The Meaning of the Russian Bratva Church Tattoo

The church or cathedral tattoo is iconic within the world of Russian prison ink. Its meaning varies depending on the number of domes or spires, with each representing years spent in prison or a ranking within the criminal hierarchy. For members of the Bratva mafia, these tattoos go beyond prison time—they symbolize a spiritual rejection of societal laws, loyalty to the criminal code, and an almost sacred reverence for their way of life.

Symbolism Behind the Church Tattoo:

1. Domes and Spires: A visual record of the wearer’s time served in prison.
2. Faith and Rebellion: A duality of religious imagery and defiance against traditional morality.
3. Criminal Hierarchy: Denotes respect and rank within the underworld.

• Loyalty and Brotherhood: Marking allegiance to the Bratva or other groups.
• Criminal Rank: Stars, crowns, or domes signify leadership and respect.

Each tattoo is earned, not chosen, making it a badge of honor and experience.
