Tear

This tattoo is one of the most well-known in the prison world and can have different meanings. Most often, if you see a prisoner with a teardrop tattooed under their eye, it means they are serving a long sentence or have already committed murder. In this context, the teardrop symbolizes the sadness and grief felt for the mother of the murdered person.

The tattoo can also mean that the person has attempted to commit murder or that a friend of the prisoner has been killed and he wants revenge.

Essentially, an ink-filled teardrop signifies that the prisoner already has at least one crime to their name, and with each subsequent murder, a new teardrop is added.

If the teardrop isn't filled, it may indicate that the "job" isn't finished: the prisoner is expressing a desire for revenge after the death of a loved one, a friend, or even a cellmate. This shows that he doesn't feel vengeful and that only when he achieves that goal will he be able to "fill his teardrop" and sleep peacefully… in his cell.
