For Hispanic and Asian gangs, three dots in a triangle, usually found on the skin between the thumb and forefinger, signify mi vida loca ("my crazy life"), and tôi không cần gì cả ("I need nothing") in Vietnamese.
In the southeast region of Turkey it is a symbol known as "Gormem, Duymam, Soylemem" meaning that "I hear nothing, I see nothing and I tell nothing".
In France, the dots stand for 'Mort Aux Vaches', in slang 'Death to cops'. It can also be interpreted as 'Fuck the World'.
For Hispanic gangs,the three dot represents a member gangbanging with each other as equals. As a Sureño (gang) symbol, the tattoo is worn between thumb and forefinger because it is believed to be harder to remove. The Sureño gang number is thirteen, using Arabic or Roman numerals, or a combination of both: 13, XIII, or X3. This signifies the 13th letter of the alphabet, the letter M, meaning "La Eme" or "The M"; the Mexican Mafia. Numerals are also incorporated into the tattoos, such as Tres Puntos ("Three dots") or X3, which is the representation for the number 13 within the Aztec numeral system.
