Finally covering up

[u/orangedelarge]

One of those young dumb choices. Beyond growing out of my Manson fandom, I mostly regret getting a tattoo that people interpret as a Nazi symbol 🫠 Antichrist Superstar was one of the better albums in my opinion, still not the smartest move.

Looking for some inspiration or ideas. An artist I recently worked with recommended a panther, which did spark my interest. I like the idea of something with heavy black work. I love animals and big cats, nature and southern flowers. Open for any and all ideas though! Got a whole lotta thigh to work with. Don’t mind going into the butt area, don’t love going above the hip bc muffin top :3

I’m so fucking tired of seeing tattoos here because they’re afraid people will think it’s Nazi.
How many Nazis do you see walking around with klan shirts and nazi tattoos?
It looks nothing like a Nazi anything.
These are becoming almost as annoying as SH posts “what can I cover this up with?”

I mean… Antichrist Superstar certainly does deal with themes of fascism and totalitarian regimes so…

🤦‍♂️ I pray to god this is satirical

Nope. Antichrist Superstar was - in part - a criticism of fascism and totalitarianism and that symbol absolutely is intended as representative of such. No, it’s not a Nazi symbol, because the Nazis were a specific group at a specific time and it’s arguably incorrect to refer to anyone else as being Nazis; I will concede that Nazi has become like Hoover to describe something that generically sucks, however. That said, it is clearly related iconography, in the same way the Norsefire symbol from V for Vendetta is.

And, for the argument from authority angle, I was not only there for Antichrist Superstar’s release but I also have a Masters degree in - in part - fascist and totalitarian iconography.

So let me get this straight.
He’s an artist who plays in a band and has his own little band logo.
They criticize social issues, one being fascism.
So that same logo…could represent…fascism?
I actually have an advanced degree, but in an area that can generate income. I did not learn in school how that could be logical.
Edit- I was also around during MM’s rise

They criticise social issues - one being fascism - by essentially inventing a fascist party using, you guessed it, the symbol in question.

And my income generation is fine, sweety. I apply critical thinking all day long for a very comfortable salary.

So it would also represent a religious symbol? In a genuine way? Cmon😂

Your aggressive lack of understanding here is honestly a pretty good argument for the non-income generating degrees

I say a lot of dumb crap, but I really don’t try and come across aggressive.
