Could This Be Deemed Offensive ?

Thinking of ideas for a smallish tattoo and was considering the armani logo, but after inspection it looks very similar to a fascist regime back in the 1900s.

 

I think i'll get something which couldn't be offensive, and maybe matching tattoos with my sister 🙂 thanks

 

By the way, the pic i posted isn't mine, its off google

Yep thats what I meant dude, i'd hate to cause offence.

Shame they adopted the logo for their regime, now I'll have to find something else

Yeah, no point in risking.

I've got a NYHC tattoo in Fraktur. Needless to say that doesn't always go over well....

There is nothing so innocuous that it can't be deemed offensive by someone.

I have this,I call it a surfer cross,it is representative of the surfing/skateboarding lifestyle I grew up in during the 60's in southern California.

if it's offensive to someone then oh well,as @Hogrider  said,there will always be somebody offended by something.

nobody has ever commented on it in a negative way,

actually a few people have thought it was a religious cross.

Indeed, @Dan. That symbol was used a lot in the car culture back then, too.

There are many symbols that originally meant one thing and have been bastardized over the years. The iron cross was a German military medal going back to Napoleon's time, may even have a history before that. The Nazis, white supremacists and outlaw bikers have ruined since then. I remember going to a car show with my older brother and sister in law when I was probably 6 or 7. I bought a small iron cross and thought it was the coolest thing ever.

Yeah the iron cross is cool, when I saw it years back I instantly thought fascism
