Today, my son told me he got a tattoo to honour our German heritage. The bloody fool got an eagle and swastika on his arm. I had to explain to a 20-year-old what WWII was. He’s now researching laser removal. Idiot. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my son was arrested for tagging a wall with the well known symbol of a certain evil Nazi leader. Not only that, the police showed me a picture of the graffiti and turns out he’s so dumb he couldn’t even draw the symbol properly and gave up after 4 failed attempts. FML
Today, a tattoo artist angrily threw me out of his store because an "88" tattoo is apparently a Nazi thing, representing “Heil Hitler.” I just wanted my birth year. FML
Today, my 18-year-old son got his first tattoo. I would have loved it, if it wasn't a text on his hand with a glaring spelling mistake in it. FML
Today, someone informed me that my new boyfriend's tattoo is really an old Nazi symbol and not just a poorly-drawn skull. Now I'm trying to figure out how to ask him whether he's a neo-Nazi or not. Why am I so nervous? I'm Jewish, he just hasn't heard my last name yet. FML
Today, at my sister's wedding, I got my 15 month-old son to 'sign' the big guest book. I gave him a pen and was hoping for a cute little squiggle or something. But no, he managed to draw something that looked uncannily like a big swastika. FML
Today, I had an argument with my brother after discovering his new Confederate flag tattoo. His main response was, "It's about heritage, not hate!" We're third generation Italians from New Jersey. FML
Today, I went on a date with a respectable, successful, polite, and attractive guy. Ten minutes into the conversation, I find out he's a neo-Nazi and earned a swastika tattoo in prison for "something shady." FML
Today, my boss asked me if I know anything about those tattoos that girl put on their lower backs. "You mean Tramp Stamps?" I responded. He looked at me with hatred in his eyes and said that his 18 year old daughter just got one. FML
Today, my six-year-old son called to say he was suspended from school for drawing some “pretty flowers.” Confused as to why that would warrant punishment, I took a look and they were swastikas. He’s inconsolable. FML
Today, at the age of 57, my dad got a unicorn tattooed on his shoulder. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

The idiot knew. He was just surprised to see that you didn't like it. He must have Googled or read about it in a book because he knew it has something to do with Germany. What a damn mess!

Did he even finish school? How naive do you have to be to do something so stupid?

Nothing wrong with showing love for your heritage but do research next time.

There's only one scenario I can think of where he didn't know. The idiot asked the internet what tattoo he should get to honour his German heritage, and the internet responded. And the idiot didn't do any further research. That's the only situation I can imagine where this tattoo was a result of sheer stupidity/ignorance and not malice.

Either our education has fallen that far or he is a complete and utter moron.

How did he not know?! How did no one warn him? And why was the tattoo artist okay with it?

Oh dear god at this point most people should know what that means just avoid Jewish people for a while unless you want an angry mob of people chasing after you

They say it’s really difficult when a child discovers they’re smarter than their parents, it must be pure agony when a parent learns they spawned a spanner...

This is why I've never gotten a tattoo. You might end up with something you're going to absolutely regret later on.

Seriously though, how could he Nazi the consequences of his tattoo?

There's the wrong way to get a tattoo, and then there is the Reich way.

I'm a little concerned about the tattoo artist. Did he not know (unlikely) or was he excited to ink his new, neo-nazi brother?
