Not everyone thinks much about the symbolic meaning of a tattoo - I certainly couldn't have identified the Totenkopf before seeing his tattoo and doubt I've seen one in the decade prior (at least where it was clearly a symbol being used by nazis). So unless someone at like a public swimming area where I decided to go topless pointed it out, I there's a good chance none of the people close to me would recognize it either.
I could totally buy the "I got a generic skull and cross bones tattoo cause it look cool" excuse if it wasn't for posting in a thread about the Nazi Totenkopf 6 years ago (long after getting his tattoo) and either not realizing it matched his tattoo (and him not being covered in like dozens of tats) or not caring to get it covered up/removed immediately. https://undelete.pullpush.io/r/CombatFootage/comments/auy0bi/_/ehbh3n6/?context=4
Apparently he also defended people getting SS thunderbolt (something I'd be surprised for a self-proclaimed military history buff would be aware of being a nazi symbol, even if not the Totenkopf) tattoos, both on reddit and response to being called out for his nazi tattoo recently. And two people have told reporters that he's talked about how his tattoo looks like a nazi tattoo to them (granted, if it were just anonymous "acquaintances" claiming this, I wouldn't trust them reporters at all).
Oof. Everything up to that I can potentially write off as dumb marine, but damn.
