I was seriously looking at a tattoo, but dropped the idea after running it by a friend who was more aware of the problematic implications than I was at the time.

It's not hard to make a mistake. And it might be hard to recall that, at least in America prior to 2016, we didn't generally take (neo)Nazism and unironic fascism seriously.
