Apparently this is the mage. Prior to today, if you put this in front of me along with several other skull designs and asked me to identify the Nazi one i would have been unable to.
Sure, but this guy is a former Marine and a history buff. You're telling ne you can have a symbol on your chest for 20 years and not once go looking to see if it means anything?
Not to mention his own campaign manager is saying he called it a totemkomf.
Yeah that's a fair question. Personally I'd want to know, although I'd never get any tattoo to begin with.
Fair enough. Although this is objectively a pretty well known nazi symbol, I would not expect anyone to necessarily know what it is. But if you were going to get it tattooed, I would expect - of a person with a little bit of a brain who is asking for people's vote no less - to do some basic research. Also let's not forget that it being a nazi symbol means that most tattoo artists will not do this, so being in the company of someone who did also speaks volumes.
Looks more like a necro than a mage tbh
