Russian Mafia Tattoos

Posted on October 29, 2017 by blogger

The brutal truth behind Russian Mafia Tattoos is one that we are only dimly aware of. Perhaps you caught the much acclaimed and multi-award winning movie “Eastern Promises” starring Viggo Mortensen, in which he plays a driver of a Russian Mafia boss’ son. His body is riddled with tattoos that trace his history in the Vory v Zakone – the Russian criminal world.

The film makes for great viewing, and really shows up the importance of the tattoos in the criminal society of the Russian Mafia. But these tattoos are more than simple body art, each picture and symbol in a Russian Mafia tattoo is filled with meaning. The tattoos tell the life story of the man wearing them, his sins, his prison sentences, what rank he is, where he is from, and even how many people he has killed.

The tattoos are deeply symbolic and properly unravelling the meanings behind them can only be done by other members of the Russian Mafia. Often, the symbols used are religious, and can include cathedrals and churches with the number of spires indicating the number of times they have been in prison.

Upon initiation into the Russian Mafia, a new recruit is often given a tattoo on their chest which incorporates a rose. As they rise in ranks, they may be given more tattoos, and when they reach the rank of captain, they are finally given a star on their shoulder and very often on their knees as well – to indicate that they kneel before no one.

The culture of Russian Mafia tattoos are said to have originated in the gulag – a prison in Siberia that is known as one of the toughest prisons in the world.

The criminals in the Russian Mafia are bound by a very strict code of conduct, much like the that of the Mafia in Italy, and members who tattoos themselves falsely (to inflate their rank or pretend that they have done certain things that they really haven’t) are often punished with death. Furthermore, if you break the code, you can often be forced to have a tattoo of a sexual nature in a prominent place such as the forehead. These are specifically designed to embarrass the wearer.

Vine tattoos may be either rudimentary, or elaborate. Vines are also used to
draw your eye in a certain direction or may connect separate pieces of body art. Vines that circle around the arms are also a popular placement choice.

Vine imagery also enhances the effect of religious tattoos, so you can use them together with religious tattoo images like communion cups, crosses etc to bring them to better effect. If you are going for a more subtle look, a thin light coloured vine tattoo would probably be more suitable for you than a bold dark-leafed tattoo.

Some individuals have vine tattoos running down their leg or down their outer arm. The the the greatest number commonplace places that you’ll see a vine tattoo on a girl is on the thigh and foot.

You may decide to get vine tattoos just because you consider them beautiful, or you may wish it to represent one of its historical meanings. Early Christians dismissed grapevines and ivy as pagan symbols. A grapevine crown was thought to be the symbol of the deadly sin of gluttony. Many Christian artists thought that the vine was representative of ascension and resurrection. Although the belief of some early Christians that vines were a pagan symbol, in the Bible Jesus calls himself the vine and says his followers are his branches. In modern Christian culture however, vines are thought to be symbols of bounty and peace.
