To be fair, just look at all the people who have Chinese words written on them that say something that they weren’t trying to say.
To be perfectly honest, I would never vote for a politician with an un-researched Chinese tattoo, either. It means they’re very stupid or, at best, simply don’t think about consequences.
Fair enough. Drunk 20-somethings military dudes getting a walk-in tattoo in some random country probably aren’t going to be making many smart decisions. It was clearly not a well thought-out tattoo.
Nevertheless, I don’t think the debate is about whether this guy got a bad tattoo or not, it’s about whether he is a nazi or knowingly got a nazi tattoo.
The “consequences” of a tattoo, on your own skin? No one gets a tattoo for someone else. Unless you are just anti-tattoo, I don’t think anyone should give a fuck about the “consequences” of a tattoo.
What about a cartoon character? What about a “deep” quote like “to thyself be true.” Is that ok? “Live, Laugh Love?” Can you provide a list of “acceptable” tattoos for others?
Getting a tattoo in a language you don’t speak that says something you don’t even understand shows a lack of forethought that’s worrying in an average person, let alone a politician. I genuinely don’t get what’s confusing about this.

If you’re walking around with the word “STIR-FRY NOODLES” on your arm you are not someone who I trust to make laws.
