VenomX 25 Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 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  Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

VenomX 25 Posted August 12, 2019 Author Share Posted August 12, 2019 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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottyg 458 Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 Yeah, no point in risking. I've got a NYHC tattoo in Fraktur. Needless to say that doesn't always go over well.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hogrider 1,887 Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 There is nothing so innocuous that it can't be deemed offensive by someone. Dan, scottyg and SStu 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan 2,524 Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 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.

SStu 2,418 Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 Indeed, @Dan. That symbol was used a lot in the car culture back then, too. scottyg and Dan 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAC1961 551 Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 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.

VenomX 25 Posted August 21, 2019 Author Share Posted August 21, 2019 Thanks guys. Yeah the iron cross is cool, when I saw it years back I instantly thought fascism Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperStars Tattoo Studio 0 Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 if your going for the armani symbol, just write armani under it lol  its all about you personally, the natzi symbol was stolen the natzi regime for use but here in bali, its inverted and it actually means peace. its always a personal opinion when it comes to ink.    Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
