TATTOOS AND THEIR MEANINGS
Tattoos are useful indicators to identify individuals who are members of a gang or a criminal organization. It is important to note that an image may have several different, occasionally innocuous, meanings, depending on the interpretation of the individual or gangs using it.
The Organized Crime Section (OCS) is providing the following tattoos and their definitions as a tool to assist officers in detecting gang members or members of a criminal organization. It is important that Border Services Officers contact their Regional Intelligence Officers to assist in determining a subject's admissibility to Canada.
For any questions or comments regarding this product, you may contact the OCS by telephone at: 613-795-8192 or by email at: Nat_organized_crime@cbsa-asfc.gc.ca

RUSSIAN PRISON TATTOOS CAT
A cat tattoo represents a prisoner's life as a thief. A single cat signifies that the criminal acted alone, while several cats together show that the criminal was part of a gang.
The head of a tomcat is considered good luck for a thief. It can also serve as a warning, as it signifies a dangerous criminal who hates law enforcement, especially if worn on the chest.
