Rolling Sevens (777)
Symbol of the South African white supremacist Afrikaner Resistance Movement (AWB). Racists use this symbol to glorify systems of apartheid.
Sigh, I don’t think I’ll be getting this tattoo. Period. Thanks for the honesty, guys.
Does this help with the visualization? (Before Hitler ruined the Swastika for the non-murderous fascists, there were both three- and four-armed variants. I’m surprised they chose that as the Tie Fighter symbol…)
EDIT: Holy crap, the site where I found that image is a place in Montana that sells replica Nazi uniforms. Zoinks. http://www.soldat.com
Brian, maybe you consider getting the ink done in UV ink? Invisible unless under a blacklight - so you would have it, and likely with that sort of purple glow under a blacklight, but random people you meet under most situations aren’t going to get the wrong idea about it since they won’t see it.
Whatever, if it has meaning to him it would have been a way for him to get what he wanted without worrying about pissing off people who think it means something else. It’s a good solution.
And it’s just one of the many different uses of the triskelion. Thw swastika is the most identifiable nazi symbol. I personally think it’s a bit of a reach. It’s probably just as obscure a reference as is the tie fighter symbol itself.
Granted, that’s why you get a henna version first, to give it a teast run.
