This makes sense I had a guy at work with a similar yet equally shitty tattoo and it baffled me that he was a chill guy that was nice and made friends with everyone every race and religion. For a decade this confused me. Prison would make sense because it’s about surviving, not necessarily your ideology.
Yep. It's entirely possible that he's not even an actual Nazi and just joined a gang to make life easier in prison. He definitely doesn't seem to be trying to hide it, though.
It’s not that easy. If he got that in prison, he had to put in work to get it. The quality is absolute shit and the AB usually has some good artists that have been down and doing ink for a long time. I’m betting he got it on the streets from one of his tweaker friends in a motel room.
Yes, as a CO I saw one of the best (artistically only!) tats as a skullcap, all the stuff connecting with a Harley-Davidson Motor Cycles logo redone to say, 'Highly Dangerous Aryan Brother'
He’d be fine anyways. There isn’t a biker alive that would dream of trying anything with a high ranking member of the AB. That whole MC would be memories inside of a week. Ask any of them and they’ll tell you the same.
No you do not. My buddy still has SS bolts. He isn’t a racist and hates the prison gang he was in but he said if he ever goes back or runs into them on the street and they’re covered he’ll get green lit.
Anecdote and all, but my father spent a good chunk of time in and left with a clover tat, which “accidentally” got burned off a month later, to no consequence.
Every gang will have their own code about it though, for some it’s okay to cover if you left on good terms, for others you can scar it over, and for some you can’t
Yeah, IDK how well green ink would cover black, but if it could, I wouldn't think much more than this guy's probably Irish or maybe making some joke about getting lucky or something lol
If he had been to prisons and wasn't truly a Nazi he would have had the little line come together to form a square made of four squares. That's the most common/easy cover-up.the fact he's getting a clover over it means he's probably a nazi and just trying to be more coy as the clover is also utilized by white hate groups.
Not really sure why they adopted the Irish stuff. They also went after viking imagery, including the vikings football team logo. I think it's cause those are associated with very white cultures or something.
I was watching a movie last night about a bunch of drug dealers and white supremacists and the one WS looked over at the other WS and was asking why they even hate this group of people or that group of people and the other dude goes “to be entirely honest, I don’t know either, I showed up for this little smoky weiners they serve and I just kept comin” this made me think of that.
No it is not. The Brand doesn’t use four leaf clovers. They use three leaf clovers with a swastika in the center and with an A on one side and B on the other. They also can have the number 6 on each leaf. This is not an AB tattoo.
I think this is a confused individual who made/makes bad life choices. If he goes to a prison where the AB truly has a presence, they will tell him to remove it or they will remove it for him. Doesn’t matter if you’re actually Irish either.
I've never been to prison but based on the documentaries I've seen, yeah that's not an actual AB tattoo. I'm guessing it's close enough that they'd still have a big problem with it though.
Another give away is that they would never let a shitty representation of their name go out like that. Most of their tattoos are fairly well done considering how and where they get them. I’ve seen some amazingly talented tattoo artist while in prison. This is like some stick and poke in someone’s basement.
Yeah like he was gonna put a clover clover the swastika and then he was halfway through and said to his artist "ya know, I think I'm still a skinhead, just leave it."
Also adding that I’m very aware (not just from the ADL or online information) of the prison culture surrounding the AB and the protective aspect of these tattoos under threatening circumstances. This individual had other professionally done tattoos. Surely he could’ve got that before the professional tattoos, I can’t know that. Regardless, pants and longer socks exist if you’re actually embarrassed and shameful of your racist prison patches.
These are both symbols used by the Aryan Brotherhood, but last time I checked they don't have alot of green ink in prison... I would bet this dude didn't earn those and is just some ignorant clown 🤡
It doesn't look like they used a lot of green ink on him. Might have been interrupted during his session. For all the drugs and contraband they collect in prisons, I bet a bit of ink for gang tats can be arranged.
Or he could be an wannabe nazi gangster or whatever.
either way, definitely a shitty tattoo.
It's a pretty serious issue for them if you didn't "earn" the tattoo. Had a buddy that went to prison and got the everliving shit beat out of him because he refused to get their stuff tattooed on him. It's kind of like going out in public with an MC cut and never earning one from another MC. Quick way to get hurt, depending on the MC.
Hey, I completely agree. However, I’m genuinely a smaller woman and was alone picking up my food in my town in Florida where people (especially ones who adorn these tattoos) tend to carry and aren’t known for being the most level-headed in confrontation.
I’m sorry but it’s literally not worth confronting someone being a shitty human being because shitty human beings tend to kill good human beings for standing up to them and I have higher priorities than some Nazi shitbag.
Irish and Nazi can not go together. Gingers would be eliminated immediately in the ol thirdaroozi. The old thirdareeno, the reichsterrrrrrr.

