Five Dots Tattoo - United States

United States

In the United States, the five dot tattoo could mean you are a member of the Blood or People Nation gangs that represent the points on the five-pointed star. It is usually put on the left hand.

It is also a tattoo common for the Oriental Troop gang. The Oriental Troops are Crip-affiliated, but the five dots also represent the "5" in "15," which represents the fifteenth letter of the alphabet: "O" for "Oriental." Also, in the "Oriental Culture", the five dots represent Health, Wealth, Family, Love, and Respect.

It is also a tattoo for Vietnamese gang members. The five dots stand for the five ts, which are, Tình, Tiền, Tù, Tội, Thù, which translates to love, money, prison, crime, revenge.

Five dot tattoos also represents a senior gang member or "OG": original gangster. The original three dots represent the wearer and the homies gangbanging with each other. Adding two more dots represents a gangster who earns the right to command others: the wearer surrounded by others in protection.

Famous quotes related to united states:

    The veto is a President’s Constitutional right, given to him by the drafters of the Constitution because they wanted it as a check against irresponsible Congressional action. The veto forces Congress to take another look at legislation that has been passed. I think this is a responsible tool for a president of the United States, and I have sought to use it responsibly.
    Gerald R. Ford (b. 1913)

    I have ever deemed it fundamental for the United States never to take active part in the quarrels of Europe. Their political interests are entirely distinct from ours. Their mutual jealousies, their balance of power, their complicated alliances, their forms and principles of government, are all foreign to us. They are nations of eternal war.
    Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)

    Scarcely any political question arises in the United States that is not resolved, sooner or later, into a judicial question.
    Alexis de Tocqueville (1805–1859)

    I feel most at home in the United States, not because it is intrinsically a more interesting country, but because no one really belongs there any more than I do. We are all there together in its wholly excellent vacuum.
    Wyndham Lewis (1882–1957)

    There is no Soviet domination of Eastern Europe and there never will be under a Ford administration.... The United States does not concede that those countries are under the domination of the Soviet Union.
    Gerald R. Ford (b. 1913)
