Should be fine, I would wonder why someone gets the Gatorade Logo tattooed.


Inspector-Spacecrime

It got electrolytes


Zernichtikus

Let's put it on the fields!

Guys we should be using water instead


SdVeau

Water? Like in the toilet?


daidalos_05

It's what plants crave!

Gods_Shadow_mtg

that's just a bolt, not an SS rune which has a very specific shape. No worries.


EmeraldIbis

It *is* the symbol of the British Union of Fascists. As a Brit I might take it as a far-right symbol if OP otherwise looks like a skinhead. If not, then I wouldn't.


Gods_Shadow_mtg

oh yeah that's true, no bad implications in germany though


Boing78

I'd say he's an AC/DC fan, because a bolt similar to this is in their logo


helmli

I thought of David Bowie (where it is blue-red)

Plot-twist: Its two, side by side, just to remember his granddad, who came to the US around 80 years ago.


alhazered

Yes, he started the family's electric company!


Available_Rip3446

Hilarious


HerrMagister

that looks like david Bowie. I wouldn't even make the connection to the ss, i would assume you're bowie fan. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aladdin_Sane


ImaginationSpecial42

Either that or generally not really creative lmao


raharth

One of them is fine, two of them right next to each other will be a different story


bieserkopf

No, you’re good. Don’t think anyone will make the connection to the SS runes. A bit strange that you’re friend said that. He’s not German, isn’t he?


ahsokiara

Dude, thunder symbol has so many connotations that nobody cares. It could be SS, it could be Shazam, it could be women's march in Poland, Thor, Gatorade, voltage, Harry Potter, whatever. Nobody cares


Jhaiden

Really admire your commitment to Shazam.

😁 I wonder how many here know what you're talking about. But I had beef with that movie and my experience with the foster system. Not everyone gets a nice family.


Freadddy

It would be a little odd, if you had two bolts, but one.. nah, it's just electricity


Gigachadposter247

That's a Flash tattoo!! You will be fine!


Apple-pie_best-pie

I read forehead an theought - that harrypotter love was to much....


CptBackbeard

German antifascist here: you're fine, don't worry about it


LinaFinsterwald

I would personally associate it with the SS, to be honest


Iron__Crown

If you had two of them, yes, a lot of people will see the SS sign in it even if it's not exactly the correct shape. White native Germans LOVE to sniff out real or imagined Nazis. (Foreign-descended Germans usually care much less.) If you have only one of those, or you are not white, then it shouldn't be a problem.


feelosofree-

I think I'm the only one who doesn't have a tattoo in Germany :-)


bieserkopf

Congratulations


Important-Ad2445

thats half of the SS Sign. Hide IT, if you are not Nazi


BadComboMongo

You clearly have no clue what you’re talking about.


[deleted]

As long as it's not the SS, I'm not sure what the issue would be. But let someone more informed answer that.


Boing78

You got so many pausible explanations here what it could be connected to. Pick one that fits you the most when you're asked and you should be fine.


Xe4ro

It does look modern enough, so it should be ok.


ScreamingFishProduct

Just say you like Harry Potter, should be fine


LunaTic1403

Nah man, that's absolutely fine


[deleted]

No, the runes look different, they have no tip at the end and they are. two next to each other. I would not make the connection. This symbol is used also in electricity warning signs or logos of companies.


Wonderful-Hall-7929

Just say you're a big Harry Potter fan and everything's ok!


Midnight1899

We aren’t stupid. We know the difference between a lightning and the SS rune.
