very heavily tattooed; Von Bach's body is almost completely covered in ink, making him black as coal from head to toe except for the unmarked areas on his chest and arms. Swastika has an elaborate design of blocks tattooed on him in such a manner that his non-tattooed skin forms a swastika symbol. | |

Thin Blue Line: When a bunch of anti-cop protestors have cornered Officer Maca and the mayor in their car and killed Sergeant Mack and Officer Mikkelson, a large bald man with snake tattoos approached them. The protestors try to explain how they're on his side, and when it seems like they've swayed him, he shoots the one who was talking to him in the head and demands the Mayor's wallet, which he hands over with no argument. | |

Batman: The Animated Series: The ninja thief Kyodai-Ken has a huge tattoo of a Japanese demon's head on his back. In another episode, Scarface's Dumb Muscle henchman Rhino had a tattoo (of a rhino's head, naturally) on his arm that was not very obvious at all, but Batman was still able to use this feature to identify him from a security camera and discover who he was working for. (Note that this was Scarface's first appearance in the series.) |

One Piece seems to like this trope: Nami first had the Arlong pirate's crest on her shoulder, but after breaking ties with them, changed it into a homage to her adoptive mother Bellemere and surrogate father figure Genzo. Her adoptive older sister Nojiko, despite not being a crook, also got a tattoo to show her sympathy for her. Luffy's brother Ace has the Whitebeard Pirate's crest on his back, which in the manga contained a Manji, but was changed into a cross in the Anime and retconned into the manga. He also has ASCE (with an X through the S) on his bicep; the "S" serves as a reminder of Ace and Luffy's third brother, Sabo, who was killed by a Celestial Dragon years ago (or so everyone thought). Boa Hancock and her sisters Marigold and Sandersonia were revealed to have a scar tattoo on their backs called the "Hoof of the Soaring Dragon", the crest of the Celestial Dragons. It is a mark that is branded into people who are slaves to the World Nobles and signifies that they are "less than human"; Hancock and her sisters invented the story of the Gorgon so nobody would look at their backs. Speaking of which, after Fisher Tiger freed a whole lot of slaves belonging to the Celestial Dragons (the Boa sisters included), he took most of the Fishmen slaves, and re-branded their slave tattoos into what resembled sun tattoos, effectively making it the symbol of the Sun Pirates, which he and Jinbe captained, until Tiger died and Jinbe became one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea. Arlong and much of his crew all sport these tattoos because they were once members of the Sun Pirates themselves before parting ways with Jinbe after Tiger's death. Koala, a human slave that stowed away on the Sun Pirates ship, was also branded with the sun tattoo, and presumably still bears it to this day. Subverted with the New Fishman Pirates. While they sport a tattoo that looks like the Sun Pirates' tattoo at first glance, it has a decapitated human inside the sun ring instead of a dot. Since this would not cover up the Celestial Dragons' Slave Brand, this eventually leads to The Reveal that no member of the New Fishman Pirates has ever been a slave. Trafalgar Law has a number of tattoos, including "Smile" tattoos on his arms, tiny cross-shapes on the backs of his hands, and "DEATH" on his fingers. Dragon the Revolutionary, the most wanted man in the world. The tattoo runs down the left half of his face. Most members of the Longleg Tribe adorn their legs with tattoos, which they then go on to show off by exposing as much of their legs as possible. Big Mom and Kaido, incredibly powerful pirate emperors and the primary antagonists of the Four Emperors Arc, each have tattoos on their left arm. Big Mom has a large heart design, while Kaido has a sleeve resembling scales as well as a skull. Charlotte Katakuri sports tattoos on the left half of his torso, including a wing on his back and his personal Jolly Roger on his shoulder (the same Jolly Roger sported on the back of his jacket). Queen sports a stylized version of the Beast Pirates Jolly Roger on his right shoulder. |

The DCU: Taken to its logical extreme with two supervillains known as the Tattooed Man (one of which was a Green Lantern foe in the Silver Age), both of whom have the ability to bring their many tattoos to life for villainous purposes. In a later story two of his tattoos — Kabuki Dan (a samurai) and Altara (a succubus) — come to life outside of his power and commit crimes of their own volition, making them the most literal possible expression of this trope: criminals who are tattoos. Similar to the Tattooed Man, Batman villain Pyx has the ability to animate the tattoos that cover her body. In All-Star Batman & Robin, the Boy Wonder, the Joker has a large tattoo of a red dragon on his back, suggesting possible Yakuza ties. A very insignificant background character in Kingdom Come had the left side of her body covered in tattoos. The annotations refer to her as Signalwoman, in a nod to D-List Batman villain Signalman. The tattoos were meant to correspond with the symbols on his cape. Von Bach and Swastika are both very heavily tattooed; Von Bach's body is almost completely covered in ink, making him black as coal from head to toe except for the unmarked areas on his chest and arms. Swastika has an elaborate design of blocks tattooed on him in such a manner that his non-tattooed skin forms a swastika symbol. King Snake from Robin (1993), the blind Evil Brit who murdered his way into a position of power among the gangs of Gotham's Chinatown, has a large snake tattooed on his chest. El Diablo from the 2011 Suicide Squad series is a slumlord turned holy man with tats all over his upper body; the ones on his head in particular make it look like a skull. They have some vague connection to his Playing with Fire powers. |

