A.C.A.B.

The A.C.A.B. tattoo stands for “All Cops Are Bastards” and expresses opposition to police brutality and authoritarian power structures. Originating from punk and skinhead subcultures, it often symbolizes rebellion and independence. It’s typically inked in a simple, black style, for example, on the knuckles. While some may have deep ideological meaning, others may simply see it as a provocative symbol.