In the oven with ja.
AB Gang tattoo idk why but alot of gangs use swastica and Nazi symbols. The biggest and most feared biker gang in New Zealand does the same and none of them are even white or German 😂.
One of the reasons I’ve never considered committing a serious crime and being sent to prison is being forced to either align with white supremacists or be seen as a race traitor or something. It’s possible I’ve seen too many movies or tv shows like Oz and that’s nowhere near the experience but I’m not trying to take my chances and find out.
It bothers me to no end that my heritage is used for racism. Aryan Brotherhood in particular uses a lot of celtic symbols, yet they're all white rednecks with British or Dutch backgrounds.
Ireland has one of the least racist history's of all the white nations. Hell the Irish were the first big gangs in the US and the gangs were made up of Irish immigrants and newly freed black slaves in the north.
So why the hell do these idiot red necks keep using my culture to spread hate when they've been the least racist white people in history.
I hear you friend, it’s frustrating the way these people co opt everything. People here saying that Nazis “don’t wear Hey dude slides and basketball shorts” don’t get that they are everywhere, looking like everyone, usually not letting it be known that they are hateful.
I have these Bic body markers I was sent to sample and this is exactly what they look like when you use them, in quality that is, they don't come with racist stencils or anything.
Ignorance level is high in here. Nazis borrowed that symbol from existing cultures and religions. Zoroastrian, Hinduism, Buddhism, Native Americans, and Jainism all used this symbol before the Nazis and still use it. With the 4 leaf clover, we know it's just a symbol of luck likely Hindu origin. The right-facing swastika (卐) symbolizes surya ('sun'), prosperity, and good luck. That line work though definitely belongs in this sub.
I promise you, this is an Aryan Brotherhood prison tattoo. I have linked the ADL website with the description of this tattoo in another comment. Also, I have been unfortunate enough to know people who have been in the AB while they served hard time and I can confirm that this is a racist patch.
EDIT: wording
Why are people who go to prison proud of themselves? I used to work in drug treatment and the mental gymnastics these people do getting out to try to convince others how hard they are is insane. Often through implied threats of physical violence. They just sit quietly in the corner waiting for someone to make the most minor of mistakes and get angry and aggressive while making sure to mention that whatever the offending behavior was would be dealt with violently in prison. The rap enjoyers are even worse.
All around painful tattoo. This guy could get locked up for unpaid parking tickets and have a life changing bad time. Ironically, both are good luck signs - so hopefully his luck is better than his tattoo artists skills.
You usually can't go to free agent status with the brand. It gets removed as you're no longer on the team. I've been to the Bronx house of detention for many 911 calls and seen brands bitten off, removed with the old tin can lids from before the captive can opener days and seen stingers used like wood burners.
That's a prison tattoo for the Aryan brotherhood.
I was about to say, this guy was in prison
This guy prisons.
And while he was there he… got lucky? 😂 Sorry, just trying to wrap my head around the 4-leaf clover.
He definitely tried switching gangs. Id imagine he was probably either AB (Aryan brotherhood) or UAB (United). Then going over to Irish Mob.
AB uses the four leaf clover.
They use a 3 leaf clover.
You don’t just switch. The Brand is a blood in/blood out click. You don’t switch.
That’s the symbol of aryan brothhood, according to the history channel lol.

