I'm pretty sure all, if not most of his tatoos are explained in his Wikipedia entry, I would've looked and told you but I'm out the door.[/QUOTE]
Right arm: Cathedral with five domes: symbolizes five years of imprisonment.
Shoulders: Stars: “symbolize person’s honor and dignity, they mean that one lives according to his traditions and principles”.
Right shoulder: cobweb: Aleksander did not explain it’s meaning other than say that contrary to what has been suggested by some, it does not have anything to do with mafia.
Left shoulder: Writing in Russian
Left forearm: Half cat’s head, half skull: “Homo homini lupus est”, man is a wolf to his fellow-man.
Back: Grim Reaper holding a baby: according to Aleksander it’s a tattoo of Holy Mother, and that it means “absolutely nothing”, he just liked the design.
Back: "Gott Mit Uns", meaning “God is with us” in German: for Aleksander, it’s a symbol of revival. This tattoo caused a significant controversy, since this slogan was written on belt buckles of Nazi Germany soldiers.
Knees: Stars: symbolize that the owner will never be brought to his knees.
Pirate tattoo: stands for article 167 of Russian Criminal Code: “armed robbery”.
“Luck favors the brave” in German: self-explanatory.
