... tattoos. My ex-marine dad had a forearm full of regrettable tatoos. Including several women's names not my mom.

I still have the swastika I carved on my hand at eight or nine years old. Hard to see these days, but if I point it out you'd see it clear as day. Maybe I should be kicked off DU? I grew up in neighborhoods in Cleveland and Akron that were largely displaced persons from eastern Europe. I know exactly how evil Nazis were.

Going after someone with a tattoo that's been hidden out of understanding what a significant evil it is and fixed it, is short sighted.

I bet TACO and Stephen Miller don't have a tattoo between them.