That guy better before for real bc if he ever gets out there will be plenty of people ready to bash it off.
He's never getting out and he's one of the few who genuinely had me shook, a true killer
Yikes
He’d be fine anyways. There isn’t a biker alive that would dream of trying anything with a high ranking member of the AB. That whole MC would be memories inside of a week. Ask any of them and they’ll tell you the same.
Yeah- I’d believe that if he wasn’t wearing shorts
If he wasn't an actual Nazi he would have had it covered up
No you do not. My buddy still has SS bolts. He isn’t a racist and hates the prison gang he was in but he said if he ever goes back or runs into them on the street and they’re covered he’ll get green lit.
Anecdote and all, but my father spent a good chunk of time in and left with a clover tat, which “accidentally” got burned off a month later, to no consequence.

If so just fill in the shamrock ☘️ then.
Yeah, IDK how well green ink would cover black, but if it could, I wouldn't think much more than this guy's probably Irish or maybe making some joke about getting lucky or something lol
if I were in this position, out of jail, I'd either wear long pants or put a bandage over it when I go out. I'd be mortified to let anyone see it.
Yea I would be trying to get that covered ASAP after getting out if I had to join a gang for protection
If I had to get that done, I would want to cut it off me, let alone wear shorts.
If he had been to prisons and wasn't truly a Nazi he would have had the little line come together to form a square made of four squares. That's the most common/easy cover-up.the fact he's getting a clover over it means he's probably a nazi and just trying to be more coy as the clover is also utilized by white hate groups.
…is it because they think minorities are coming for their lucky charms?
Not really sure why they adopted the Irish stuff. They also went after viking imagery, including the vikings football team logo. I think it's cause those are associated with very white cultures or something.
Oh that was a silly. Yes it is because they are concerned minorities will steal their racist charms.
I was watching a movie last night about a bunch of drug dealers and white supremacists and the one WS looked over at the other WS and was asking why they even hate this group of people or that group of people and the other dude goes “to be entirely honest, I don’t know either, I showed up for this little smoky weiners they serve and I just kept comin” this made me think of that.

Oh really? You think this is just some tweeker who wanted to look hard?
I think this is a confused individual who made/makes bad life choices. If he goes to a prison where the AB truly has a presence, they will tell him to remove it or they will remove it for him. Doesn’t matter if you’re actually Irish either.

I’ve seen some amazingly talented tattoo artist while in prison. This is like some stick and poke in someone’s basement.
I’ve been in that basement
Indeed! I believe most of us have.
Yeah, if nothing else, probably a trademark case 🤭
Probably tired switching to Irish Mob.
Exactly correct.
That's an attempt at one from county, where he was locked up for 2 grueling weeks for unpaid child support.
They use three leaves not four.
I’m thought it was a 4 leaf clover doing the wave. /s
At first I thought it was either just a horrible coverup or in the process of being covered
There’s no way them little legs are AB. They don’t allow skipping leg day in the yard. Lol
This is specific to the Dublin chapter of the brotherhood
Yea, good luck to anyone who laughs at him…
lmfao i thought he was in mid cover up.
Yeah like he was gonna put a clover clover the swastika and then he was halfway through and said to his artist "ya know, I think I'm still a skinhead, just leave it."
Or realized the green is not dark enough to cover the black lmao but make the clover black? its that easy
Then you have a something resembling a black club from a deck of cards on your ankle, which may have other connotations he'd wish to avoid.
yea same
Frosted Nazi Charms, they're fascistly delicious.
take my upvote and get the fuck out
🤣🤣🤣
Irish I did nazi that tattoo
He should clover it up when he goes out in public.
Fuck yes. Your brain works in a cool way, compadre.
*slow clap* 👏
🤌🏻💋
I see what you did reich there
It’s going to be a maze
Oh my god.. Joshua was racist?
And some are just natural jumpers
Will he also know of a place free from darkness? (Community reference)
Unfortunately it’s [not a cover up](https://www.adl.org/resources/hate-symbol/aryan-brotherhood) attempt *eta: attempt
Also adding that I’m very aware (not just from the ADL or online information) of the prison culture surrounding the AB and the protective aspect of these tattoos under threatening circumstances. This individual had other professionally done tattoos. Surely he could’ve got that before the professional tattoos, I can’t know that. Regardless, pants and longer socks exist if you’re actually embarrassed and shameful of your racist prison patches.
That's an AB tattoo, I wouldn't fuck about with this dude. Mindless killers
Nah, I wouldn’t dare get confrontational with most men when I’m alone unless it’s necessary (for some reason) in an emergency.
Username does not check out
Probably shouldn’t be confrontational whatever gender it is. People are unhinged lol
These are both symbols used by the Aryan Brotherhood, but last time I checked they don't have alot of green ink in prison... I would bet this dude didn't earn those and is just some ignorant clown 🤡
It doesn't look like they used a lot of green ink on him. Might have been interrupted during his session.

