never thought I'd be bummed on a sombrero...

Yeah, that image is ruined. The swaz can never be ok. Although Mexico does have an interesting connection with the swastica. See the painting "Communists, Fascists and other Clowns" by Jose Clemente Orozco. I discovered his by accident while surf tripping solo by bus through Mexico. His public murals are worth a trip to Guadalajara.

Here's a Flickr link to the painting...

unfortunately this image loses its irony knowing that Mexico did cooperate with the nazis; it was discovered that mexico supplied oil for hitler's lblitzkrieg (lighting war) although Hitler's attrocities were not known to the mexican public until after the war
but i suppose the person wearing this tattoo is probably not a WW2 historian...

love it or hate.
it's just ink.
but i'm sure this will become some big debate now....as always.

originally and currently by many cultures as a positive and peaceful symbol, skewed by the nazis, brought back by american soldiers as momentoes and trophies from WWII, skewed again by the 1%ers, many of which who arent caucasian. its for shock value, and its just part of biker culture with barely any roots in hate.
... i cant believe i just typed this mess out, the fuck do i know.

Shock value? i bet will piss more Americans back then if you had a Rising Sun patch or hammer and sickle that a Swastiga.

in Europe who lived the terror first hand, you will see this symbol only on neoNazi groups. HA even took off the SS symbol when they started a chapter in Germany, cause there is a big tamboo to run Swastiga in public, and i dont blame them!

To me doesnt shock me i think is a cool symbol but Hitler ruin it for everyone... LOL

possibly Hitler's last meal was a 3 taco platter in the bunker as he dreamed of riding a panhead, and said to himself man those green guys kicked my ass, maybe that is what the bad luck green motorcycle is all about? anyway as i continue to rant as a and wonder about my german last name, my stomach cries out for Taco Bell ... maybe some of the green guys where mexicans? and they took back some of the spoils of war, maybe the guy that wore that funny hat killed a bunch of krauts? man what I would do for some mexican food right now, some people are Fascists for their panheads, are there white supremacists in mexico? do the taller whiter mexicans hate on the shorter darker mexican, do they eat german food in mexico...man art makes me crazy and gets me thinking about mexican food way too much

Raoul, you crack me up. Just a side to that. The Navajo's used that symbol a bunch on their pottery and weavings way before Hitler was a gleam in his old man's eye. Your right about the shock value.

i agree with both up top.
i have black friends,white,jewish,etc etc and none of them seem to give two shits about it when they see it on me or anyone else.
half of them don't even own a bike.

fuck it. who cares.

my next ink will be a unicorn standing on a mushroom,while dolphins jump over his head.
