actually I'm sure that they aren't trying to pass off the MS13 as actual tattoos, but instead they are trying to caption the real tattoos below them. I think it's pretty flimsy though.

Marijuana = M
Smiley = S
Cross = 1?
Skull = 3?

Not sure that all really tracks. Besides that, if you look up actual MS13 gang members images, they generally have a lot more tattoos and they aren't subtle about what they are meant to represent. There would be an explicit MS somewhere. 13 or roman numerals XIIV, or the devil horns hand symbol.