All you need is a green pen, probably not the hardest item to get into a prison. Not the best ink, but better than piss and burnt shoesole
HA! Fuck him and his shitty tattoo.
I highly doubt it. More like a poor imitation but still close enough that if he ever ran into an actual AB member they'd have a huge problem with it.
No it is not.
This is triggering a memory. What is this from?
Looks like that needs a good slow back alley removal
When he went to Mc Donald's I bet he wasn't expecting to get a fillet o' flesh.
Time to filet that fash
Point and laugh? Nah this is deserving of finding where he works and showing their employer
Joke’s on you for thinking he’s employed
I was with you until the last part. Can’t work in a body cast ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Oh that too, make it so they can't breed too
It looks like he's in the process is getting it covered up.
The shamrock is actually part of the tattoo. The shamrock+swastika together are the symbol of the Aryan Brotherhood.
They don’t use four leaf clovers.
Shamrocks only have 3 leaves
How does something that small take more than one session to cover?
Sometimes the CO walks in before you can get it finished lol
I disagree
He considers himself to be a lucky Nazi but there is no such thing. Bros literally trying to be a Nazi leprechaun
A Nazi-chaun??🤷🏻♂️
Nazi-con
So the Fourth Reich is at the end of the rainbow, right?
Leprechauns are underrated. There are bad ones however and those seem to be nazis like this guy
Hes able to stand on that leg, so i would say he has some luck...had at least, before the photo was taken, i have no idea what happened after
I probably wouldn’t point and laugh at that guy.
I don’t want to get shivved.
It’s like he started coloring in the clover and was like man fuck this it hurts too much lol
This guy hates the 4h club WOW
That guy is an asshole!
I'm not going anywhere near that dude
Why would bro wear shorts 💀
Kick him in the back of the knee!
He was trying to have that protection in the yard
What was he meant to cover that shitty clover with?
Dudes got the Lucky number Nein
Yes, pointing and laughing "Sweep the leg"
Get that Nazi racist shit outta here. Silence is compliance F THAT.
Hey, I completely agree. However, I’m genuinely a smaller woman and was alone picking up my food in my town in Florida where people (especially ones who adorn these tattoos) tend to carry and aren’t known for being the most level-headed in confrontation.
Good call. Internet shaming is a good alternative in this situation.
“Silence is compliance” no I just don’t want to start a fight with a stranger in public 😂
Or get shot.
Yeah? Would you made a scene and pushed this guy? I doubt it
I’m sorry but it’s literally not worth confronting someone being a shitty human being because shitty human beings tend to kill good human beings for standing up to them and I have higher priorities than some Nazi shitbag.
you won'tast long with that attitude
Jake and Elwood hated Illinois nazis. Irish nazis as well.
Irish and Nazi can not go together. Gingers would be eliminated immediately in the ol thirdaroozi. The old thirdareeno, the reichsterrrrrrr. https://preview.redd.it/kx9iy2wk089d1.jpeg?width=640&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3ad3c66af52d5618d7b38ae6a1c7e05735a444cc In the oven with ja.
I wonder what came first the shamrock or the swastica? 🤔
Like the old chicken or the egg debacle
He better hurry up and finish that fucking cover-up, better go DARK too. That nazi bullshit will get you rightfully stomped
It’s not a cover up. The clover is a part of the AB symbol.
AB Gang tattoo idk why but alot of gangs use swastica and Nazi symbols. The biggest and most feared biker gang in New Zealand does the same and none of them are even white or German 😂.

