On the east coast they rock 3 dots too? Ahh man what a bunch of copy cats. The Nortenos have four dots I assume for 14 or just because we have 3?

Bloods use the three dots for a dog's paw. I've heard of non-surenos having three dots because of the meaning. Those type of people just get the three dots on the right side of the body, while surenos usually get the one dot on the right side, and the three dots on the other.

Hispanic thugs + bangers use 1 single dot over 2 other dots (like a triangle), usually on the left hand between the thumb and index finger. It stands for Mi Vida Loca, which means my crazy life and although some Hispanic gangs may use it more than others it doesnt necessarily represent any gang affiliation. Some Bloods use three dots as well, however the Bloods use 2 dots over one single dot usually in the same place, representin a dogs paw. Typically a Blood will have the tat (or daily drawing) on the right hand and I believe it is more common out here (Midwest to Southeast regions) because the term Dog is a lot more common and strong in Blood vocab. Thats what the Peoples Nation use more than anything else. Either 'These is my peoplez' or 'These are my dawgs'.

I'm straight up raised in the BARRIO LIFE, going back to a time before the Norteño and Sureño war took the shape of today, and I have the "TRES PUNTOS" 3 dots on my right hand to denote "MI VIDA LOCA" My Crazy Life, it was customary to tattoo them on your right hand between your thumb and the trigger finger.
It "was" only 3 dots because it stood for 1 = MI, 2 = VIDA, 3 = LOCA but also because the 3 dots next to your thumb (being the main finger in your hand) composed the number 13 (your thumb being the 1, and the dots your 3), associated with MARIJUANA which is from Olden days the Hemp that is used to get "CRAZY".
It "was" also customary to only tattoo them when you joined a CLUB and later a BARRIO but "not before" then.

So you have it correct RU'DOG for the Pre-Sureños

"because of the meaning"
and
"right side of their body",

PROPS TO YOU.

I worked with a man wednesday .(didnt ask) HE had three dots . I new one explanation saying you get them when u are in Jail.(poeple themself) I met one of my friends in the subway long ago having one dot for beeing enjailed as a minor (15 days??)and that the amount of dots means how often u were inside.
In Jail u have not the big equipment so they only dot themselves. :?:
