A gang signal is a visual or verbal way gang members identify their affiliation. This can take many forms including slogans, tattoos, or hand signs. Many of these, especially slogans and hand signs, have become part of popular culture. Tattoos have long been associated with gang membership, and connote the toughness desired by gang members as well as the permanence of gang affiliation. The designs used are frequently symbolic and represent particular deeds, such as murder. Burn-marks may also be a way of recognition to a gang or a gang member.
