Women's tattoos

Prison women's tattoos and their meaning are different from men's. This is due to the fact that women and men are kept separately, although some tattoos may have a common meaning. For example, in this photo on the shoulder, a rose and barbed wire, the meaning is most likely the same as for men - she came of age in prison. The number of turns of wire can mean the number of years of imprisonment.
