By nature, humans are imaginative. We always want to show the complex emotions and ideas inside us.
Some express creativity through writing, some by making things, and others through visual arts. How we express doesn’t matter as much as the act of expressing. What counts is that others can see and understand what we create.
This isn’t new. For thousands of years, humans have been creating, leaving creative marks on architecture, food, clothes, and even city designs.
So, it’s not surprising that many use their skin as a living canvas. Tattoos, for example, have had deep meaning in many cultures. Although some societies once disliked them, now they’re seen as a way to show one’s inner self.
For many, tattoos have personal meaning, symbolizing passions, interests, or life views. You often see designs related to a person’s identity.
Interestingly, tattoos can give us a look into the minds of those who have them. Sometimes it’s easy to understand, and sometimes it’s hard.
However, tattoos aren’t always positive. Some people have symbols that society rejects. Others have markings that can be a warning.
A good example is the three – dot tattoo. It’s often linked to the Russian prison system. People know about criminal tattoos like teardrops, but the three – dot one is less well – known.
The three – dot tattoo can mean different things, like secrecy, loyalty, or time in prison. It’s often on the left hand, maybe from Buddhist ideas of the three wise monkeys. In this sense, it means not doing bad things.
But in reality, it’s more often connected to Russian prisons, for people who committed serious crimes. Each dot can mean ten years in prison, so three dots could mean thirty years. Also, criminal groups may use it as a sign of loyalty, warning others.
Still, when you see someone with a three – dot tattoo, use your own judgment. Some may just like how it looks, and some may have changed their lives.
So, don’t judge quickly. Now you know a bit more about what this mysterious mark might mean.
