What Does Three Dots Mean Tattoo

The three dots tattoo is a common prison tattoo that represents “mi vida loca,” or “my crazy life.” It is typically seen as three dots in a triangular formation placed on the webbing between the thumb and index finger. This tattoo is thought to symbolize one of three things: that the person has lived a hard life, is doing time in prison, or is part of a gang. It can also be used as a sign of pride, to represent a journey, or simply to honor a special moment in life.
