Steve NeavlingThe FBI wants to begin using tattoo identification to track down criminals and learn more about them, MSNBC reports.
The plan is to add the data to the bureau’s Biometric Center of Excellence, which creates information such as fingerprints, irises and DNA.
The idea is to help identify perpetrators through body art and to understand more about tattoo affiliations, according to MSNBC.
Some tattoos, for example, show whether some people are members of a gang.
