Depends. In Australia, teardrop tattoos are forcibly put on convicted child molesters.
Here the open tear drop split into 2 means you killed someone, the closed drop means you lost someone due to violence and you mourn them.

Some prisoners have one that represents every time he has been locked up. To other prisoners it represents five years served.
To some gangs, each tear drop represents a killing. It's kinda like notches on a gunslingers gun.

I don't know if this is true, but I heard that it stands for how many people you have killed.
One teardrop one person. Two teardrops, two people. Etc.
