These Are the Unusual Rules Every Hells Angels Member Must Obey

The golden rule of the Hells Angels is simple: don’t break the rules. Every member is aware of the code, and every infraction carries significant weight. Disregard the rulebook, and consequences follow swiftly and without compromise. The punishment depends on the offense, but make no mistake: leniency isn’t part of the culture.

Some who’ve crossed the line have had their Hells Angels tattoos forcibly removed. Others? Expelled entirely, cut off without a trace of brotherhood left. And once you’re out, you’re out for good—no contact, no second chances, and no path back. In this world, loyalty is everything, and betrayal comes at a high cost.
