I've got no problem with tattoos generally, but certain specific tattoos are red flags.
Literally this.
Thankfully no 88's. I'm not familiar with the significance of 13, is it related to 1312? I just have the 1312 on the inside brim of a hat.
See my comment below /above for a brief explanation. I thought people might not know what this person was referring to.
Gang members everywhere. Myself included.
Some history of the modern lucky 13 tattoo tradition.
TRIGGER WARNING FOR AMERICAN READERS: The popularity of the #13 in modern tattoo culture is the work of a famous American tattoo artist.
Americans are wild. The creator of the modern ritual of the lucky Friday the 13th tattoo which is based on old sailing tattoo tradition is Oliver Peck, an American tattoo artist who has made this very popular within tattoo culture in the last several decades especially in North America but also around the globe. Every Friday the 13th he tattoos $13 #13 tattoos for 24 hours along with all the artists in his studio. This has caught on throughout the world and now many tattooists also do the same. Many enthusiasts have at least one lucky 13 tattoo amongst their collections. It is in reference to taking back the bad luck associated with Friday the 13th.
Oliver Peck lives and works in DALLAS, TEXAS the heart of the bullshit movement and is even somewhat of a rich celebrity in his own right. He gets 1200 people to his shop regularly on Friday the 13th events and people travel from all over the world to get his art on them. He had a tv show for some time as well. He is also known to have been caught up in some racially motivated hate controversy like blackface costumes and such which led to his firing from said tv show. He says he is ashamed for that time in his life and is not that person but he did do it multiple times once with an "N" on his chest as part of his "costume". He himself has a world record for tattooing the most 13's in 24 hours. He also used to hold the record for the most #13 tattoos on one individual but I'm not sure if that still stands.
No wonder your problems are so large. Very few of you even have any idea what you are talking about but you wildly profile people who like a kind of art. It's weird and fucked up and led to the downfall of your society but I bet you'll fight me about it. Or attack me for something I've said.
That last paragraph makes you sound like a sanctimonious asshole. Most of the things you say do, but that did as well.
Yes cause the sanctimonious asshole gets some real nice doozies from muricans happy to live under a dictator right now. Exactly like you're doing.
Perhaps you didn't read the rest of the smug sanctimonious assholes from murica saying that everyone and anyone with tattoos basically deserves this treatment because they've made "bad decisions" so they are "bad people".
Either way....I'll take sanctimonious over slave to a regime any day.
Have a great day. Thanks for the comment.
FWIW I’m specifically referring to WS shit like swastikas, totenkopfs, 1488’s, etc.
I get ya. All good. I wanted folks to know. Not one attack after I posted though. I am surprised everyone could digest this and not lose their shit. Maybe they didn't read it.
I put this specifically because 13's are extremely popular within a portion of the population and get lumped into MS-13 tattoos but have completely different histories.
