    Wait what makes it a Nazi tattoo? Are all skulls potentially Nazi tattoos? It just looks like a regular (somewhat cartoonish) skull and bones

    Edit: Oh seems like part of a specific SS symbol

      I mean, after the swastika, SS logo and iron cross, it’s like the fourth most famous Nazi symbol

        There’s a pretty wide gap between spots three and four, bud. Even before considering that you forgot about the arm bands and the mustache.

        Also skulls are the most widely used symbols for all sorts of things throughout history and modern pop culture

            That’s what I said lmao. And that it’s only part of the very specific design half the comment section’s never seen before. Some guy even tattooed it on himself without knowing it, buddy

      That somewhat cartoonish skull-and-crossbones is specifically the symbol worn by, among some others, the nazis who operated the extermination camps.
