The Dark Symbolism of Russian Mafia Tattoos

Russian mafia tattoos hold deep meanings, marking a criminal's rank, mentality, and past. The Bratva uses symbols like skulls, crosses, snakes, and barbed wire to signify power, deception, and imprisonment. A skull represents fearlessness, while a cross denotes high status in the underworld. The word "Каюсь", meaning "I repent," is often tattooed as a forced confession, symbolizing humiliation. Barbed wire inked around the neck or wrists signifies a life without freedom, while a snake coiling around a dagger marks a ruthless enforcer. These Russian mafia tattoos tell a story of violence and survival, often depicted on Russian shirts and Russian t-shirts as reminders of the criminal world’s brutal reality.
