I can say with 100% certainty, that the majority of people with spiderweb tattoos these days, have them only because they look cool. Carley works in a tattoo shop and several of our best friends have been tattooing for multiple decades. We spend 20 plus hours a week in tattoo shops, this is knowledge from direct observation.
I would agree that people with obvious gang ties should be avoided. I would also agree that the vast majority of people with ANY tattoos on their face ,let alone teardrops, should be avoided for all sorts of reasons.
