Tattoos of mixed martial arts fighter Alexander Emelianenko - can we decipher?

Mixed martial arts fighter Alexander Emelianenko is the most tattooed Russian athlete. Alexander's brother is the world-famous fighter Fedor Emelianenko, the pride of Russian sports. His body is a small art gallery. And a very peculiar one. With his appearance, Alexander bewilders the entire criminal world.





"Is he a thief in law, a thief in law, an authoritative vagabond? And then why don't we know anything about him?" - "authoritative people" make inquiries about the fighter.
The fact is that for professional criminals, tattoos are like an identity card. By them, those who know can determine the entire "glorious path" of a person. So on Emelianenko's body, along with a couple of fashionable salon tattoos, there are many criminal ones. And very eloquent ones at that. It seems that the athlete made several trips to the zone. However, Alexander Emelianenko refutes assumptions about his criminal past. He says that he does not know what his tattoos mean. And he did them with only one intention - to make them more terrible and to have a frightening effect on his opponents. A strange argument. After all, Alexander's opponents are mostly foreigners, they do not understand Russian thieves' symbols. It seems that the fighter is not saying something.

I will try to decipher the secret meaning of tattoos on the body of Alexander Emelianenko

Stars and cobwebs

The first thing that immediately catches the eye is the characteristic thieves' stars. And they are not applied in an amateurish way, but in the "right places". There are four stars on Emelianenko's body - two under the knees and two just below the shoulders. The former in the language of thieves mean "I cannot be brought to my knees". The second ones are also tattooed according to all the thieves' rules - not on the shoulders, but a little lower. (Now Alexander has these tattoos broken by some clouds, he hid it) Because the stars on his shoulders are already shoulder straps. And not a single self-respecting urka will stab the "cop symbol" in this place. But instead of shoulder straps, the athlete has another clear symbol on his shoulders - a thieves' web, symbolizing the prison bars.
"Go for the truth, rub yourself to the ass" - the inscriptions on the soles of the feet are a typical criminal gadget. It is surprising that this particular phrase appeared on the feet of Alexander Emelianenko, and, for example, not another, also quite common one - "step on the cop's throat".

Church domes

Everything is simple here. The number of domes indicates the number of convictions, and the number of windows in the church indicates the term. According to the tattoo, Emelianenko was convicted twice - for three years and a year. I wonder why? The answer to this question can be given by other tattoos.

Pirate

A tattoo is very common in not so remote places, informing that its owner fiercely hates the prison activists and has a tendency to hooliganism and robbery.

Dagger

It is also a symbol that denotes a robber. And in addition, he expresses hostility towards cops, prosecutors and judges.

Grave cross

It must be applied not on its own, but exactly as in Alexander Emelianenko's case – as part of an "artistic composition". It means that someone close to the prisoner died while serving his sentence. They do not know who and when passed away from Alexander. I 'm sorry.

Executioner

Again, according to the Zonov canons, he is depicted exactly as in Alexander Emelianenko's - always with an axe and a hood thrown over his head. With this drawing, the athlete informs knowledgeable people that he is thirsty for revenge. And in addition, he admits that he sacredly honors the thieves' law.

«Gott mit uns»

A common body saying in the thieves' world. Translated from German - "God is with us". This phrase was the motto of the SS. Criminals stab it along with the swastika, thereby indicating their hatred of the state.

"Give me a return ticket in my youth, I paid in full for the trip" on trapezes

A very popular aphorism in juvenile colonies.

Child in the crown

Another sign indicating that the owner of such a tattoo was in an educational labor colony for minors.

If you do not know about the sports merits of Alexander Emelianenko, but just look at the tattoos on his body, I would conclude that this man has two convictions. Most likely, for hooliganism and robbery. And in his early youth. It is "on a minor" that the romance of thieves is most strongly felt. It is there that the contingent most often makes prison tattoos for themselves. True, later, having been freed and grown up, many regret these arts - you can't go to the beach, you can't undress. And you'll get tired of bringing them together. Therefore, most people try to interrupt Zon's tattoos with some other ones - after all, tattoos are in fashion now. There are a couple of such "peaceful" patterns on the body of Alexander Emelianenko. In general, the tattoos on his body are typically criminal. I will never believe that this man does not understand their meaning.

But he is a brilliant fighter.
