Why You Never Do This to Hells Angels 😳
A Hells Angels member recounts an incident where a man was found with a fake Hells Angels back tattoo. After verifying with the Oakland chapter that the man was never a member, the club took matters into their own hands to forcibly remove the tattoo. The story illustrates the strict protocols the Hells Angels use to verify membership claims.
Summary
In this brief transcript, a Hells Angels member describes a specific incident involving a man who had his entire back tattooed with a Hells Angels patch without having earned membership. The man appeared in the club's territory and, when confronted, claimed to have been a member of the Oakland chapter in the past.
The speaker explains that there is an established protocol for members who leave the club: they are required to have an 'out date' tattooed on them, marking the month and year of their departure. This system prevents former members from falsely presenting themselves as active members. The man in question had no such out date, raising immediate suspicion.
To verify the man's claim, the club contacted the Oakland chapter and asked about him by name. Oakland had no record of him, confirming he was an impostor. As a result, the club took it upon themselves to forcibly remove the tattoo. The speaker describes how they waited for the man at a bar, dragged him out, placed him in a van, and restrained him — implying a violent and unauthorized removal of the tattoo.
