I knew the teardrop is was a prison tattoo. Why not by choice?

I read somewhere that some prison gangs use it to identify child rapists.

I double-checked. The teardrop signifying child sexual assaulter is in Australia so I guess it is not the case here.

The “psycho”, though, doesn’t look professional, and may well have been done by force.

Teardrop means you killed. One tear per kill.
