I think it's a cool design,and it doesn't look like the Nazi eagle,especially because there's no SS symbol on it.Although I would get it as is,with the gold and some red in the crown.The most important thing is do you have a good tattooer to do this for you.

I agree. It doesn't look Nazi-like. I'm not an expert, but I think that probably won't be a problem.

nice design i like it , and agree with the others i dont think it looks like the nazi eagle. where are you planning on getting the piece done?

That's a good design, I hope you do neck to waist!
Seriously though, a friend of mine who actually IS German got the German eagle on her shoulder and was surprised how many idiots actually DID ask (most jokingly, I'm sure) something like, "What're you, a Nazi?" It was her second tattoo and first larger piece... Unfortunately she ended up getting it covered, which was a bummer because I liked the tattoo and fuck everyone. There's a good chance it'll happen but sometimes you gotta have a thick skin. I was surprised anyone made that connection but there are a lot of dummies out there.
I say go for it, it's a great design and if you want it, get it.

you could always find an artist you like that does nice black and grey work and have them do a custom drawn version of that eagle, more dimension and depth to the bird might deter from the nazi comments your worried about
