Could This Be Deemed Offensive ?

[VenomX 25]

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.

Thanks guys.

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

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.
