Tear drop tattoo?

[orangeman]

Well, for you guys that know this dont flame me lol. But I just wanna know what exactly does that tear drop on people faces mean? I'm asking this because I actually like how it looks and wanted to get one but I heard it was a gang thing and also meant that you killed some one or something. Now I dont know anything about gangs other than what I'm told by the people I know but I never asked this because they would probably think I was stupid...I dont know what it means but I dont wanna get somethin on me thats perminant and having everyone thinking I did something I didnt so before I get this I wanna know, what does it mean?

different meaning for different folks
1 tear = 1 year locked up
1 tear = 1 life taken
1 tear = 1 sad person

if you like it get it
later in life if you want it taken off
its small so it wont cost much to remove

Thats probably why I would get it, but no I'm not a emo or w/e those people are or nothing I just have alot of problems and I would get the tattoo for meaning of struggle and most of the time never happy.
