I have read that prison tatoos are only black...no color.

That certainly is no guarantee that all black tats come from prison.

bardo1...on what part of her body does she have said tatoos?

momof2, I actually wondered what a prison tatoo was. So thanks GoT for asking the question. I was too bashful. quot;>

Thanks!

Seriously, my last semester in college at USC, I interned for the South Carolina Department of Corrections and worked in a prison.

Never knew what prison tattoos were.

Wow, did you maybe see tattoos?

They really don't have any significance in terms of making judgements about the bearer though, so there's really no reason to be able to identify them! Or so I've been told.

Charles Manson has a prison tattoo of a swastika located on his forehead -- same place Harry Potter has his lightning bolt birthmark.
