ABOUT THE DESIGN:
The Owl design was first tattooed around the early 40's and usually meant that u were a burglar or a safe-cracker. This particular owl was a nod to the old Tsarist days, before the Soviets gained power. The slogan "Got mit Uns" is German for "God with Us" and is a "grin" at the Soviet Administration which outlawed religion and God. This tattoo also represented freedom, and authority.

On the shoulder, a panzer cat. The cat has been a symbol in Russian criminal tattoo culture since the beginning, partly because the cat abides by it's own rules. This particular cat tattoo was also an anti-Soviet symbol and meant that the wearer disliked the current administration and the Soviet authorities as a whole.

On the chest is a hammer and sickle BOG tattoo. The letters "BOG" make up the Russian word for "GOD" but are also an acronym. They stand for "Budu Opiat' Grabit'" which means "I Will Rob Again".

Each hoodie also has the "MIR" logo on the front pocket. "MIR" is the Russian word for "peace", but in the criminal world it's an acronym that stands for "Menya Ispravit Rastrel" which translates roughly to "Execution will Reform Me".
