0114owl1867 Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 I saw what I think was an old ex skinhead on Saturday with tattoos everywhere, on his right hand he had 4 very obvious 'dots' on his knuckles, I mentioned this to one of my mates in the pub and he told me what they meant and that they were illegal, does anyone know if this is true ? What they meant I mean and are they illegal or was he pulling my plonker ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainChaos Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 I dont think they are illegal, just an identification mark of a ****. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bethwebb Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 No idea what they're supposed to mean, but surely it can't be illegal to have a tattoo?? Most tattoo artists won't do hands these days anyway... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hardline Pro Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 The 4 dots mean the same thing as another acronym often seen tatooed as "ACAB". That stands for "All Coppers Are ********", and the dots on the knuckles basically represent the same sentiment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jake Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 There's a bloke in sheffield with ACAB tattooed on his forehead - so cannot see anyone being too bothered about a few dots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boyfriday Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 There's a bloke in sheffield with ACAB tattooed on his forehead - so cannot see anyone being too bothered about a few dots. I wonder if he has problems with members of the public trying to flag him down on a Saturday night? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chem1st Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 I wonder if he has problems with members of the public trying to flag him down on a Saturday night? Suppose it depends on his hearing and if he is in the multicultural quarter of the city. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melthebell Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 no its not illegal as its just 4 dots..........if you had the actual words then i think you might be in a spot of bother Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's rather a nice chap BTW, and is the first to volunteer help anytime you need it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
