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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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

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?

Might want to supervise his research, or he might come back with clean underarms instead.

Or worse: he might "take a shower", if you get the drift...

Did you tell him to shave off that mustache and to stop doing the salute as well?

Wow, I did nazi that coming!

No way you can do enough research on Germany to find the eagle and swastika symbol without seeing at least a little something about WW2.

any native born Germans can verify if the Imperial Eagle is banned?
Rabite 28
The eagle itself is not banned. Only together with the swastika. However, people using this eagle (there are different versions of it throughout history), well, they show very clearly what their mindset is.

Um... how does someone NOT know about World War II? My history teachers were all coaches and we learned next to nothing, but wet still knew what WWII was. Bloody fool/idiot indeed.

My school always got a raging boner for WWII, always dedicated a month in History and Language Arts

I mean... if your kid got to 18 without knowing anything about WWII, especially a kid with German ancestry, you've kind of failed them as a parent. Alongside how to tie his own shoes and not to stick crayons up his nose, that's some information you should be making sure he acquires.

On the bright side, he won't have any difficulty joining the Aryan gang if & when he does a spell in prison. A whole new meaning to "packing protection".

Get your son to watch American History X too

OP, if you believe him you are fooled. Take a hard look at him and his friends. I work with kids and young adults to get them out of extremists circles - it is astounding how blind parents choose to be because they are afraid to see the truth. "My kid doesn't know better/is just dumb/ has false friends " is the song played by almost every parent. And NO, THEY DO KNOW!