Game of Thrones: Volantis has a variant where slaves are given face tattoos to identify them as such. Quite the Mood Whiplash when one sees them on the show's many prostitutes. There was also a Red Priestess with such a tattoo, implying quite the backstory. | |

Ellis in Left 4 Dead 2 mentions at one point that his friend Keith got a tattoo on his forehead - of the words "I'm A Moron". He won a $200 dare as a result. Keith may or may not be a criminal, but if Ellis is to be believed, he's done a lot of questionable things. | |

In The Croaking the corvids who belong to a gang (called a murder in case of crows) signify their kills through black lines on their arms. Since killing somebody is part of the initiation, full-fledged gang members can easily be recognized by these tattoos. | |

This marks the difference between the levels of criminals in Stiletto. The more street-level criminals, like the biker gangs and the Mexican cartels, all sport large numbers of tattoos. The members of vigil's organised crime family — even Psycho Party Member Lee — are all clean skins. Raina often comments on a criminal's ink before she kills them. | |

Mainyu Mazda, a shady Middle Eastern black market dealer in the Left Behind books, tattoos himself and the victims he has killed with an M, and when Albie pays him a visit to discuss having the GC's meeting place in Al Hillah bugged for money, he is in the process of getting another M tattooed on himself, saying that sometimes he even gets them in advance. The "crook" part comes when he promises Albie that he will have the job done as long as he has the money, and then decides not to do the job after all and keep the money all for himself when he murders Albie. |

Doctor Who: The Third Doctor (or at least his actor) had a snake tattoo on his arm, due to the actor having one. Because it first appeared on screen after he was exiled to Earth, Fanon and Expanded Universe media says it was a prison tattoo. Companion Turlough had a triangle-shaped tattoo-like scar on his arm. In his last storyline, "Planet of Fire", he revealed to the Doctor that he was an escaped political prisoner, and the scar was a prison mark. At the end of the arc, a police officer from his home planet informed him that the regime that had imprisoned him was overthrown and that Turlough and his family were pardoned, so he was free to return to his world. "Rosa": The antagonist, Krasko, has a tattoo on his left wrist identifying him as a former inmate of the Stormcage Containment Facility. |

Inverted example in Yu-Gi-Oh!: while Marik Ishtar is a Big Bad and the leader of his own criminal organization, what caused him to become a crook in the first place was the painful coming of age ritual where he received his large tattoo covering his back. This tattoo is merely associated with becoming Pharaoh Atem's tombkeeper and not with crime; however, this reception of the tattoo augmented Marik's hatred toward Atem as well as created his Superpowered Evil Side, which he would harbor until he would actually become an active Big Bad. Also, Marik's stepbrother Rishid/Odion has a tattoo on the right side of his face. (Again, this had nothing to do with him being a criminal; he did it to himself after Marik was given his tattoos to prove his loyalty to him.) Played straight in 5D's, criminals are given facial scar-like tattoos when incarcerated, even for seemingly minor crimes. The tattoos double as a tracking device in case of repeat offenders. |

A Criminal Minds episode has the BAU investigate a case involving The Mafiya, working alongside a police detective, who specializes in the Russian mob. At one point, an annoyed mobster rips open his shirt in front of Reid, so that the latter knows whom he's dealing with. Reid instantly deciphers all the tattoos on the guy's chest (having memorized them beforehand) and classifies the mobster as a "thief in law" (top of the mob food chain). | |

Ars Magica: Referenced regarding Criamon magi, who spontaneously manifest tattoo-like markings as their power and wisdom grow. However, tattoos are generally socially unacceptable in Mythic Europe, so mundanes are prone to mistake the Criamon for thugs, outlaws, or worse. | |

Horada from Durarara!! sports a butterfly tattoo on his left wrist. The butterfly logo also can be found on his shirt and the hood of his car. He is also one of the more ruthless gang members, also being a former Blue Square higher-up that was involved in the kidnapping and crippling of Kida's girlfriend Saki. | |

Catwoman: Soulstealer: Selina and other Leopards get spot tattoos on their arms as a gang sign, with new spots each time they win fights. However, mostly she keeps them covered with long sleeves so they aren't recognized given the Leopards are known as a gang in Gotham and it could get Selina in trouble. | |

Comes up occasionally in Burn Notice with Michael's narrations sometimes going into the symbology of a tattoo. Like how the prison tattoos on one Russian gangster show the crimes he was incarcerated for. | |

Mindhunter: true to life, Manson has some old prison ink on his forearms and his infamous forehead Swastika. Richard Speck sports a crude "Born to Raise Hell" text on his arm, which is discussed as a part of his descent into his criminal persona. | |

Francis of Left 4 Dead seems to enjoy stealing things, and also pretending to be "The cops". Ellis in Left 4 Dead 2 mentions at one point that his friend Keith got a tattoo on his forehead - of the words "I'm A Moron". He won a $200 dare as a result. Keith may or may not be a criminal, but if Ellis is to be believed, he's done a lot of questionable things. |

The Chronicles of Dorsa: Akella is a pirate captain who's described as having several tattoos, with the only visible ones usually those on the backs of her hands. This isn't related to being a pirate specifically though. Agessian rizalts (captains) all get more tattoos related to how brave they are. | |
