90s skinhead tattoos – facts

Hello our dear connoisseur (connoisseur) of tattoos. In our today’s article, I would like to recall such a youth subculture as “Skinheads from the 90s”, or rather about tattoos that were the most popular among them. So, let’s go!

A little about skinheads abroad

Skinheads are one of the youth subcultures that initially positioned themselves as an informal movement listening to a “special” direction in music, and which expressed ardent dissatisfaction with the layers of the bourgeoisie. Back then, skinheads did not pay attention to national signs at all, and mass fights were something from the realm of fantasy..

At that time, the appearance of skinheads did not particularly cause bewilderment among the ordinary strata of the population. They were simple jeans, high boots made of rough leather, and, as a rule, checkered shirts. Tattoos also had no meaning in principle. The skinhead who “owned” the tattoo could interpret its meaning in his own way.

The appearance of skinheads in Russia in the 90s

“Russian” skinheads looked a little different. Naturally short hair in contrast to the shaved heads of foreign skinheads. On their feet were army boots with a high top (ankle boots); instead of long coats, they wore short leather jackets. The “feature” of skinheads from Russia was “heavy” belts with often sharpened badges, as well as metal chains on jeans.

And of course skinhead tattoos

Mostly skinhead tattoos, these are images in the form of the shoes they were wearing. She could be found on any part of the body of those guys. The swastika was also a very common tattoo. It was mostly done on the chest.

Celtic cross tattoos were also “loved” by the skins. But tattoos in the form of portraits of fascists or Nazis were done much less often. Mostly it was “stuffed” by ardent fans of the movement of this subculture.

Two options for the location of the tattoo

If a skinhead made tattoos on open areas of the body: hands, fingers, neck, on the face or behind the ear, this meant that such a person was “his own” and that he was proud of his outlook on life..

The tattoos that were hidden under the clothes also “said” that its owner looks at life from the point of view of a skinhead, but he is not exactly what others think of him. Therefore, he hides them under his clothes.

These are these skinheads from the 90s with their tattoos. All this is already in the past, but the memory remains, it cannot be put anywhere.
