It was more than just a tattoo. It was an identification number so that the Nazi's could tell who was who. That number replaced their names. On each persons arms they tattooed a letter telling what religion they were. (J for Jew, G for Gypsy, etc) Then there would be different numbers after that which would stand for other things.
