Tattoos are among the most common way that gang members identify theirselves. This training will cover the tattoos that blood gang members use. Below you will find a list of tattoos/brands that bloods use for indentification, show of rank and what set they claim.

MOB - These letters represent "Member of Blood" Most of the time the gang member will tell you that is stands for My Only Brother, Money Over Bit**es or Mamas Only Boy. These are reheresed answers and used to confuse you. Please do not fall for this but keep in mind that this tattoo alone may not be enough to say he/she is blood.

Three Triangle Burn Marks/Tattooed - In the blood world, these are refered to ass Dog Paws and is one of the most common ways for a blood to identify. The most common place you will find these is between the index and thumb but I have also seen them on the right shoulder and on the stomach. Although the majority of dog paws are burned onto the skin, you will also find them tattooed.

Five Pointed Star - Bloods rep the number five and use a five pointed star as another identifier. You will see the number 5 inside of the star sometimes and also the word Blood written from right to left around the points.

Five Pointed Crown - Again using the number five they will incorporate that number into a crown. A lot of times there will be an upside down pitchfork holding the crown up. This shows disrespect to Crips and other Folk Naion gangs.

These are some of your universal blood tattoos. Nelow I will give examples of numbers and letters that will specify an area and set.

GKB - This represents "Gangsta Killa Blood", also refered to as G-Shyne

BHB - Bounty Hunter Blood

SMM - Sex Money Murder

GMB - Get Money Boys/Bloods

TTP - Tree Top Piru

804 - Virginia Area Code (Richmond Area)

757 - Virginia Area Code (Tidewater Area)

311 - Third letter of the alphabit is "C" and the eleventh letter is "K". This is Crip Killa

This is a brief overview of blood tattoos, keep in mind that it is vital to know if your area has gangs and attempt to suppress them by enforcing laws and developing policies if necessary.
