I'm now wondering how much of his othet ink was before the totemkoph or if just went to pro nazi places to get them done since no way they wouldn't have told him

Edit, looking more he has another front chest tattoo so not like they can even say well the others were just on the arms so the artists wouldn't have seen the skull

    I’m gonna leave that to people with more knowledge of the tattooing community than myself, but my question would be whether or not an artist (who isn’t a Nazi) would refuse to do work on somebody with an obvious Nazi tattoo if they recognized it?

    Feels like you wouldn’t want your work on the same canvas as somebody with that kind of work done on them.

    Not an expert but lots will do cover-ups for those types of tattoos (nazi, some gang and general hate symbols) for free.

    Also heard some have to learn what is and isn't off limits simply so don't accidentally give someone a gang symbol, but could be more of a regional thing on that.

    Yeah like I said, many will do coverups or removals for gang/hate symbols for free. Really no good excuse to not do that as soon as you find out, even if you didn’t know it was a hate symbol when you got it. I don’t even think it is implausible that he might not have known when he got it, but he’s certainly known for long enough
