Ireally want to get a tattoo, and I have some ideas, but I just want to avoid accidentally getting a bad one. By bad, I mean, neo-n*zi. I know what the common Neo Nazi symbols are, obviously the Swastika, and the Deaths Head, SS the 88s and HHs, and of course the crow foot rune, and I guess the artists probably know more. I just don't want to walk into a parlor and accidentally ask for one of the more obscure ones and have the artist be judging me and throwing me out. F!S, what are the tats I need to avoid? Someone help me, or I'll just end up with a Kermit the Frog tattoo. Not that I don't also want a Kermit tattoo, but I want something more traditional too.

Do you have design you want in mind? I think you can always look it up it's meaning

I was thinking an inside of my forearm arrow, pointing down towards my palm, with a wood shaft, fletching and a stone tip to it, and maybe a feather or a flame effect along the shaft. And the words "Aim True" to try and keep me on track.

Trad style, so thick line, limited color palette, no fine line work, and limited photorealism.

That sounds like a really common and innocent type of design, I don't think anyone would assume any kind of neonazi associations. I think you should talk to your artist about this and get their take on your concerns. In general though if I see someone with one tattoo of a symbol that SOMETIMES has neonazi associations, it doesn't freak me out on sight, though I might be a little standoffish until I get to know the person a bit more. Usually neonazis make their beliefs pretty clear in ways other than a subtle tattoo and aren't the type to keep it hidden if they're open enough to get it inked.

There is a fishing youtuber that has either a peace symbol or a crows foot rune on the inside of his wrist, and I don't know which. He does often put either country songs about middle Americana or the odd bible quote in his vids, which weird me out, but displays of patriotism and religiosity are not out of character for Americans of all stripes. If he was from my nation and slipping in nationalist sentiment and explicitly religious material out of chapel, then it would be cause for concern, but for Americans that can just be harmless normal.

There's always the heart with someone you love's name in it? Crossed daggers with roses? Anchors and swallows? Animals you think are cute/badass? Plants you think are pretty or cool? Stars, planets, comets, constellations? Fictional characters you love? Pet portraits? Sports paraphernalia or team logos? Quotes you find inspirational? Look up (your hobby) tattoo designs?

If there are multiple tattoo parlors you can check out, walk in and flip through their portfolios/check out the art on the walls/the ink on the tattoo artists themselves?

If you don't see any obvious nazi/neo nazi bullshit, that's a good sign. If you see, idk, someone sporting "nazi punks fuck off," you can probably just ask the tattoo artists for ideas and what kind of work they're best at and love to do, and think it over for a while.

Good luck, I hope you find a great studio, awesome artists, and get tattoos you love.

Definitely avoid sports teams logos. Especially soccer clubs. Instant tattoo redflag if you see one of those. Especially if it is Chelsea or Millwall.

What does "traditional" mean, though? That's so broad a category, depending on culture, region, etc. It seems to me that you could narrow it down a lot more, then just Google to see if a [insert design here] is a possible Nazi/white supremacist symbol and eliminate any dodgy ones that way.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_traditional

I'm told it is also called a "Sailor Jerry" style of tattooing.

Why did you censor nazi just the once? I mean, you don't need to censor at all but why just the once?

Cause I done goofed.

Fair enough. For some reason I thought there was method to the madness!

Nope, just madness in the method.

For any Norse symbols, you may want to look into it before as well because that's another area neonazis have appropriated for themselves.

And Celtic too. It is such a moving target.

Yeah, I've seen classic triskele designs getting used as stand-ins for swastikas.

I had wanted a Celtic Ring/Cross motif at one point, because I have Scottish heritage and wanted to honor that, but apparently the Neo Numbskulls have stolen that in a big way. It is goddamn horrible.

I kinda wanted a Cernunnos themed tattoo at one point too, but I'm scared they might have appropriated that too. I know they are taking over deer skull and antler designs too at the moment. So, that is a new one to be careful of, if you are getting one of those. It might not be a safe one for much longer.

I hadn't realized that they'd appropriated an Excalibur in the Rock image, or Crossed Hammers theme, as well. So be careful with that too.

I thought crossed hammers had been appropriated a long while back by idiots who missed the point of the big scene in "Pink Floyd's The Wall".

I like carpentry and thought it looked cool. I didn't know, okay.

As I don't know you I was not thinking of you as a target but rather the failed abortions known as the Hammerskins: https://www.adl.org/resources/hate-symbol/hammerskins

Neo-nazis ruin everything.

That could be a good tattoo.
