Tattoo artist Yurets Udalets on the air of the show “There is a theme!” on “” expressed the opinion that the basketball player Britney Greiner sentenced in Russia for 9 years, you should not be afraid of some kind of hostility in prison because of tattoos.
On August 4, American basketball player Brittney Griner was sentenced by the Khimki City Court to 9 years in a penal colony and a fine of 1 million rubles in a drug trafficking case. Greiner was arrested in February on suspicion of trying to smuggle hash oil through Sheremetyevo airport.
Greiner, 31, has several tattoos on his body, including a tattoo on his left arm that took nine hours to complete.
– Now I speak with people who were previously in the zones, in various camps and other places of deprivation of liberty, and with acquaintances of those who are there now, according to the information I have, now almost no one in the areas request tattoos.
Therefore, if there are conflict situations on this basis, then, most likely, the girl will just, say, some kind of settling inside (a kind of fratricidal showdown), or some other thing. It is, in fact, now that they do not ask. Also, her tattoos show that they are not made in a handmade way, as it is done in the zones. That is, these tattoos have absolutely nothing to do with the criminal world.
And about the stars that she has, for example, on her collarbones, you can also say. Those stars that the girl has on her body are starfish. Accordingly, in Russia the so-called “negatives” were made by slightly different stars.
– She has a five pointer. Thieves stars are completely different. There are more corners, right?
– Yes exactly. Eight-pointed stars are usually worn on “negatives”. They do them on the collarbones and on the knees, which symbolizes “I will not kneel before the law”. Thieves’ stars are worn by more, shall we say, respectable people.
She has a crown tattoo. What does it mean? Can they ask?
– As for crowns, these tattoos were mostly worn in male colonies. They symbolized passive homosexuality. Accordingly, different crowns with different designs signify different degrees of this homosexuality, the master said on .
Earlier, US media reported, citing a source in US President Joe Biden’s administration, that he supported plans to swap Russian Viktor Bout, who is serving a prison sentence in the US, for American citizens Greiner and Paul Whelan, who was sentenced in Russia to 16 years in prison for espionage.
Greiner has been playing for UMMC Yekaterinburg since 2015, she won the Olympics twice as part of the USA team (2016, 2020).
