NEW Can you match these UID tattoos to tattoos of the missing?

I think it is blessed virgin guadalupe. Worshiping "guadalupe" is common in Mexico. IIRC it is another name for Mary.

Thanks. That fits, as one of the individuals is Hispanic.
I was searching for possible meanings for BVG and found "Bless your soul" among them. This goes along with the spiritual line.
 
Yayy! That is an awesome Facebook page! I wonder if they have all of the ones I do or if I should start messaging them and see if I can be of any help. :D

Not sure if this is the best place to post this, but does anyone know what do the letters "BYS" and "B.V.G." stand for?

I have noticed two separate cases of unidentified persons with these letters tattooed on their arms and I would like to know what the two men have in common.

http://www.doenetwork.org/cases/2129umin.html

The photos of the tattoos are the same for both cases which cannot be right, but I checked another source and the discription of the tattoos is correct.

For what it's worth, I emailed one of the NamUs regional administrators listed for these cases a year ago to ask why the photographs were identical on NamUs.

She replied that she would try to get to the bottom of it. The images have been corrected, but the tattoo description remains cross-posted, although with different wording.

Doe Network lists NamUs as their source for Case 2129UMIN. My guess is that the confusion has somehow been propagated and the tattoo photographs actually belong to Case 622UMGA since the stickers in the images say "Fulton County ME."

I too believe the photos belong to Case 622UMGA, since the body doesn't appear to be of a Black male. The different wording had me thinking the descriptions are correct, though. I think you are right about the propagated confusion, I just wish we knew for sure.
 
Thank you so much! That looks very interesting and I can't wait to read it. :D
 
I've been working on cataloging tattoos of missing persons to cross reference with those of the unidentified and this really gives a better understanding of some of the tattoos I have been seeing over and over. The information on gang affiliated tattoos will definitely help when cataloging these tattoos as I can denote suspected gang affiliation, which may help explain some of their disappearances and give a starting place of where to look for UID's. Thanks for the post!

The walking hand giving the bird is a symbol for the Galloping Goose Motorcycle Club. Not sure if it's relevant, but it's worth looking into.

Here is her NamUs; she actually had ID
Victim was struck and killed by a car while crossing I-35 E in Lake Dallas, TX on June 15, 1983. Victim had identification with name Dewayne V. Honey. This id has never been confirmed and may be an alias.

Your 2nd NamUs link has been identified. Do you remember if it was the man in Georgia? Case File 622UMGA - he is not listed in NamUs
 
1973 Male (11-20) Florida: Right mid-arm has a horizontally-oriented scroll with indistinct letters "AM.....". At left mid-forearm, posteriorly, initials "T.K." Right thumb web has a 5-pointed star. On left thumb web a bluish round spot.
https://identifyus.org/en/cases/1343

The T.K. with the five pointed star is for the gang The Latin Kings. I used to counsel some of the Latin Kings in prison and that is what they have on them, sometimes they put it on their face under their eye and also on the hands.

Also especially if they are hispanic the number 13 signifies the MS-13 gang.
