Or is this example a sort of “one off?”

Curious if this is a bit of a trend with certain maga types Or if it’s exceedingly rare and almost zero trump supporters have any sort of trump tattoo, never mind one as “racey,” (racist) as this one.

To answer your question. No, I am not aware of tattoos being a "thing" for supporters of candidates of either political party.

What it IS..is a "neo nazi thing" ( or alt right thing - or whatever term).

Cover your bod with swastikas, and the like. And some Aryan supremist also happened to be Trump supporters. And apparently that gentleman is an example of that subset. So he is doing a Neo Nazi thing. Not exactly a "MAGA Thing".

Very few Aryan Supremists or Neo Nazis were Obama supporters (for SOME odd reason), so very few of them had Obama tattoos.. :lol:

I would think that the percentage of folks who would put political messages on their body would be quite small.

It is my belief some certain tattoos are designed to show that you are "committed" to a certain lifestyle.

For instance, facial tattoos are illegal in several countries. So some people get facial tattoos to demonstrate that they are certified "Hardcore/OG/Made Man/1 percenter" etc...

... but getting a permanent tattoo to celebrate a politician who will be in office for a maximum of 8 years seems a bit misguided, though...

I don't see a lot of people running around flashing "GOLDWATER 1964" ink on their back.. Do you?

And there are no statues of Jimmy Carter, history’s greatest monster.

His message says "the New Aryan Empire". So its mainly an Aryan Nation tattoo.

But yeah...tattooing an elected official on your body is even more risky than doing that with the name of girlfriend. With a gf you MIGHT end up as lifelong spouses. But you KNOW that a pol only has a short limited term in office. Unless...you are convinced that the politician should violate the Constitution, and be...president for life!

I suppose if he has a girlfriend, she has something more interesting to look at than just his bare back which isn't much to look at. If she exists, I imagine they don't have all that much to talk about either - certainly nothing of more depth than a bird's footprint.

It really seems odd to have a politician's face on one's back. But that made me think of another crazy plan - if there's a politician you DON'T like, one could consider having one half of his face tattooed on each butt cheek with the middle of the face in the centre...

So...you would have inked the message "The New Aryan Empire" around the face of Snoopy?

Definitely not... Just Snoopy. Perhaps with the words Be Yourself - No one can say you're doing it wrong.

If I got a tat it would never have a political message...

I dunno what the number is, but I wondered if there’s a trend of people getting trump tatts like there has been of certain people getting swastikas or gang tattoos. Would be a bit more concerning to learn that hundreds/thousands of trump supporters are all getting similar trump tattoos on their arms vs just several one off fanatics doing it.
