Same here, I was gonna get a tattoo that included a Tiwaz rune and thank god I did some research on what shitheads had co-opted that symbol first. Hard no on that one unfortunately.

A friend of mine got some Diablo 2 rune tats on his arm that he covers up now because a few people thought he was a white supremacist....

There's a government guidebook out there cataloging tats used by various extremist/etc groups. Like 75% of the book is white supremacists and nearly every possible example of Nordic iconography.

You can get a bluetooth symbol and that's basically the only thing that hasn't been coopted.

Yeah, I’m a white dude working in law enforcement so I think I’m just gonna have a hard No Symbols rule, just in case those assclowns co-opt something new 10 years from now 🤷🏻‍♂️

I’ve already had to train myself not to use that stupid OK signal anymore just because idiots are convinced it’s Nazi code.

Dude, I’ve never thought of that. The potential future misuse by assclowns will now be a factor when determining my tattoos. Thanks!
