3 dots can stand for My Crazy Life/Mi Vida Loca. 4 dots has to do with the vida loca, but it stands for something different.

I can see that being used like some say MI VIDA MAS LOCA, but that's not what it stands for exactly. Of course when you put the . & the :: together it equals 14. If you notcie how the 13th letter of the alphabet is M, the first letter in the phrase MI VIDA LOCA is also M. The 3 dots have been around longer than the 13. You can find some Northerners with 3 dots on them, but they most likely were banging before the frontera. Nortenos are supposed to be schooled on these meanings, but even a lot them aren't!

My guess is that since surenos adopted the Mi Vida Loca tattoo because its three dots, Nortenos made a spinoff off of it and just thought, "Well lets get four dots for the 14."

Ehhh????

I seen some people get a dot on each finger, but that don't always gotta be gang related, I asked one of my boys what the dots on his fingers were for, he said he was tired of bitches so each dot was a meaning, 1) Find Em 2) Finger em 3) Fuck Em 4) Forget Em.
