LIL WAYNES TEAR DROPS

So what do tear drop tattoos mean? They are a common prison tatt thats meaning changes from place to place. The most common reasons are that its owner has a lengthy prison stint, or has committed murder.

However, if it just the outline of a tear drop it has the meaning that someone close to the wearer has been murdered and they are out to get revenge for the death.

Rapper Lil Wayne has never given a reason for his tear drops. You could think murder straight away but rumours are that they are to remember fallen family members, one of them being his father, whom he wants no ties with? Last year Waynes mother asked him to remove the drop on his left eye. Was this the drop for his father? and why did mum want it gone?
