This probably doesn't have any significance, but it's just a thought.

You know when someone dies a friend/relative gets a tear drop tattooed, it isn't always done.

Then I thought to myself, in a way, when someone becomes a heartless they technically die. So maybe the tattoos represent the "death" of two people
Possibly himself and Saix

Well it seems like Axel and Saix (or Lea and Isa) maybe had some sort of childhood that was probably important?
They musta been good friends during BBS. But the tattoos, I don't think thats why he has em, and for that I don't know why he has them.

Maybe just character design?

Yeah, I'm curious as to where they come from and what they mean. Maybe they'll be mentioned in BbS? Probably not though, seeing as Axel's tattoos don't exactly seem like a vital part of the storyline.

Why not? I said he was based on Reno, not that he looks exactly like him. Nomura himself said Axel's character design is similar to Reno's. Hence, the same hair colour and both have tattoos. I'm not saying that the tears having meaning isn't possible.

None of the pictures have him with tattoos. It's that simple

Give me some evidence of these tattoos

A teardrop tattoo is when you kill someone in jail. I'm pretty sure.
yes but teardrop tattoos can mean many things,
1) You murdered someone in general
2) You murdered someone in prison
3) A loved one has been murdered
4) A loved one has commited suicide
5) An empty tear represents that the bearer has unsuccesfully tried to avenge the murder of a loved one.
6) Half filled means that they have avenged the murder of a loved one.

These are all the meanings i know of and they are usually associated with gangs

Lil Wayne has them too. Maybe what ever he did can answer the question as t why Axel has them, although to be honest maybe he has them just for the look and nothing else :35:
