I think the reason he had gotten this tattoo is because he is trying to show a bit of emotions and how he is feeling in words. So he is labelling his self as how he feels inside. He is not really lost he is just talking in a way as if he had been bullied or done something wrong in his life so he is maybe trying to express what has happened in his life. And I think that it is a metaphorical word not  physical he is just trying to say that he is another black kid gone down the wrong path and he is saying he is a lost child being found.

 

he is also talking about because he was in a gang he is telling that he is lost and because he is saying another he is maybe talkingmetaphoric  about his frien

ds which have went down the wrong path and he is trying to be found.