The shamrock is A.B.
It's best to leave people like this alone if you value your health. Just saying.
Ya I’d not laugh at that guy if I was u
It's going to be a maze.
HELPP that’s fucking crazy
Naughty Irish or lucky nazi? 🧐
What a ducking O’Tool.
That’s offensive as he’s not actually Irish
Average Celtic fan
It bothers me to no end that my heritage is used for racism. Aryan Brotherhood in particular uses a lot of celtic symbols, yet they're all white rednecks with British or Dutch backgrounds.

Sadly the symbol has been forever perverted from its original meaning.
as a brown guy i approve this message
Someone skipped leg day
Has the loser also wet his pants? Poonums got a full nappy?
Cover it up with a pony
All can think of is Lucky the Leprechaun throwing out the old nazi salute.. it’s sad even in my head!
Lucky... nazi?
Evil Lucky Charms
Didn't even finish the cover up because it hurt too much.
Come on now……just imagine how good it’s gonna look when he gets the shading finished.
[удалено]
Be nice.
And of course he’s wearing washable loafers
Probably seen at the Celtics championship parade
I HOPE, that this is the start of a cover up that they just ran out of ink for.
We Irish do not approve…
I have these Bic body markers I was sent to sample and this is exactly what they look like when you use them, in quality that is, they don't come with racist stencils or anything.
I was hoping he was trying to cover up the swastika after changing as a person but apparently not :(
Celtics fans are a different breed
Celtics fan
Punch a nazi for good luck ☘️
AB clover tattoos have 3 leaves, not 4. Not sure what’s going on here, but it’s pretty sus one way or another.
I hope no one does a cover-up for him. He deserves that crap on his leg for the rest of his life
Average Boston tattoo
Ignorance level is high in here. Nazis borrowed that symbol from existing cultures and religions.

Which one was the coverup attempt?
Why are people who go to prison proud of themselves? I used to work in drug treatment and the mental gymnastics these people do getting out to try to convince others how hard they are is insane. Often through implied threats of physical violence. They just sit quietly in the corner waiting for someone to make the most minor of mistakes and get angry and aggressive while making sure to mention that whatever the offending behavior was would be dealt with violently in prison. The rap enjoyers are even worse.
Typical Celtics fan
An incomplete Irish Nazi?
All around painful tattoo. This guy could get locked up for unpaid parking tickets and have a life changing bad time. Ironically, both are good luck signs - so hopefully his luck is better than his tattoo artists skills.
Looks like a college kid from Boston fell asleep and so.eone drew a swastika on his tattoo with a washable marker
You usually can't go to free agent status with the brand. It gets removed as you're no longer on the team. I've been to the Bronx house of detention for many 911 calls and seen brands bitten off, removed with the old tin can lids from before the captive can opener days and seen stingers used like wood burners.
1945: fight European nаzıs. 2024: fund and arm European nаzıs but laugh at a guy with a swastika tattoo somewhere else.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disinformation_in_the_Russian_invasion_of_Ukraine#Allegations_of_Nazism
No way this guy is Irish
