Summary

Description

A photo of a Latin Kings member displaying several stereotypical tattoos, from the book "Gangs: Awareness - Prevention - Intervention" by Will County state's attorney James W. Glasgow. The document says that it was "developed under a grant from the U.S. Departments of Health and Human Services, Justice and Education", which under the new rules should require public access; in any case it is being distributed free to schools and parents under federal funding.[1] The photo itself might be a Fair Use of the tattooist's work, if this rises to the level of artistic content meriting copyright protection - but the government apparently didn't worry about the copyright, so I'm not sure we should either. But at least for now I've put it here on Wikipedia due to this lingering doubt. Note that due to its being featured in a well known gang guide it is notable enough to stand a Fair Use rationale, if required.

The "LK"/"Latin Kings" "ALKN" (Almighty Latin Kings Nation) and 3 point/5 point crown motifs are all plainly visible.
