Occasionally, people confuse biker tattoo designs with prison or gang tattoos. While there are biker gangs and some bikers might end up in prison, the tattoo genres are fairly distinct. For the most part, prison and gang tattoos are often self-done or amateur tattoos that signify a person's presence or initiation into a gang, along with their gang “accomplishments.” biker tattoo designs, on the other hand, are any tattoos that involve a love of motorcycles, the open road, and freedom. They usually involve traditional biker symbols, like flames or skeletons, and have a certain aura of rebelliousness. Those who have the biker tattoo designs, however, might be family-oriented individuals with conventional, normal jobs, and only enjoy biking and biker culture as a hobby or recreational activity. Bikers are no longer necessarily excluded from mainstream society and biker tattoo designs do not symbolize gang involvement or deviant behavior.
