What do you think a shamrock tattoo means in prison?
Glad I'm not in prison. My shamrock( 4 leaf clover) is part of a tattoo I have had for a couple of decades. Above it is written in Gaelic that describes a part of my life and a time in my life.





An Irishman with Gaelic would know what it means but loosely translates is as follows. " Mi tuig aog ach anna miann air son beatha'' There is a skull in the middle and a clover leaf beneath. It means, basically, " I know death but lust for life". Hard to translate because it is a combination of Irish Gaelic, Scottish Gaelic and Manse.





I am glad to know it may mean something else but I still dont plan on going to prison.

Reply:Proud that there Irish I guess.
Reply:Me thinks you are going to prison and are scared of the AB since this isn't the first time you have asked this. Get it covered up with something else.





Edit: What is the design of the tat? The AB guys usually have pretty uniform ones. If yours is just a shamrock or a shamrock intertwined w/ something else, it may not be a big deal. It really depends on what it is. Email me if you are really worried. I know a guy who would have a defintive answer, if you get my drift.
Reply:THE THREE LEAF CLOVER IS NOT A WHITE SUPREMACY THING--(GANG OFFICER AT STATE PRISON FOR 18 YEARS) WHITE SUPREMACISTS WEAR A SWASTIKA, CROSSES, BLUE BIRD, AB LOGO OF AIR BORNE RANGERS AS ARIAN BROTHERS--TEXAS SYNDICATE AND ARIAN BROTHERHOOD)


BEING IRISH IS A CLOVER DONE IN GREEN-USUALLY " IRELAND FOREVER" IN QUOTES UNDER THE CLOVER OR ABOVE IT.


THE CLOVER OPEN USUALLY FILLED WITH THE INITIALS I.R.A. OR "SHAWN FINN" DENOTES THAT OF THE IRISH REPUBLICAN ARMY


USUALLY THOUGH THOSE WHO ARE IN THE KNOW, KNOW THAT MOST IN THE IRA ARE KNOWN ONLY TO EACH OTHER (DO NOT WEAR MARKINGS)


THUSLY ONE CAN DEDUCE THE MARKINGS ARE FOR SUPPORTERS OF THE IRA.OR IRELAND AND HERITAGE.
Reply:In the unit that I worked at,each leaf had a 6 in it,I think you can discern the meaning.
