The Brands of Russian Prisons

Russian Prison Tattoos bq. It is not known when tattooing first became a common practice in Russian prisons and Stalinist Gulags.

More than simple decoration, the images symbolically proclaim the wearer's background and rank within the complex social system of the jailed.
