What does it mean to shed tattoo tears?

Question

i've heard this said a back and forth by 2pac on his songs.

Answer 1

This is gang terminology. People who have teardrops tattooed on their face are branded as murderers. It is like a 6-6-6. It may also be used to signify the loss of a loved one to gang rivalry. Don't listen to that c**p.

Answer 2

It's when you get a tattoo that looks like you're crying ( a tear coming from the corner of your eye) I heard it means you killed a person

Answer 3

Yeah

if you have a tear tattooed by your eye, it means you've committed a murder.  

Answer 4

Death or U killed someone.

Comin from 2pac tho it kud have a lil deeper meaning. Maybe tears that will never go away. U are scared by the tears and will always remember that pain. IDK  2pac is a lyrical mastermnd

Answer 5

More or less it would mean insincere tears because they are a form of make up - albeit permanent.

Kind of like the term 'Crocodile tears'.

Hope this is enlightening.
