I don't know anything about the teardrop representation. Why not get a tiny star? I want some stars somewhere. The tatt on my left shoulder blade hurt like a beeotch. ;) But I'm glad I got it. :)
Tear drops and stars by or under the eye are gang related. Something about how many people they've killed. But for some people they just have it as a tattoo. I'm pretty sure Kat Von D hasn't killed that many people. Lol.
I've got 3 tattoos... and have got many more planned/booked... I love getting them and I'm gonna get a GC dedicated one at some point....
Benji's body art is amazing... I envy him.. If only I didn't have to work mainstream... lol..
