As a side note: Has anyone ever seen a "DNR" tattoo? I always hear the legends but have yet to see one for myself.
A white male (former soldier judging by the other tattoos he had) with Arabic writing across his shoulders about 2" tall......the Jordanian ED doc on duty started laughing when he saw the guy. We all looked at him and he said, "Oh, right....none of you speak Arabic, and apparently neither does he. The best translation for that is "I like to suck cock".
The best part was a scroll waving its way over the top of the flags with a single word in large script: REDNECK
32 y/o female: (tattoo takes up almost her entire back)
Two flags overlying either scapula: One US flag, one confederate, with the staffs crossed in her mid back

I seem to recall hearing that this is a prison tat - something about each teardrop representing a year in the joint.how common is the teardrop tatoo with you guys? i've seen about 4 people with them.
The teardrop in hispanic gnags represent a murdered homie, in a biker gang it is number of times thrown in prison.
Also, a spider web tattoo on an elbow in a biker gang represents a racial killing. the "1%er" tattoo on arms is also a sign of a biker gang.
We have a large biker population during the summers and usually see a few through the year. Usually are nice guys, but knowing what the tats mean make me avoid them as much as I can.
Had a nice elderly male paient with a German name/accent in for CP. When I was examining him, I noticed a Nazi era tattoo on his mid chest right over the sternum. It was the one of the eagle (?) with wings spread. I asked him about it, and he just quietly replied that it was done a long time ago during a very dark time...Sent one big chill right up my spine to think that this may have been one of the guys leading my peeps in to take thier last "shower"😡
