Tango Blast Break Down

THE TANGO NAME GAME
The four biggest Tango Blast groups – called the “Four Horsemen” – are in Houston, Dallas, Fort Worth and Austin.

Houstone – Their hometown is Houston. They use the Houston Astros star and the area code 713 as their main symbols.

D-Town – Their hometown is Dallas. They use the Dallas Cowboys star and the area code 214 as their main symbols.

Foritos, Foros or Funky Town – Their hometown is Fort Worth. They use various nicknames and the area code 817 in tattoos.

A-Town or Capirucha –Their hometown is Austin. Frequently seen tattooed symbols are ATX, the Capitol building and A-Town.

Elsewhere in Texas: Tango Blast groups also formed in West Texas and the Rio Grande Valley. Those two, along with the original four groups, became known as “Puro Tango Blast.”

There are also Tango groups in other parts of the state.

The look: Tango Blast tattoos typically depict the hometown sports team or its logo, a city skyline, area code numbers representing gang members’ hometowns or slang terms for their hometown. Sometimes they brand themselves with the tattoo “16-20-2″ to represent the letters in the alphabet for “PTB,” which stands for “Puro Tango Blast.”
