A gang of pimps in Poland had their prostitutes tattooed to mark them as their property.

One of the women found during a raid on the gang's brothel in Gdansk, north-east Poland, had 'faithful b**** of Leszek' tattooed down the side of her torso.

The same woman also had 'I love my Lord and Master, property of Leszek' inked down the length of her leg. A second prostitute had the words to Bryan Adams' Please Forgive Me across her back in gothic handwriting, with the name of her 'owners' beneath.

According to police not all the eight women discovered in the brothel had been tattooed; those that had been were apparently selected to reward them for their loyalty.

Three brothers - Leszek Baranowski, 26, Pawel, 34, and Olek, 31 - were arrested along with 21 other men alleged to have run more than 70 girls, making over £1million off them over four years.

Most of the women were forced into working as prostitutes, police said, although some of the women apparently did it voluntarily.

Pimps in the U.S. have long tattooed the prostitutes who work for them to indicate their 'ownership'. They can take the form of the pimp's initials, name or even his likeness, more or less obviously placed on her body.

The Polish gang told officers all their tattooed girls had willingly worked for them and volunteered to have the tattoo as a 'sign of loyalty'.

Prosecutor spokesman Mariusz Marciniak confirmed: 'Many of the women they were using were forced into the business but at the moment we don't have any evidence that those that were tattooed were forced to undergo the procedure under duress.'

He added that it seemed more likely they were a reward for 'loyalty' and 'good service'.
