Typically, biker tattoos center around a specific type of bike. Someone who rides Harley Davidson or chopper-style bikes is not likely to get a tattoo of a Japanese crotch-rocket motorcycle. Biker tattoos might also include a reference to a specific motorcycle club. These clubs are not gangs, necessarily, but rather they are groups of individuals who share a common interest and organize themselves as such. Many times these clubs are registered with national motorcycle organizations and membership is based upon specific criteria and beliefs. Sometimes, though, motorcycle clubs are known as outlaw clubs, and are not registered with any higher authority. These clubs may or may not be involved in gang or illegal activity. It is important to note that within the world of bikers, outlaw is not synonymous with criminal. Rather, the term outlaw is reserved for clubs that are not interested in being affiliated or policed by those national organizations and prefer to operate independently and under their own authority.
