Any good resources for identifying fascist tattoos? (hexbear.net)

The last couple months, I've seen an increase in people with various neonazi, white supremacist, and fash tattoos - just picked up some info for identifying them over the years hanging out in lefty spaces.

My wife wanted to learn some of the more common ones so she can identify fash when I'm not around, and I want to refresh my memory, so we can be more cautious around potentially-dangerous fash.

Anyone know of good resources for identifying them?

We all know that the Apartheid Defense League is a clownshow but https://www.adl.org/resources/hate-symbols/search is not a bad resource

Whao, ACAB started with skinheads?! Hopefully these days they're pissed about it being "stolen" by folks trying to fight against fascism.

Skinheads started off as anti-fascist. Fascists as usual appropriated the cultural signifiers and phrases of an existing movement.

Funny thing, used to go to school with a person who dressed like the standard skinhead, but they were the person who introduced me to my first pro-communist thought so, apparentely there's still some good ones.
