        I’m guessing the intention here is that they’re fake, marker drawn ones. Still not great, but I’d think the artist who made this would at least understand that much if they understood rules like no phone, no pics, no talking to pigs.

          That makes sense. But then again, the mom seems to be proudly showing off some unique tattoos herself, like that Opel gender sign, so it might run in the family.

            There are like 4 people in the world who are proud of owning an Opel and I know 3 of them

            That tattoo has got to make you particularly identifiable

        As a tangent this is what has always irritated me with movements like the pro- legalization of weed.

        I work 9-5 make good money and have 3 kids. I’m north of 40. I am not the same as the Billy bong pothead everyone sees at every rally because people like me stay the fuck away.

        There are many of us that do not want to announce ourselves that are in the system actively working to change it for the better of everyone. Tattoos and a torn jacket do not make a punk.

          Billy bong pothead is probably also working full time and just as likely to have kids as anyone.

          What’s the problem that you’re getting at? People dressing different? Expression of counter culture?

            I think he is referring to himself of a “higher class” than billy bong, whatever that means (and it might be true if we are talking economic class)

          Exactly, people can see me and have no idea that I’m an anarchist. Like, mad respect to those who have political tattoos, my wife has a subtle one even, but I don’t even have any non political ones. It makes people not notice that the things I’m saying are anarchy.

            I noticed that you’re an anarchist straight away and I can’t even see your lack of tattoos. Don’t think the plan is working for you, sorry :/

              It was the bicycles wasn’t it? People can always tell my anarchism from my love of bicycling

          Maybe if people like you had some balls and weren’t judgmental and disparaging to the people out there fighting for change and visibility you’d have some more movement on legalization. Jeez man your comment is kinda fucked.

      Yeah, that’s a good rule of thumb. But in a huge group of anarchists i don’t know if the anarchist symbol is particularly identifiable.

      For real tho, if you’re out protesting it’s probably a good idea to cover your tattoos.

        The commonality of symbol itself isn’t necessarily the point. If you have one that is easily identifiable (such as the anarchy sybmol) and the location is readily apparent, say on your left arm on your elbow, then that’s enough for them to go with to help with ID the person. While there may be plenty of the symbol around, the odds of a person of a certain age/sex/color having that same symbol in the same spot is pretty close to zero.

        Late edit: if you want to fool visual identification via tattoos, get fake tattoos that are visible and then remove them.

      What’s the deal with tattoos? I’m somewhat interested in getting some, but I don’t want to get them if they’ll make things more risky in the future. Then again, at an action you should be in black pants and long sleeve shirt with gloves and a mask, so maybe it doesn’t matter all that much as long as you cover them?

        Cover them, and don’t get arrested, because if you get arrested, they will strip you naked in order to force you to shower and make note of any tattoos you didn’t divulge in booking.

          What are the repercussions of them being noted after arrest? Is the main thing that you’re at higher risk if the tattoos are easily visible and there’s a warrant for your arrest in the future?

            Think of it like having your name, address written across your forehead. On its own a tattoo is benign but it’s another item that can be used to personally identify you

              Hmm, but there are already other things that make me stand out like being tall and masc + long hair. Would tattoos make a meaningful difference at that point?

                Yup. Depends on how paranoid you want to be.

                IMHO if those in power want to identify you they will, tattoos or not.

                It’s just an added identifier. One extra point to match to you if it were to show up somewhere. This is a big reason to not get face/hand tattoos - they’re difficult to hide out in public.
