If that is the case, then it is a clear signal to people who think it is fun to tattoo themselves with symbols which can be interpreted as gang symbols to perhaps think again, or have them removed. I cannot say I have much sympathy with people who tattoo themselves with potential gang tattoos and then complain about being harassed by the authorities.
