Graham Platner on Reddit 6 years ago commenting on a thread mentioning the totenkopf on a post discussing SS soldiers with a visible totenkopf in the photo

Still think giving him the benefit of the doubt is cool?
Somebody should interview the Croatian tattoo artist - if he actually exists that is. I wonder what he'd say.
Journo: "Is it a Nazi tattoo? A Totenkopf?"
Croatian tattoo artist: "Of course it is! And I want to apologize from the bottom of my heart for my sloppiness. There are no cranial sutures on the top of the skull because they were too tricky for me. I was new to tattooing then."
Now I'm wondering if Platner got the tattoo from somebody else somewhere else.
Unless it was his last tattoo then there's a good chance that whoever tattooed him since he got that one done saw his chest and the totenkopf on it.
There are two types of tattoo artists:
The ones who know all of the fascist and gang symbols that refuse to tattoo them and the ones who are comfortable with tattooing those symbols. If a typical tattooist saw that tattoo they'd likely refuse to tattoo him or they'd offer to cover it up.
This is speculative, sure, but it's less speculative than the arguments that amongst a handful of blurry, poorly lit pixels you can clearly tell that there are no cracks in Platner's totenkopf tattoo, that Platner has never seen a Nazi with a totenkopf in his entire life, and that nobody had ever pointed out that he had a Nazi tattoo on him.
The selective suspension of disbelief that is on display is really breaking my brain.
He's also a self-proclaimed history buff. I think the democratic party and most libs will continue to back him until new information comes forth like a handful of witness confirm that he bragged about slaughtering Iraqi civilians for fun.
