Here's a Reddit comment in r/TheBulwark.

Ok im going to keep saying it.

It isn’t a Nazi tattoo. It's a skull tattoo.

Its missing the key feature of the SS skull, which are the cracks in the skull. It's a skull tattoo that is entirely too close to a Totenkopf.

I'd also like to say, that if everyone starts pretending that Totenkopf was just a thing we all knew about like Swastikas, I'm going to lose it. This is a C tier Nazi emblem. You absolutely wouldn't look twice at it in 99% of real-world situations.

The Bulwark was created during Trump's first term and Bill Kristol was a co-founder. It's a site for "moderate" GOP and dipshit "orange man bad!" liberals. The body text of the post has stuff.

If the crossbones were the cartoony ones with the ends looking like ballsacks, I can see the argument that it’s not a Nazi tattoo. But the fact the crossbones are literally fucking stacked on top of each other with the ends connected. Identical to the totenkopf.

I’m unable to find any other army or organization that has the crossbones touching each other like that other than Nazis and Nazi sympathizers.

Also notice how he got a new tattoo to cover it up, while still pleading ignorance, without showing an HD close up of what it looks like first.

It’s one thing to make “edgy mistakes” but dog you’ve had 20 years to get that shit fixed and chose not to until now lol. Insulting my god damn intelligence
