My understanding is the court said not to send him back to El Salvador (he is from there) because he's an El Salvadorean gang member, and a rival gang would kill him there.

No, that is merely what the US government alleged. There's an allegation from a suspended cop that he is a gang member because he wore a Chicago Bulls hat, and that's all ICE is basing itself on to call him a gang member.
The court said not to send him back to El Salvador because he applied for asylum, and was granted asylum because he faced dangers in El Salvador. Not because he's a gang member, which are allegations that have never been proven.

So the gang tattoos he has were just an unfortunate coincidence? Give me a break

A simple search of “Abrego Garcia tattoos” will yield you dozens of refutations of this and no support aside from the White House propaganda machine.

A simple search yield dozens of propaganda pieces from the usual suspects (CNN, NYT, etc.). An image search, however, lead to actual photos like: https://x.com/USBornNRaised/status/1913325866764902738/photo...

Ah, yes, "Tired of Being Politically Correct (@USBornNRaised)" is certainly a very accurate source for information, and is definitely not the kind of person that would repost shitty edited pictures for political gain.
Journalists ? Judges ? What's that ? Real americans get their news from random propaganda accounts on X.

You are living under a rock if you think current journalists are trustworthy at all; nowadays, they don’t even bother to pretend.

No one's argued he doesn't have tattoos, that the tattoos are only/most explainable as gang related is the point being argued.
Your list of "usual suspects" cite actual experts and not random Twitter nonsense.
