It is part of a strict dress code in order to show commitment to the gang.
Their famous black leather vest features the characteristic logo and the name on the back.
In the video the expert said: "The vests are treated as sacred. One of the simplest ways to identify a member is through their famous insignia."

After being accepted into their circle they are given a vest with the famous logo and their names.
The colour patterns can vary from charter to charter.

"Hells Angels are an exclusively brotherhood making it so that only men have the right to wear the iconic death head insignias on their back," the content creator added.
Although women are not members of the club, they can still play a significant role.
According to the organisation, women need to "understand" the unique lifestyle and everything it entails.
Being part of the club is a lifelong commitment and they are not allowed to retire.
According to their "code of honour", those who join become members for life.
If a member breaks any of their rules, he can face being expelled from the club.
The motors enthusiast added: "Violating the Hells Angels rules is something their members will surely regret as they're loyal and tight-knit bunch.
"The ramifications of betraying the brotherhood can be extreme.
"Being forcibly removed from membership is by far the most severe punishment.
"This results in complete isolation and excommunication with all other members."
