does that still (or did it ever) mean that they have killed as many people as drops??

Certain gangs use it as a sign of prestige to show off how many people they have killed. I think now some people get the tattoo knowing what it meant in the past and thinking it will make them look tougher.

From my understanding, it's supposed to be a symbol re: a brother lost in war, recently it has also grown to be a symbal re: a brother lost to gang activities, and or a death in prison.
I've actually known some to have it put there strictly for the need of pitty.. that have not lost a brother to any of the above...
"the new cool look" or "tough look"....

I was watching the A&E channel one night and they were talking about prisons. It was told on that show by one of the inmates that it represents how many people they have killed. I am not really sure myself but that is what was told.
