Cool prison tattoo from a tattoo parlor

So many interesting things inked:

1. Minarets of mosques with domes and crosses.
2. Around Saint Nicholas's head, the word "MIR" is tattooed.
3. The Virgin Mary has her hands in shackles, and the baby has his feet chained.
4. Both Saint Nicholas and the Virgin Mary have tattoos on their hands.
5. The book that Saint Nicholas is holding says: "Kill all the cops without mercy. Crush the bankers "something illegible" and government officials."

MISFIT surfboard

Tattoo of a burglar thief

A cat in a top hat and with a monocle in one paw holds a crowbar, in the other a master key - is a burglar thief. Here is another tattoo of a cat with a mount and master keys, and here is a tattoo of a cat, also in a top hat and with a monocle, but without tools. Maybe the monocle has some meaning.

Tattoo of pickpocket

CAT is a pickpocket, and this cat has a feather in his hat, which may indicate that he is a pisaka, that is, he uses a feather for work - a sharp object with which he cuts bags and pockets. Such pickpockets also have a tattoo of a monk writing a book with a feather. What the gun and knife mean is unknown. Perhaps the owner also hunted for robbery, which somehow does not fit with the work of a pickpocket.
