Tattoos from a Russian prison camp on a thieves’ family (a husband and wife.) The tulip and the rose symbolize that the 16th and the 18th anniversaries have been spent in places of imprisonment. The cats are a well-known symbol of thieves, and the number of barbs on the wire indicates the total term in sentence (in this case, 8 years.)
Top: the acronym stands for “Separation is worse than hell, when you’re not beside me.”
Bottom: the acronym stands for “Listen, it’s already impossible to stop loving you.”
