I think it was a combination of freaking some people out and some of the people who weren’t freaked out freaking him out a bit...

The specific anecdote about why he started making sure he didn't have them on was that people in a restaurant were treating him really weirdly and he eventually realized it was because his fake hand tattoos were visible.



You can get a pretty good idea of the meaning of them from the archive in this thread and some similar French archive that shows up on google :eng101:
the diamond symbolizes a prison sentence, crown on it isn't commented on as far as I saw. X's on the knuckles (you can see one on left hand pinky and one on right hand index) are separate prison sentences.
Cross as far as I can figure is another prison sentence that I don't see an exact meaning for, but would mean he's a thief if it wasn't white on black?
The wheel means he was forced in to crime by poverty or family circumstances.
The Northern Sunrise on his right hand is a promise he'll be free again. The northern part means he was in a Siberian prison.
