In Russian criminal subculture, Orthodox tattoos often represent significant events, status, or beliefs within the criminal world, particularly for those with connections to the "thieves-in-law" (vory v zakone) hierarchy. The specific meaning can vary depending on the design and placement of the tattoo, but generally, they are not associated with religious beliefs in the traditional sense. The number of cupolas (domes) on an Orthodox church tattoo can indicate the number of prison sentences a person has served. A traditional "thieves' cross" is often tattooed on the chest and signifies belonging to the criminal world, particularly among thieves. While not always directly tied to religious faith, images like angels or religious figures may be used to represent aspects of the criminal lifestyle or personal experiences, such as a "thief's family" or a "thief" in general.
