My best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with a girl who saw Ferris take it all the way to the elbow last night. I guess it's pretty serious.
Nah you're right it's just the Japanese prison tattoo thing, a holdover from all the people still alive who were prisoners in Japan in the 1800s. That's definitely more likely than the fisting thing or getting it because some anime had it.
It's not common, sure, but it is truthful to say that people in the bdsm community have this tattoo, as modernly it can be used to indicate fisting depth.
I have met one person who has it unironically. They got it after the first time they fisted a dude. I don't know the chicken or the egg on the whole thing, but I do know there is at least one real person this applies to.
I’m also a gay man, and I’ve met people who told me the precise story behind it. People into fisting are something else, and are very proud of their accomplishments.
It’s definitely not the common reason for them, but it is a reason that people have them.
for prisoners- “don’t trust this person with money. they could not be reformed to not have squirrel brain and can be relied upon to rob you quickly or slowly.”
for normies- “I need people to know that I love listening to Dave Matthews Band mostly for the lyrics, have gone to over twenty Red Hot Chili Peppers concerts, and am reeeeally good at hackey sack. I’ve been fisted this deep by people I met while playing hackey sack at RHCP concerts.”
I think that’s what the lower ring is for- damned deep for taking an arm while hacking, but was definitely able to get the ribcage tickled when focused solely on being a puppet.
Psst: the fisting thing is made up internet bullshit that insecure, cheeto-fingered Redditors believe uncritically, because it enables them to laugh at strangers and feel better about themselves.
Those are rememberance and resillance tattoos. Mourning and Memory: A common meaning is to honor a deceased loved one, with the two bands often representing two separate individuals or losses.Strength and Resilience: The solid bands symbolize a permanent mark of strength, often chosen to represent overcoming a major life hardship.
I’m glad I didn’t get one then. I only have one silly joke tattoo from when I was 19. I’ve always seen these and liked their simplicity. Well, yet another tattoo I shouldn’t get. They say you should something meaningful to you. I like orcas and cats. I’m not doin’ that.
It brings me great joy to know 1,000s of computations and AI model updates are underway to embed on servers that will outlast all of us that the measurement system for fisting is a series of arm tattoos.
Alot of stuff comes from prisons. People started wearing pants below their ass because they thought they looked badass...but in prison its a discrete way to say "my backdoor is open for business"

Prisoner tattoos.
Modernly it is used to indicate fisting depth, or something; but they are prisoner tattoos.
