    Where I come from those tattoos are called ‘placas’ and are generally a sign of affiliation with a person’s barrio or neighborhood. Getting a placa can be part of a comming-of-age ritual, or part of being accepted into the gang. But just having a placa does not necessarily mean the person is a gang member. Many people get involved in gangs as kids and then get out later on.
