What Do 3 Dots Tattoo Mean

The three dots tattoo is a popular tattoo design with a variety of symbolic meanings. Generally, the three dots stand for the Latin phrase ‘mi vida loca’ (‘my crazy life’), though the phrase is sometimes accompanied by the phrase ‘live free’. In the criminal world, the three dots can be seen as a way of showing solidarity, with the wearer expressing that no matter how ‘crazy’ their lives can get, they will remain unified by the same philosophy. In other contexts, the three dots tattoo can also stand for the holy trinity – the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost. Alternatively, it can represent the three words of the phrase ‘mi vida loca’: ‘my’, ‘crazy’ and ‘life’. Finally, some people may simply choose the design because they personally find it aesthetically pleasing or meaningful to them. Ultimately, the symbolism behind the three dots tattoo is open to the wearer’s interpretation.
